Overseas companies take advantage of Hainan Free Trade Port to find ways to break the situation

China News Service, Chengmai, Hainan, October 31 (Wang Xiaobin, Chen Yingqing) Faced with the international trade environment and overseas compliance requirements, Chinese enterprises face multiple tests in the process of "going out". Some companies have found new space for business expansion by locating manufacturing bases, R&D centers or international headquarters in Chengmai, Hainan, and taking advantage of policies such as zero tariffs at the free trade port and free flow of cross-border funds.

At the 2026 China Chengmai International Economic and Trade Fair held on October 31, the relevant leaders of WeDoctor Group, Chengli Automobile, Sunwanda, and Rosewood Medical shared their respective overseas and globalization layout ideas.

In response to overseas trade barriers and the demand for localized production, Cheng Aluo, chairman of Chengli Automobile Group, said that the company is continuing to promote the integration of domestic and foreign trade and innovate parts export and overseas localized assembly models. Taking the advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port and Chengmai's positioning as an automobile export hub, Chengli Automobile has launched a special vehicle export project here.

Cheng Aluo said that Chengli Automobile plans to rely on Chengmai's opening platform to build "five centers" for foreign trade, product research and development, data transfer, overseas display, innovative finance and a special vehicle export assembly base, deepen the coordination of the industrial chain, and drive upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly settle in Chengmai and team up to go overseas.

Facing the global competition in the new energy industry, Sunwoda Electronics is extending its core advantages in the battery field to new energy application scenarios. At this negotiation meeting, Xinwangda related projects were officially signed and landed in Chengmai. The company positions Hainan as a global demonstration base and service carrier, and hopes to actively participate in the construction of clean energy islands here.

Talking about corporate planning, Sun Wei, senior vice president of Sunwoda Electronics Co., Ltd., said that the company plans to build a flagship comprehensive energy base in Hainan that integrates energy replenishment services and research and development, and use this as a fulcrum to build an island-wide service network. At the same time, it will also promote the electrification replacement of heavy trucks, the construction of charging and swapping networks and zero-carbon parks. Its cross-border capital operation center and energy overseas headquarters are also being accelerated.

In the field of traditional medical services, the primary medical system has long faced the problem of balancing residents, doctors, hospitals, and medical insurance funds. WeDoctor Group uses large AI models and a health manager system to explore new models in some areas to realize the total share of medical insurance funds and the retention of surplus, in an attempt to improve the efficiency of grassroots health management through technical means.

Based on this model, WeDoctor Group Chairman Liao Jieyuan revealed that the company has been authorized by the board of directors to announce that it will locate its international headquarters in Chengmai. The headquarters includes a health management university, a health service platform and a health product base, and plans to train 10,000 health managers annually within three years. Liao Jieyuan believes that Chengmai is the cradle of health management talents and the bridgehead for enterprises to face the international market. He hopes to promote services to a broader market through the implementation of the AI ​​health management system.

In view of the pain points faced by medical devices going overseas, such as the large differences in registration regulations in different countries and the complexity of cross-border cold chain traceability, Yun Wenting, President of Guangzhou Rosewood Medical Group, expressed her intention to cooperate in Chengmai at the meeting. She said that the company hopes to take advantage of the "one-stop service ecosystem for medical devices going overseas" that Chengmai is building to reduce the cost of importing raw and auxiliary materials, and use the free trade port channel to push compliant medical, aesthetic and health products to Southeast Asia, the Middle East and European markets.
