There can only be one reason. The Chinese are

government is paying for a large chunk of operatingh
the China Post
aircraft or any hired air transport.

Wrong. The U.S. is subsidizing it. Almost all of the
cost in postal
services is in the delivery to individual addresses.


So how does China Post operate its aircraft? On three
gallons of
electrolyte mix? Somehow they manage to arrive here.

China Post operate airplanes?


They do.

And the Boeing 747 you see on the picture flies on three
gallons of
electrolyte mix from Shenzhen to Oakland or how do they
manage sub-$1
postage fes for large packages?

Probably because it carried 154 tons of cargo.


Nope. The actual cost per kilogram over that distance is
normally above $4. It simply does not compute.


in fairness, marginal freight such as mail goes on a 'space
available' basis. If the plane is full it goes in the next
empty ULD slot, sorta like flying standby, at a lower rate.
