I’ll describe the problem in English, since my Chinese is not good enough for this — 对不起！
Last year, Postcrossing launched the World Postcard Day, and we managed to talk and collaborate with quite a few postal services on it. I’d like to reach out to China Post, to let them know about this initiative and invite them to join as well… but I haven’t been able to find a useful email contact of someone there.
If any of our Chinese postcrossers could help me look at China Post website and find a good email contact there, I’d be super super grateful! It could be from a marketing person, or someone on the communications or philatelic departments — or even just a general email address I can try.
I am sorry to notice you that most likely.The China Post will ignore your offer.They usually do business like government to government.Not to person or NGO or something like that.The better way is to contact the Chinese embassy of Portugal.If they said they can help you.It will be work.@meiadeleite

Actually it’s almost impossible for us to contact the China Post Head Office. However, it’s much more easier to contact local offices, for some provinces or even cities. They also have some power on holding local activities or even doing postmarks. The big Shanghai meetup for every year is a good example.
So the situation may be very different depends on what kind of collaborate u r looking for.
Yes, what do you want to do, meiadeleite?
What collaborations did you get from postal services last year?
I need your idea, I may email to china postal office, but I can not guarantee they will feedback. But the more information we provide, the more chance they will reply me.
As a former Internet product marketinng manager, my working experience in China is that those gaint national capital compnay like China Post has low interests on doing those marketing activities. Actually they don’t need to consider anything like that to attract users in anytime cause they have enough money. The best way is that you can contact some local Post office like Shanghai China Post office. They ususally have some autinomous power, flexibility and higer motivation to held some interesting market activities. Or its better that some senior worker inside the China Post who is Postcrossing User as well can help you delievr your inititives.
Anything along these lines with the ultimate goal of celebrating postcards would be wonderful! We’re particularly interested in events that involve children and schools, so that we can encourage a next generation of postcard writers.
Just FYI it is possible to order customized postcards and stamps via China Post as a business. However, this might require the order placed to be significant enough to cover its processing cost: for instance, in order to print your own set of stamps, you’ll need to submit an order worth more than €2.367 (for 1000 copies of set of 10 stamps)
Both the Key Customer Center of China Post 中国邮政网上营业厅 (11185.cn) and China Post Postage Ticket Service Center 中国邮政邮资票品服务中心 - 大客户个性化邮票、纪念邮册、首日封制作 (cpistamp.com) accept these orders. However, I don’t know if they could read English emails so it might be better to contact them using Chinese. Let me know should you need a template for Chinese inquiry emails.
