(Ninth China International Import Expo) Report: The globalization of Chinese enterprises presents three major trends: new momentum, deep integration and strong resilience.

China News Service, Shanghai, November 7 (Reporter Jiang Yu) Deloitte China, China Business News, and Qin Shuo Moments released the "Across Mountains and Seas | 2026 Chinese Enterprise Globalization Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") at the 2026 International Import Expo Shanghai conference event on the 7th. The report stated that the current globalization of Chinese enterprises is showing three major trends: new momentum, deep integration and strong resilience.

The report points out that the international competitiveness of Chinese enterprises in fields such as advanced manufacturing, green energy and digital technology continues to increase. In the first half of 2026, the export volume of high-tech products reached 3.26 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 39%, becoming a key engine for China's export growth. At the same time, the large-scale penetration of artificial intelligence will accelerate the intelligent transformation of advanced manufacturing and technology fields, driving China's technology-intensive industrial products to go global.

In addition, the acceleration of global investment in artificial intelligence has pushed up electricity demand, further driving the development of energy storage, power equipment and energy management technology. China's new energy industry is expected to play a greater role in the energy transformation construction of overseas markets.

As the international economic and trade environment changes, trade defense measures increase, and localization requirements increase, the single-product export model faces more constraints. Overseas mergers and acquisitions, greenfield investment and local production have become the mainstream paths for companies to get closer to the target market and integrate into the local area. In addition to these mainstream paths, new model combinations are also emerging, and some companies participate in local ecological co-construction through technology licensing and cooperation. The global competitiveness of enterprises increasingly depends on whether they can form a replicable and localizable collaborative model.

The report stated that the global industrial foundation and regulatory environment are becoming increasingly differentiated, and the break in policy continuity in some regions has brought operational uncertainty. Chinese companies not only face more stringent investment access reviews, but their local operations also have to adapt to the increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive regulatory system of the host country. Resilient layout, risk control and compliance management have become the key to sustainable local operating capabilities.

Jin Lingyun, chief business growth officer of Deloitte China, said: "Unlike product globalization in 1.0 and production capacity globalization in 2.0, the globalization of Chinese enterprises has entered a new 3.0 stage - value chain globalization. The upgrade of industrial capabilities and a new round of artificial intelligence technology revolution are opening up a new window of opportunity for the globalization of Chinese enterprises. At this stage, the key to success in the globalization of Chinese enterprises lies in achieving three balances: the balance between long-term strategy and agile operations, the balance between safety compliance and business efficiency, and the balance between global management and local adaptation."

Yang Yudong, Editor-in-Chief of China Business News, said: "The global industrial chain is currently being restructured, and a series of issues such as geological risks, compliance barriers, localized governance, and cultural integration have become must-answer questions for global companies today. The globalization of Chinese companies is no longer a question of 'whether' or not' or 'whether it is feasible', but how to better carry out localized development in various parts of the world and how to better carry out sustainable economic and cultural exchanges locally."
