SHENZHEN -- At a cold chain storage facility in Yantian, home to one of the main ports serving the southern city of Shenzhen, an autonomous forklift enters a room where the temperature is minus 30 C. The machine raises boxes of frozen shrimp from Ecuador onto shelves that stand about 2 meters tall, alongside frozen pork from the U.S. and chicken legs from Brazil.
