Shaanxi furthers cross-border e-commerce goal

Shaanxi is taking advantage of the online Silk Road to develop cross-border e-commerce. Honey from New Zealand, coffee from Rwanda, durian from Cambodia, as well as healthcare products from Australia, are now all available through online channels.

He Jian, head of the management committee of the Airport New City of Xixian Area in Shaanxi, said on April 8 that Shaanxi completed its first cross-border e-commerce bonded import business in the Airport New City, building the online Silk Road that connects China's northwestern inland region with the outside world.

"The Xi'an Xianyang International Airport now has 345 domestic airlines and 67 international airlines that connect 55 countries and regions around the globe. Three expressways, two inter-city railways and four subway lines meet at the airport, forming a multimodal transport center that can distribute cross-border e-commerce goods to anywhere in the shortest time," He said.
