Actually I think the article is just PR. While the post offices in north America and Europe deliver Chinese goods at no cost, at the same time Chinese people send millions of very expensive packages to China.
For example Chinese parents who are well off want to have genuine baby food from western countries since the milk powder scandal that hit China a few years ago. They pay tremendous surcharges for a package of baby food and it must be sent from the west.
The same goes for luxury goods. You want to be sure to get a genuine Louis Vuitton bag? Get someone you know to buy it in France and have it shipped to you. The French postal office will cash in 50€ while the costs are certainly far below that.
