Storyline: Chinese logistics giant YTO speeds up cross-border deliveries in Central Asia [Voice_over] It's 2 p.m. in Almaty, and Ali is delivering his 41st package of the day. YTO, the Chinese logistics giant entered Kazakhstan in June last year, and for Ali — who studied in China — that provided him with an exciting opportunity. [Sound_bite] Alisher, Deliveryman, YTO International, Almaty: "When I was studying in China, I often shopped online using platforms like Taobao. So when I saw YTO in Kazakhstan for the first time, I was shocked. I think I have a future at this company." [Voice_over] In Almaty, YTO's arrival has changed the game through speed, especially for those who love Chinese products. [Sound_bite] Customer: "I think it's really fast and comfortable." (Ali: How long did it used to take you to receive a delivery?) "Two weeks." (Reporter: "Now?" ) "Now, faster, only one week." [Voice_over] At local stations like this one, 90 percent of the staff are local. People like Gulina have found not just work — but pride. [Sound_bite] Gulina, Station manager, Almaty flagship express: "My Kazakh friends can now buy Chinese products through YTO. It's great to help connect our two countries - I'm proud of what I do." [Voice_over] But YTO's Central Asia journey is just the first step toward a global express hub. [Sound_bite] Hu Ruiqi, GM of Central Asia Region, YTO International: "As we say: 'To get rich, build roads first.' Our Almaty 'Sky hub' project is the first step in our global strategy. Over the next decade, we plan to build seven major logistics hubs in the Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. We believe it's our mission to support Chinese enterprises going global by laying the infrastructure first. With strong logistics, businesses can go further, and grow stronger." [Voice_over] From faster deliveries to deeper partnerships, YTO is doing more than moving parcels. It's helping to build a more interconnected future — one delivery at a time.
