广东是全国重点侨乡,近3000万海外粤籍侨胞足迹遍布全球160多个国家和地区。自近代起,侨批成为维系侨乡血脉与经济命脉的特殊通道,被视为基于乡谊与诚信的“民间信用证”。改革开放后,侨商回乡投资设厂,带来海外订单与国际市场信息。
第140届广交会正在广州举行,展厅内人流如织。香港中华出入口商会副秘书长李志峰此行既觅商机,也去与祖辈、父辈的老搭档叙旧。他的爷爷李欢出生在一个华侨家庭,1957年,30岁出头的李欢作为采购商推开了首届广交会的大门,没想到这一来就是三代人。从“有什么,卖什么”到“中国什么新,往外带什么”,李家三代人眼中的广交会,正是侨商跨越山海、托举广东外贸的生动缩影。
广东是全国重点侨乡,近3000万海外粤籍侨胞,足迹遍布全球160多个国家和地区。海内外乡亲跨越山海的纽带,自近代起就和广东外贸紧紧缠绕。
清初解除海禁后,大批广东人乘船从台山海口埠、澄海樟林古港、梅州松口镇等地出发,下南洋,赴金山。在金融邮政尚不完善的年代,海外侨胞托“水客”带回的侨批,成了维系侨乡血脉与经济命脉的特殊通道,也被视为基于乡谊与诚信的“民间信用证”。
这种重乡谊、守诚信的商业伦理,与广货的务实基因一脉相承。

百余年流转,侨商网络始终是广东外贸最独特的底气。改革开放之初,霍英东率先踏回故土布局南沙、建设中山温泉宾馆,曾宪梓回到梅州落地来料加工项目,他们带动大批侨商回乡投资设厂,带来海外订单、设备与国际市场信息;广交会创办后,侨商也是最早、最稳定的境外采购群体。
据广东省人大常委会2025年专题调研,目前,侨资企业占广东外资企业六成以上。侨资侨企为广东打下了“世界工厂”的最初根基。
如今,广东外贸的体量不断壮大。统计数据显示,今年前三季度,广东外贸进出口8.72万亿元(人民币,下同),同比增长24.5%,连续13个季度实现同比增长。
这其中,侨商、侨资的力量不可或缺。仅江门一地,今年前三季度,侨资企业进出口达569.4亿元,占全市外贸总值的36.1%。2023年以来,广东全省落地千万元以上涉侨项目250个、到位资金1250亿元。

数据背后,是一条从乡情到产业、从人脉到订单的转化链条。链条运转,靠的是机制与平台。近年来,随着外贸竞争日趋激烈,海外市场分化加剧,广东将侨商资源视作开拓多元化国际市场的宝贵富矿,创新打造了系列以侨促贸平台载体。
2025年,广东省侨办推动成立侨商“粤贸全球”联盟,吸引30个国家和地区的近60家机构加入,常态化举办侨务商经贸交流会活动。全省侨务系统大力实施侨助跨境电商高质量发展行动和“侨助千企万品出海行动”。
同时,广东全省与160多个国家(地区)2000余家侨团建立了联络机制,在重点国家设立31个驻境外经贸代表处,推动50个海外粤商会成立,并在海外设立广东商品展销中心和海外仓,以展促贸、争抢订单。

平台搭起来,订单随之而来。今年4月,东莞“侨助千企万品出海行动”专场活动上,来自20多个国家和地区的近300名侨商侨领齐聚,现场达成14项签约合作、采购意向金额21.4亿元。
今年7月,中山“侨链四海 贸畅五洲”侨界交流合作会上,多家企业与来自印尼、南非和乌克兰的企业签订总额超6100万元订单。
8月,深圳华人华侨产业交易会吸引305家企业参展,开幕首日就释放合作需求超1.5万条。近日举行的第25届澄海国际玩具礼品博览会上,40余位全球潮籍侨领组团回乡观展对接。
香港汕头社团总会主席高佩璇表示,侨社团将通过海外商贸网络和供应链资源,协助澄海玩具对接海外零售巨头与批发市场,以跨境电商方式减少中间仓储成本。
跨境电商、共享海外仓、市场采购贸易,近年来在广东加速落地,成为不少侨商主动拥抱的新模式。
扎根迪拜的阿联酋广东商会会长张钦伟,从小商品贸易起步,20多年来,陆续打造阿联酋中国批发城等实体展示平台,依托当地侨商会资源,集中展销广东家居、服饰、日用轻工产品。不同于传统中间商模式,他联动商会搭建本土化服务团队,为广东中小厂商提供海外展示仓、本地推广、清关售后一体化配套服务。
一头连着大湾区完备的产业链供应链,一头连接遍布全球的消费市场,不少粤籍侨商正从“带货人”“中间商”进化到“合伙人”“产业链共建者”。
暨南大学华侨华人研究院教授陈奕平在接受中新网记者采访时指出,从明清下南洋、侨批水客,到改革开放后的华商投资,再到今天的跨境电商,华商网络虽历经巨变,但以“缘”为纽带、以信用为基石、以互利为动力的桥梁作用始终未变。
乡音不改,商路绵长。随着 APEC领导人非正式会议在深圳举办,广东正迎来“家门口”的开放机遇。这条由千万侨胞共同铺就的跨洋纽带,将继续为广东外贸向“新”、向“优”、向“全球”注入不竭的“侨”动力。(完)
