Someone posted this on an earlier thread about the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_trade_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_trade_zone China uses free trade zones extensively.

Second, China's postal system is heavily subsidized and therefore much of the costs are hidden in the system.
