China's 2015 "Internet Plus" policy describes itself as "the profound integration of the innovation achievements of the Internet in all areas of the economy and society." It puts special emphasis on the "smartification of the manufacturing sector" and "high efficiency logistics" (see China Copyright and Media, "'Internet Plus' Plan"). China's "Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" proposes "industrial intelligentization," including "smart logistics" (China Copyright and Media, "Artificial Intelligence").
