Cross-Border E-Commerce Offers a New Platform for Sino-Foreign Economic and Trade Cooperation
Published
1 year agoon
ZHUHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 September 2025 – On September 27, the opening ceremony of the 2025 Cross-Border E-Commerce Annual Meeting (Zhuhai-Hengqin), themed “New Start, New Space, New Opportunities”, was held at the Zhuhai International Convention & Exhibition Center. The guests present shared insights into topics such as air logistics and cross-border supply chains, while further exploring new ideas, models, and opportunities for the development of cross-border e-commerce from the perspective of business practices.
At the Hengqin Cross-Border E-Commerce (Huafa) Innovation Industrial Park located in the northeastern part of Hengqin Island, more than 30 Chinese and international live streamers conducted store visits. As they moved between booths featuring beauty products, home goods, electronics, and other merchandise, they held up their phones to showcase these products to the online audience.
China is stepping up efforts to strengthen its infrastructure and logistics systems. Proactive measures have been adopted to accelerate the development of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones, eliminate the registration requirement for overseas warehouses operated by cross-border e-commerce exporters, and further simplify related customs clearance procedures. Driven by these favorable policies, cross-border e-commerce platforms, enterprises, and service providers have experienced rapid growth in business. In the first half of this year, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export volume reached approximately RMB 1.3 trillion, setting a new historical record.
Industry experts believe that the global cross-border e-commerce industry will usher in a new round of rapid expansion by seizing the opportunities presented by the internet and digital economy and riding the wave of China’s economic growth. As new markets and development spaces emerge in the field of cross-border e-commerce, China and other countries can leverage their complementary strengths to seize new opportunities, explore new forms of cooperation, and develop new business formats.
As of September 2025, the number of China’s “Silk Road E-commerce” partner countries had increased to 36. Since 2024, China has significantly promoted the diversification and systematic upgrading of overseas expansion models for Chinese private enterprises—including cross-border e-commerce—through measures such as signing memorandum of understanding (MoU) on e-commerce cooperation with other countries, assisting in hosting e-commerce exhibitions, and conducting overseas roadshows.
Russia is an important partner country in “Silk Road E-commerce” cooperation, and the industry has high expectations for the new development opportunities in cross-border e-commerce between the two countries. Chen Hailin, Director of the China Business Service Center for Wildberries, emphasized that there is huge potential for Chinese brands to enter the Russian market. At the end of 2024, the platform officially opened registration to Chinese sellers. In addition to establishing 5 branch centers and 4 incubation bases in China last year, the platform also plans to continue expanding its presence in the Chinese market in 2025.
Cross-border e-commerce has injected new momentum into economic and trade cooperation between China and Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries. Products from these countries, such as Chilean cherries, Mexican avocados and Brazilian nuts, have sold well in the Chinese market through e-commerce platforms.
Wang Ying, Executive Vice Dean of the Academy of China Open Economy Studies at the University of International Business and Economics, believes that the solid foundation for e-commerce development in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries, trade facilitation measures between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, as well as the new industrial chain integrating the manufacturing sector of the Chinese mainland, Macao’s service sector, and Portuguese-speaking markets, will greatly boost the cross-border e-commerce cooperation between both sides.
As the cross-border e-commerce industry ecosystem becomes increasingly mature, different players along the chain are beginning to offer more specialized services, help cross-border e-commerce enterprises expand overseas steadily and continuously broaden the space for economic and trade cooperation.
Logistics is vital to the efficient operation of cross-border e-commerce. Along the maritime extension of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), logistics hubs such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Logistics Park, the Airport International Smart Logistics Park, and the Gaolan Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone are functioning efficiently. Every day, 1.5 million parcels and goods worth over RMB 600 million are shipped to the world via the bridge. “Macao, Hengqin, and Zhuhai have formed an economic pattern of ‘gateway, hub and hinterland’. From Hengqin, it takes just 20 minutes to reach Macao International Airport, 30 minutes to Zhuhai Airport, 45 minutes to Hong Kong International Airport, and one hour to Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport. The area is well-connected by expressways, intercity rail, and high-speed rail under planning, making the five major ports of the Greater Bay Area easily accessible,” said Nie Xinping, Deputy Secretary of the Hengqin Working Committee of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, Director of the Hengqin Office of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Government, and Deputy Director of the Executive Committee of the Cooperation Zone.
According to Gong Weiguo, General Manager of China Southern Air Logistics Co., Ltd., the company has transported more than 700 million cross-border e-commerce parcels since 2022, with a total cargo volume of 590,000 tons and an average annual growth rate of 85%. In alignment with national strategies and the development of cross-border e-commerce, the company will focus on strengthening its transport capacity and operational capabilities in the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Central and West Asia, and other countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, to build a broader and more reliable “Silk Road in the Air”.
Zhuhai and Hengqin are becoming important forces in promoting the innovative development of cross-border e-commerce. Plans are underway to establish the China-Portuguese (Spanish) Speaking Countries Economic and Trade Service Center in Hengqin, which will help enterprises expand into overseas markets, with a particular focus on Portuguese-speaking countries.
“Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries represent a vast blue ocean market. For example, the bulk commodities and biotechnology industries in Brazil are highly complementary to the electronics and new energy vehicle sectors in the Chinese mainland,” said Wu Yanxiang, Deputy Head of the Interdepartmental Preparatory Working Group for the Center. “We adopt a government-led, market-oriented approach to addressing the pain points of industries such as cross-border e-commerce, high-end manufacturing, and digital economy and thus providing one-stop comprehensive solutions,” Wu added.
Looking ahead, Wu Zetong, Mayor of Zhuhai, said that the city will continue to fully support the development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. In order to promote the high-quality development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, the city will continuously explore new models, cultivate new brands and build new platforms. Further efforts will be made to empower new drivers for foreign trade and facilitate the innovative development of foreign trade.

International Lithium Association and Mercuria Energy Trading NG join Nigeria Mining Week 2026 ahead of its opening in Abuja on 12 October
Nigeria has the mineral endowment to play a growing role in global supply chains, including critical minerals
With less than a week to go, Nigeria Mining Week 2026 has added a global commodity trader and the world’s lithium trade association to its programme. Mercuria Energy Trading NG has signed as a Gold Sponsor, and the International Lithium Association (ILiA) has joined as a Supporting Association.
They join Nigeria’s mining leaders, investors and operators in Abuja from 12 to 14 October for three days on the questions that will define the sector’s next decade: who finances Nigerian projects, who buys their output, and how much of it is processed in Nigeria.
Now in its 11th edition, the event takes place at the Abuja Continental Hotel under the theme “Unlocking Investment and Growth through Partnerships”. More than 3,080 attendees and more than 90 sponsors and exhibitors are expected across seven strategic forums.
The decisions made on processing, financing and market access over the next few years will shape Nigerian mining for the decade ahead. Nigeria Mining Week puts the people making those decisions in the same room.
On the agenda
The programme follows six content pillars: exploration and geological data; financing and investment; industrialisation and processing; infrastructure and power; ESG, transparency and community development; and international and regional collaboration.
- 12 October: pre-conference and roundtables on geological data, financing for junior miners, compliance and enforcement, and power and infrastructure.
Available to conference attendees only.
- 13 October: conference and exhibition opening, the new Critical Minerals Forum, the Women in Extractive Industries Forum and technical workshops
- 14 October: Gold Day, sessions on steel and industrial minerals, the Deal Room and further technical workshops
The Deal Room is a curated space for one-on-one meetings between mining projects and financiers, off-takers and strategic partners. Projects seeking offtake or financing can apply to take part.
International Lithium Association joins as Supporting Association
ILiA, the global trade association for the lithium industry, will take part in the Critical Minerals Forum on 13 October. Astrid Karamira, EMEA Representative Director at ILiA, joins the panel “Building Reliable Pathways from Nigeria to Global Battery, Magnet & EV Markets”.
The session looks at what Nigerian projects must do to reach international battery markets: technical and quality standards, traceability and responsible sourcing, export readiness, and the step from exploration success to commercial operation.
“Global buyers are asking more of their suppliers on quality, traceability and responsible sourcing than ever before. Nigeria Mining Week is an opportunity to discuss openly what those expectations mean in practice, and how Nigerian projects can meet them.”
Mercuria Energy Trading NG signs as Gold Sponsor
Mercuria Energy Trading NG is the Nigerian subsidiary of Mercuria, one of the world’s leading independent energy and commodity groups. It brings a buyer and offtaker perspective to the programme.
For many Nigerian projects, a credible buyer is the gap between a promising deposit and a financed mine. Mercuria will contribute to discussions on commodity trading and offtake partnerships, critical minerals supply chains, and infrastructure and logistics.
“Nigeria has the mineral endowment to play a growing role in global supply chains, including critical minerals. We look forward to sharing how trading, offtake and logistics partnerships can help Nigerian projects reach global markets.”

US$10 Billion in Venture Capital Convenes to Meet Hong Kong Start-ups; Government, Business and Young Professionals Explore Opportunities in the New Economy |

| HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 October 2026 – The Global Youth Powerhouse Summit 2026, organised by Hong Kong Youth Professional Global Advocacy, was held on 5 October at the Conrad Hong Kong. Now in its third edition, the Summit coincides with the release of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development (2026–2030) and the latest Policy Address, which together set a clear blueprint for the city’s future. Anchored on these core themes and conducted entirely in English, the full-day programme focused on artificial intelligence, geopolitics, Hong Kong as an education hub, capital markets, life and health technology, and start-up financing. Government and business leaders, corporate representatives and young professionals were invited to examine Hong Kong’s strategic opportunities in the new economic landscape.
The Summit aims to connect young professionals with international resources, enabling participants to engage directly with industry leaders, grasp developments at the frontier of industry, and look ahead to the opportunities and challenges arising from artificial intelligence and Greater Bay Area integration. Previous editions have drawn a strong response. Across three editions, the Summit has attracted more than thousands of in-person participants and about 17,000 online participants from over 30 countries and regions, with social media reach exceeding 50 million. This year’s Summit was the largest yet, bringing together more than 600 young professionals, government and business leaders and corporate representatives. Participants from over 60 countries and regions joined online. More than 30 distinguished speakers and moderators were invited, including officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and representatives of leading local and international organisations such as Huawei, the Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Bullish and Endowus. In addition, consular representatives from up to 20 countries attended the Summit. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr John Lee, GBM, SBS, PDSM, PMSM, delivered a pre-recorded video speech, encouraging young professionals to seize the opportunities of the times and inject fresh momentum into Hong Kong’s high-quality development. He said: “For our young people, I firmly believe that your opportunities ahead outweigh the difficulties. The HKSAR Government will join hands with all sectors to build platforms for you to thrive in Hong Kong, in our country, and in the global arena.” The Deputy Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, delivered an opening keynote entitled “Opportunities for the Professional Development of Young People”, and stressed: “As the saying goes, ‘Change is the only constant’—or as our Cantopop classic famously put it, ‘變幻原是永恆’. Today, we no longer measure change in years or decades, but in months and days. For our young professionals, this fast-paced era unlocks unprecedented career horizons. By accelerating Greater Bay Area integration through our new GBA Task Force and empowering you to act as the ultimate ‘super-connectors’ and ‘super value-adders’ helping Mainland enterprises go global, we are turning rapid change into your greatest professional advantage.” Dr Kevin Lau, MH, Founding Convenor of Hong Kong Youth Professional Global Advocacy, said: “This is more than a high-level forum. It marks a milestone in the maturing of our network of young professionals. This afternoon, venture funds managing an estimated US$10 billion in assets gathered in the room — and what they are looking at is Hong Kong’s next generation. In life and health technology, our core belief is clear: artificial intelligence can assist imaging and diagnosis, but a physician’s care, and the warmth of a human hand, can never be replaced by technology.” Other distinguished guests included Mr Kevin Choi, JP, Permanent Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry; Professor Frederick Ma, GBS, JP, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council; Ms Bonnie Y Chan, JP, Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited; and Mr James Chau, President of the China-United States Exchange Foundation and World Health Organization Goodwill Ambassador for Sustainable Development Goals. Mr Bryan Che, Chief Strategy Officer of Huawei, and Ms Cindy Chow, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund, also attended in person to exchange views with young professionals. Panel discussions
Artificial intelligence: from first-time users to advanced users Mr Kevin Choi, JP mentioned: “Every major technology shift brings uncertainty. Our theme today from entry-level shock to AI-powered users building the next talent leader.” Ms Stephaine Chan said: “Every AI conversation ends in the same place, right? More investment, better people, better models and stronger policy.” Ms Ilaria Chan said: “These days, Al is so powerful that they can scan the Internet and social media and find vulnerable young people or old people. They can find it instantly and have a very sophisticated way to trick them and fraud them from scamming.” Mr Bryan Che: “One of the opportunities of Al is because the interface is much more natural for most people to interact with. On one sense, it’s a lot easier for everyone to get started.” Ms Cindy Chow said: “So I guess some of the most damaging thing is not allowing people to use or not, you know, really have the attitude to embrace all this new technology, what this new technology has to bring to you.” Geopolitics: the super-connector Mr James Chau said: “Against this backdrop, we often hear Hong Kong described as a super connector, typically framed in terms of trade volumes, capital markets and logistics but I think that these connections that we’re speaking of really only become very valuable and we understand and recognize the human bonds that pin these together.” Professor Frederick Ma , GBS, JP said: “We are part of China. And yet we are under one country 2 systems connected to the rest of the world. That is the power of Hong Kong.” Ms Ellana Lee said: “We made a very strategic decision when the times were tough to stay and remain in Hong Kong. I think that has and you know, we make these decisions not just out of a whim, but we are very calculative on why we need to stay. I have 8 cities across Asia Pacific. Hong Kong happens to be the hub for Asia Pacific. And there’s it boils down to four major reasons.” Ms IIaria Chan: “Simple of how tech is helping people, there is an organization, WHO care for children that was founded 20 years ago that helps orphans in developing China back then Vietnam, Thailand now in Africa, Middle East to find loving permanent homes. But their bottleneck is how they train social workers and governments on how to take care of orphan welfare. Now this year we’ve actually been launching an online product that is able to scale these bottlenecks, especially in areas that are underfunded. This is a great example of Al tech.” Education: Hong Kong as Asia’s education hub Mrs Jennifer Yu Cheng, JP said: “An education hub is more than a place with excellent institutions. It is a place that students and families choose, where young people flourish, and connects education with research, innovation, careers and a wider community.” Professor Charles Ng said: “With our national policy. And I think we should do better to support this great initiatives and thinking back actually 2023 and home government already in in the government policy in October, if I remember correctly to start to increase the local student quota from 20% to 40%.” Ms Jennifer Ma said: “As a consultant we need demand to meet supply and we are definitely seeing the demand for Hong Kong education at K12 level…….The advocacy for Hong Kong to be the gateway for China Resources and talents to leave China and go into international arenas. But at the same time, we also see a lot of international people interested in what’s happening in mainland, and therefore Hong Kong is a great gateway. So, with that global education, global education philosophy, that means they really appreciate Hong Kong trilingual education by cultural mindset.” Mr Dion CHEN, MH mentioned: “In 2026, a lot of DSS schools will work very hard to try to welcome and also promote welcome to Hong Kong and also promote Hong Kong’s education to the students in different countries.” Ms Maggie Chau said: “Maggie: I can see that all the universities are actually implementing AI in their curriculum. Talking about teacher education, the programs we offer, I mean, not just The Education University of Hong Kong, the programs we offer in all universities implement Al in the curriculum in a way that we draw attention to the use of Al is it has to be ethical.” Capital markets: AI listings, asset tokenisation and the new economy Ms Clara CHAN Ka Chai said: “We always say that from zero to 1 is the most challenging part. So, the patients in terms of having staying power is the core, but it has to go in hand with other qualities like being proactive, being professional.” Mr Michael Lau said: “I think it’s an interesting proposition to consider that these types of companies that are so capital. I would start looking beyond the current horizon of where we are to see where it could go next. And so I do think that there is a demand looking to that future where this idea of a tokenized capital market could be quite interesting.” Mr Samuel RHEE mentioned: “First of all, maybe we just take a step back and just try to understand all of the capital markets, not just equities.” Ms Bonnie Y Chan, JP said: “I want to point out one thing. I mean, we are operating a stock exchange and I think capital markets at the end of the day, the basic function is to match capital with opportunity. So what I’m very focused on is that I’m not just focused on technology or AI.” Ms Emily CHAN Tan said: “We are not just witnessing a cyclical recovery, but also some would call this the threshold of a capital markets renaissance.” Life and health technology: building a health-industry hub Professor Lo Yuk-lam, BBS said: “Building HK’s holistic wellness hub, this year marks a defining moment for HK. With the release of our first ever five year plan and their chief executive policy address just a few weeks ago, our city’s road map for healthcare and biotechnology knowledge has never been clearer or more ambitious.” Professor Anthony Wu Ting-yuk, GBS, JP said: “Every country every city is trying to recruit more talent and I think Hong Kong is an ideal position to attract talents.” Professor LI King-Chuen said: “Our education system will be individualized. And we will do the factual knowledge transfer through mostly self-directed learning. So we guide them, we build an AI system with prescribed information.” Dr Sarah SALVILLA said: “Prevention for sure in terms of how do we educate people to be much more proactive in their everyday lives, yes you know, kind of the lifestyle things.” Start-up pitching: connecting with capital Ms Elaine Yu said: “We have 15 startups and I think a group of students as well, very precocious students WHO are already thinking of ideas, real businesses with commercial viability at the cutting edge of science, research, healthcare and so forth. So, this should be a fun dynamic session.” Mr LU Chin Yung pointed out: “Hong Kong is great in a lot of rankings in the world and this is not given, this is hard earned by your parents, by some of you sitting here. But as a young founder in Hong Kong, if you come to Hong Kong, you get to enjoy all this very safe environment. You have efficiency and then you also have a very clean government. This one I can say for sure. Yeah. And and all this, it helps the the founders to focus on your business, focus on grow, growing instead of you have to deal with many, many things.” The Summit closed amid lively exchange. Hong Kong Youth Professional Global Advocacy said it will continue to build the Summit into a platform for dialogue between young professionals and leading figures in government and business, helping Hong Kong’s young talent seize the opportunities of the new economy.

Totals 786 Events in FY 2025–2026; Reinforcing Hong Kong’s Position as the “International Convention and Exhibition Hub”
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 October 2026 – The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (“HKCEC”) has reaffirmed its standing as the venue of choice for leading global and Chinese Mainland organisers. Throughout the financial year 2025–2026 (July 2025 to June 2026), the HKCEC hosted 786 events, including 128 exhibitions, 81 international and local conferences, and hundreds of corporate meetings, banquets and entertainment events. This year was highlighted by 25 new conferences and exhibitions, including several Hong Kong and Asian debuts, drawing an impressive total attendance of over 7.7 million.
Ms Monica Lee-Müller, Managing Director of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (“HML”), commented, “Leveraging Hong Kong’s unique advantage as a gateway between Chinese Mainland and the rest of the world, HML has exemplified Hong Kong’s role as a ‘Super Connector’ and ‘Super Value-Adder’ by strategically aligning our business development focus on four key sectors—Medical, Innovation and Technology, Finance, and Education, and secured some landmark debuts.

Looking forward, we will continue to provide a world-class platform that empowers Mainland enterprises to go global while attracting international investment, creating a powerful engine for Hong Kong’s long-term economic growth.”
Several landmark events made their debuts at the HKCEC during the year.

Following this resounding debut, the organisers have confirmed that the event will return to the HKCEC in 2027.
Highlighting Hong Kong’s position as an international health and medical innovation hub, multiple international medical conferences were held in the city and at the HKCEC for the first time this year. Among them, the 9th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery brought together leading experts and more than 3,000 global participants, underscoring Hong Kong’s professional standing in medical.
