According to Foresight News, China's National Development and Reform Commission, along with other departments, has issued a notice on implementing a plan to promote the open interconnection of logistics data and effectively reduce logistics costs across society. The plan emphasizes deepening the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the logistics industry, encouraging the digitization, visualization, and data-driven approach of fundamental logistics operations. The initiative aims to expand the large-scale application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain within the logistics sector. This will enable real-time data collection, extensive connectivity, and efficient data aggregation. The plan also supports major logistics enterprises and platform companies in strengthening logistics data governance. It advocates for the principles of "shared collaboration, multi-source verification, and dynamic updating" to facilitate data interconnection and interoperability across different entities, industries, and fields.
