Logistics performance plays a key role in facilitating trade, optimizing supply chains and promoting economic growth. As two of the world's largest economies, China and the United States have made significant progress in their logistics sectors. Understanding the similarities and differences in logistics performance between these two countries can provide valuable insights for policy makers and industry practitioners.The purpose of this study is to compare the logistics performance of China and the United States and to identify the key factors that influence their performance. It first reviews the logistics sector, the logistics industry in China and the United States, and the LPI. A theoretical framework is then developed, focusing on six LPI indicators and four key factors that influence logistics performance: policies and regulations, infrastructure, market conditions, and information technology. The data related to the World Bank Logistics Performance Index and the four key factors are then combined with descriptive analysis to provide insight into the evolution of logistics performance and the factors influencing it in China and the United States.
