KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 (Bernama) -- Nippon Express (China) Co Ltd (NE China), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd has opened and begun operations at new logistics locations in Jiashan, Hangzhou and Changshu in the Yangtze River Delta.

As part of China's national strategy, integrated development has been pursued in the Yangtze River Delta, comprising 16 cities in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province.
