BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's courier sector is expected to handle over 75 billion parcels this year, the State Post Bureau said Thursday.
The country's express delivery firms have handled 50 billion parcels as of Thursday, accounting for about 200 million packages daily on an average, the bureau said.
