Abstract
Since the beginning of 21st century, China has implemented its “Going Abroad” strategy, which has led to the rapid expansion in its scale of foreign direct investments, and rapid development in new trading modes as well. Under the policy support of the Government, logistics enterprises have been actively exploring ways of going abroad by accelerating the pace of internationalization through a variety of formats, and have subsequently achieved positive results.
