And are they currently shipping packages at a price that is comparable to USPS? If USPS is subsidizing international shipping from China by keeping domestic shipping charges high, how are they competing with FedEx and UPS? (BTW I agree with the other responders - this was an excellent summary for those of us not in the US)

IMO, no, they are not members of UPU. USPS is cheaper for domestic packages & letters for regular time, but fastest ones are almost same price.

FedEx transports their overnight and priority international packages, so it makes sense that they’d be about the same price.
