Chinese Vice President Han Zheng rolled out the red carpet this week for Southeast Asian leaders attending the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning – a vibrant hub for cross-border collaboration. The high-energy meetings with representatives from Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam spotlighted growing economic synergy in the region.
💼 "Our cooperation is like a smartphone upgrade – faster, smarter, and with better connectivity," Han quipped during discussions focused on trade innovation and green energy solutions. The expo, hosted in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, showcased everything from AI-driven logistics to eco-friendly manufacturing tech.
🌱 Key talking points included:
– Digital economy partnerships resembling a "regional TikTok for trade"
– Sustainable infrastructure projects across Mekong River communities
– Streamlined customs procedures (because nobody likes border-crossing paperwork!)
With ASEAN being China's #1 trading partner since 2020, this expo proves collaboration isn’t just about deals – it’s about building a shared future. Next up? Watch for joint ventures in electric vehicles and cross-border e-commerce platforms!
