《商务英语阅读（下册 第三版）》：
Furthermore， the economy has to go through a major restructuring.One problem for the country is that increased economic activity has led to rising labor costs especially in key regions of manufacturing and logistics.This will increase pressure on inefficient public sector companies and eventually lead to higher levels of unemployment.This will be increased by foreign competitors entering the market in line with China's WTO commitments.
"If China's economy does have a 'hard landing' as many economists predict， there will be a major impact on air， sea， express and logistics companies which have over invested in capacity in the region，" an insider says， "For the time being， though， the fragmented， low value—added nature of the Chinese transport market will still provide many opportunities for foreign， and the more developed domestic players， to grab market share."
Economy Imbalance
China's economy has wide variances in levels of activity and development.There is a major imbalance of goods flows from the developed east of the country to the more undeveloped west.This has resulted in difficulties in finding supports， leading to higher costs for Chinese haulage companies which transfer cargo among regions.Internationally these imbalances also exist between China and the rest of the world， leading to difficulties in re—positioning empty containers.
Domestic Trade Barriers
Although China's entry into the WTO has lowered trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas for international shipments， there are still problems related to moving goods around China itself.There are unofficial border tolls when goods move between provinces.This is particularly evident for shipping from an inland manufacturing location to a port city.
Poor Infrastructure
One of the key challenges facing the Chinese logistics industry is the status of the country's transport infrastructure.At present， despite some large scale projects， companies in the region complain of insufficient integration of transport networks， information technology（IT）， warehousing and distribution facilities.Outside of the main economic centers， the logistics sector tends to be of low quality， highly inefficient and with little technological competence.
