"We can reduce the delivery time by half compared with traditional delivery methods like cars or motorbikes. It is also very cost effective. The cost of urban delivery is about 1/5th of the cost of rural delivery in big cities. We hope to use drones to reduce costs dramatically."

"Delivering parcels to the village is very time consuming because it is far and the roads are in poor conditions. Drones are different, they can directly fly to the village and I can pick up the parcel and delivery directly to the customer. You save a lot of time."

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Andy Mok, analyst at Red Pagoda Resources:
"There are 600 million rural consumers in China, which is almost twice the population of the entire United States. However it has been very difficult to reach these consumers because of the lack of transport infrastructure, which is different in the United States, which has spent decades and trillions of dollars building interstate highways, tertiary roads, allowing companies like Amazon to easily reach even the most rural customers in the United States. So by using drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, companies like JD.com have the potential (to) leapfrog the need for road investments by governments to immediately access this large and growing market."

LEADIN:
Chinese retailers are investing heavily in drone delivery systems as a way to access millions of customers in the country's rural areas.
A surge in e-commerce has seen demand for online shopping deliveries increase. But poor road infrastructure in China's more remote provinces makes sending products by air a more attractive option.
STORYLINE:
A delivery drone takes off, gripping its precious cargo.
The Beijing-based e-commerce giant JD.com recently unveiled a fleet of 30 drones.
When a rural customer orders goods online, it is flagged when it is suitable for drone delivery.
Gao Hui, a part-time "village promoter" for JD.com:
