"The robust growth of China's booming cross-border e-commerce has posed challenges to customs supervision," Ni said on Tuesday.

To meet the new challenges, Chinese customs used the artificial intelligence technologies to help ease the clearance procedures. "In the next step, we will strengthen the supervision and improve the services," Ni said.

為迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)，中國海關(guān)部門使用人工智能技術(shù)幫助通關(guān)。他說：“今后，我們將加強(qiáng)監(jiān)管，改進(jìn)服務(wù)?！?/p>
