Actually my understanding was the other way around. That is, the US = government is subsidizing (or at least providing preferential rates) to = China for shipping. It actually came up as a point of contention during = the Trump's presidency: "China is still considered a =E2=80=9Ctransitional=E2=80=9D country by = the UPU, which means it enjoys a lower rate for sending mail to a = developed nation like the US. As a result, mail services from China to = the US cost less than Americans are charged by their own postal service = for a comparable domestic delivery." -Ali=20
