(COMTEX) B: From PC to PO: China Post to launch electronic postal servic B: From PC to PO: China Post to launch electronic postal service BEIJING, Sept 25, 2002 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- From the computer to the post office, a new service to be launched by China Post later this month will make communication even much easier for many Chinese. China Post announced the new service here Wednesday, which integrates Internet technology with traditional mail service, making it faster for connected people to send messages to those who are not. The national postal service will offer clients a pre-paid card, with which they can send mail, similar to sending e-mail via special-use mail software they buy and install on their computers. A machine in a post office near their addressee will automatically receive, print and seal the letter before mailing it to the receiver. Officials with China Post noted that so far only Australia and Indonesia have offered this service, while the United States and Japan are planning to launch it. Starting from Sept. 28, the service, which offers the advantages of high speed, safety and efficiency, will better serve the needs of companies as well as individuals. China Post has put the service on trial since last November in 18 municipalities, provinces and autonomous regions across China.
