The History of China Post

China Post, which is fully named China Post Group Corporation, is a state-owned enterprise that is the official postal service of China. China Post provides its postal services to mainland China.

China Post does not provide services to China’s special administrative regions (SAR) or Hong Kong. China Post also does not provide postal services to Macau. Hong Kong, Macau, and SAR have their own postal service that is independent to the mainland’s.

In 1878, the Customs Post Office of the Qing Empire was created. It was established by Robert Hart, who was a British diplomat and an official in the Qing Chinese government.

The Customs Post Office had five branches that were located in major trading cities, and on March 20, 1896, the Customs Post Office became known as the the Great Qing Post.

In 1911, the Great Qing Post became independent of China’s customs service, and in 1912, the Great Qing Post was renamed as the Chunghwa Post.

In 1929, Chunghwa postal service signed a contract with the China Federal Airways group. This contract made it so that Chunghwa post could transport airmail on three routes: the Shanghai-Hankow route, the Nanjing-Beijing route, and the Hankow-Guangzhou route.

Chunghwa Post then served as the primary postal service provider for Mainland China for two decades. Its function as the main postal service provider for Mainland China ended officially in 1949 when the current official postal service of the People’s Republic of China replaced it.

China Post joined the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1972, and it continues to be a member today. The Universal Postal Union was established in 1874 by the Treaty of Bern, and the UPU organizes the postal policies among member nations.

China Post was formerly administered by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and it is currently supervised by the State Post Bureau of the PRC (People’s Republic of China). The State Post Bureau is the official government agency that is responsible for governing and regulating China’s Postal Services.

The State Post Bureau used to report to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but it is now under the administration of the Ministry of Transport.

China Post engages in postal business ventures legally, and it is responsible for maintaining and increasing the value of the state-owned assets that it receives to operate.

China Post’s main business scope includes delivering mail both domestically and internationally as well as circulating journals, newspapers, and books. China Post’s business duties also include issuing stamps, logistics services, postal financial services, and producing and selling philatelic collections.

China Post market share

According to the State Post Bureau, China’s postal industry has a global market share of 20 percent. It also reports that China’s postal industry is the fastest-growing postal market in the world.

This is likely due to the strides the People’s Republic of China has made to optimize and further develop its postal industry.

Still, despite the success of China’s postal industry as a whole, China Post has seen a decrease in its market share because of increasing competition from international courier services such as FedEx, UPS, and DHL Worldwide Express.

It should be noted, however, that China Post continues to maintain its dominance in the postal services market share domestically. It is in the international market where China Post faces heavy competition.

Domestically, China Post has a 90 percent market share in the postal industry. This is because of China’s Postal Law which forbids private and foreign participation in the domestic postal service sector.

China Post is not expected to lose its 90 percent share of China’s domestic postal service industry anytime soon, but its international market share percentage is falling regularly with foreign courier services currently holding over 60 percent of the market shares.

China Post company size

China Post has more than 860,000 employees, and its current Director-General is Ma Junsheng. Ma Junsheng became China Post’s Director - General on October 31, 2008.

China Post headquarters and branches

China Post’s headquarters are in the Xicheng District of Beijing, China, and they are located at No. A3 Jinrong Street.

China Post has over 80,000 branches and 39,000 transportation vehicles. China Post also has over 200 processing centers and 20,000 computerized postal offices.

China Post has more than 200 parcel sorting machines, and it has more than 70 railway carriages. China Post has over 150 letter sorting machines.

China Post delivers parcels to more than 200 countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and India.

About China Post

China Post, full name China Post Group Business (Chinese: 中国邮政集团有限公司), is the state-owned business operating the official postal service of China, which provides the service in mainland China, excluding its special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau, which have their own postal service independent to the mainland's. The Corporation officially shares its office with the sub-ministry-level government firm State Post Bureau which manages the national postal industry theoretically consisting of the Corporation.

The Customs Post Office of the Qing Empire was developed in 1878 by Robert Hart at the suggestion of the foreign powers, with branch workplaces in five significant trading cities. On 20 March 1896, the Customs Post Office ended up being the Great Qing Post, which in 1911 ended up being independent of the customs service. The Great Qing Post ended up being the Chunghwa Post in 1912. Chunghwa postal service had signed a contract with the China Airways Federal group in 1929 to transfer airmail on the Shanghai-Hankow, Nanjing-Beijing, and Hankow-Guangzhou routes. Chunghwa Post had functioned as the primary postal service provider of Mainland China up until 1949.

The current postal service of the People's Republic of China was developed in 1949. It changed the Chunghwa Post in mainland China in 1949, along with in the Universal Postal Union in 1972. It was formerly administered by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. China Post is directly monitored by the State Post Bureau of the PRC which has total responsibility for regulating postal service in China. The State Post Bureau is an agency reporting to the Ministry of Information Industry of the People's Republic of China.
