DHL, the world's leading international express and logistics company, is flying high over China, stepping up infrastructure investment geared to capitalize on fast-growing intra-Asia/Pacific trade, in particular Japan-China trade.

According to John Mullen, chief executive officer of DHL Express, the company has been experiencing double-digit growth in the Asia-Pacific region for the last five years.

"The Intra-regional cargo volumes now account for close to 50 percent of DHL Express' revenues in the Asia-Pacific area and is our fastest growing segment," he said during a recent media briefing in Hong Kong.
