Not consistent with the facts! The State Post Bureau denies the rumors of "cancellation of postal codes"

It is reported that the State Post Bureau pointed out in its explanation that on July 16, 2019, the Development Research Center of the State Post Bureau and the Spatiotemporal Big Data Innovation Center of Peking University jointly hosted a project seminar on the sub-topic "Ubiquitous Location Semantic Expression and Location Service Method" of the National Key R&D Program "Global Location Framework and Coding System". However, this expert seminar did not involve "cancellation of postal codes" and "abolishing postal codes" and other related content.

It is understood that the research and development of new postal codes began in May last year. A preliminary plan has been developed and opinions are being solicited from major express delivery companies. This project is based on the research results of the "Global Location Framework and Coding System" of Peking University's National Key R&D Program - the Global Location Unified Coding Model, innovating the coding rules of postal codes. Through the coupling of the existing six-digit postal code and the global location coding model, a unified location identification code that is globally unified, granular, and universal for humans and machines is formed, that is, a "new postal code."
