- rahimnathwani 11y agoThat article has no mention of subsidies from the Chinese government.
- RealGeek 11y agoI heard about Chinese Govt. subsidizing logistics on a news channel a while ago. I Googled about it yesterday and found this insightful article instead.
- mistermann 11y agoThis would seem to explain it. The shipping is subsidized, but not by the Chinese government, rather it is the recipient first world countries.
- rahimnathwani 11y agoYes, and this is totally different from the claim that "China's Government subsidies logistics to increase exports".
- smarx007 11y agoThis is the reason why I love HN - again, a comment that shines more light on a question than the original post itself.
