Wuxi National Hi-tech District (WND), located in east China’s Jiangsu province, has become a magnet for foreign investment and a key hub for European enterprises. The district is now home to 170 European-invested enterprises from countries including Germany, France, Poland, the Netherlands, and Sweden, with total European investment reaching approximately 15 billion euros ($17.35 billion). 

A recent visit by People’s Daily offered a window into the thriving development of these enterprises and the drivers behind their successful cooperation with China.

“Twenty years ago, when senior executives and clients from our German headquarters came to China, the country’s auto industry was still in its early stages,” recalled Erich J. Koch, general manager of Gaudlitz Precision Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. (Gaudlitz Precision). 

“What drew us in was China’s enormous market potential. In 2004, our headquarters made a strategic decision to invest in China, establishing our very first overseas production base,” Koch said.

Since then, China’s auto industry has grown rapidly, with the number of vehicles on the road surging year after year,” Koch noted. “Our judgment was spot on. The decision to invest in China is absolutely the right one.” 

The transformation of China’s auto industry from big to strong has strengthened Gaudlitz Precision’s confidence in deepening its presence in the Chinese market. The company has seen consistent annual revenue growth of 5 to 15 percent, cementing its position as a leader in its niche segment.

WND’s ongoing efforts to enhance its business environment have also offered strong practical support and solutions to help enterprises expand with confidence.

Bucher Hydraulics (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Bucher Industries, chose to settle in Wuxi in 2018, drawn by China’s expansive market demand in construction machinery, automotive aftermarket, and materials handling.

“Some of the pro-business measures here are remarkably efficient. For example, updating business registration details can be done entirely online with just a passport photo. There’s no need for repeated trips, which saves a great deal of time and energy,” said Reinhold Frank Muehlon, an executive of Bucher Hydraulics.

Zhang Xiaojun, general manager of Hunting Energy Services (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of a UK-based technology firm, highlighted Wuxi’s robust legal and innovation environment. “Wuxi boasts a market-oriented and globally competitive business ecosystem underpinned by a sound legal framework. We feel our intellectual property is genuinely respected and protected here. That’s the fertile ground where innovation can truly flourish.”

French company TLD Group, a global leader in airport ground support equipment, established its Wuxi manufacturing base in 2008. Today, it serves as the company’s major manufacturing hub in the Asia-Pacific region. Chief operating officer Wu Jianqiang credited the district’s well-developed industrial ecosystem for the company’s success.

“China is the world’s largest manufacturing country, with the most complete industrial system globally. The Yangtze River Delta region, in particular, boasts one of the most comprehensive manufacturing landscapes in the world,” Wu said. 

Take a cargo loader, for instance, he explained. It contains thousands of components including the frame, cab, covers, and brackets, sourced from over 100 first-tier suppliers. All of them are located in China, and 95 percent are within a one-hour drive from Wuxi.

Today, WND features a complete industrial chain and a thriving innovation ecosystem, attracting an increasing number of multinational corporations to scale up their presence. Many are building flagship factories and headquarters here, accelerating the development of world-class industrial clusters.

In March 2023, Schneider Electric inaugurated its fifth research and development (R&D) center in China – located in Wuxi. Later that year in November, the company broke ground on a green smart industrial park in the city. Covering 68,000 square meters, the first phase is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.

“Wuxi is promoting industrial transformation through technological innovation, with a strategic focus on frontier sectors such as artificial intelligence and emerging industries,” said Hu Xiao, senior vice president of Schneider Electric. “It is striving to become a globally influential hub for high-tech innovation. This gives us great confidence in the future of our operations here.”

WND’s strategic industries – including the Internet of Things, integrated circuits, biomedicine, and intelligent equipment – have each surpassed 100 billion yuan ($13.93 billion) in output. Today, high-tech products account for over 80 percent of total industrial output among enterprises above the designated size.

Over the past three years, WND has rolled out a comprehensive suite of talent support policies benefiting 35 European enterprises and nearly 2,000 employees. It has also helped high-level professionals resolve personal and family-related concerns such as children’s education, enabling them to put down roots and focus on innovation. 

With its strong industrial foundation, dynamic innovation environment, and abundant talent resources, WND is rapidly emerging as a new engine of global high-tech development.

From humanoid robots to brain-computer interface devices and large AI models, a wave of cutting-edge technological innovations from Hangzhou, east China’s Zhejiang province, has been making headlines this year. Behind this surge in sci-tech breakthroughs lies a key driver: a robust, innovation-friendly business environment.

“Humanoid robots can replace nurses during ward rounds and monitor patients’ respiration and heart rate – all enabled by a chip embedded with the right algorithms,” said Wang Chao, CEO of Megaway Technology, a tech firm based in Hangzhou.

The company relocated to Hangzhou High-tech Zone (Binjiang) in 2023, settling in the local AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) Industrial Innovation Center. “The industrial chains prioritized by Binjiang district are closely aligned with our development strategy,” Wang explained.

Hangzhou Qianzhen Digital Technology is another company drawn to the district. “There are many leading AI companies here. The innovation center often invites corporate executives to share insights on industry trends and policy updates,” said Wang Jinping, founder of the company. “These AI firms also provide our company with abundant resources and potential clients.”

For a new industry to take root and flourish, it must rest on a solid foundation. According to Gao Chong, deputy head of Binjiang district, Hangzhou has been designated as a pilot zone for next-generation AI innovation and application. Binjiang, at the core of this initiative, began cultivating its digital economy as early as 2003. Today, the district’s high-end software and AI industrial chain contributes 40 percent of the city’s total revenue in this sector.

“Many organizations are reaching out to us for collaboration,” said Wang You, associate professor at Zhejiang University’s College of Control Science and Engineering and founder of tech firm Rotunbot. 

A video of police officers patrolling the streets with a large black, ball-shaped robot in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, recently went viral online. The amphibious robot, capable of coordinating movement with other units, was developed by Wang and his team at a robotics innovation base in Hangzhou’s Xihu district. The base, co-established with Zhejiang University’s College of Control Science and Engineering, houses 12 innovation workshops, most of which are led by university faculty.

“I enjoy walking around the base to see what others are tinkering with,” Wang said. “The laser radars used in our robot came from a bionic leg robotics lab just down the hall.”

Zooming out to the broader Xihu district, there are four innovation ecosystems centered on Zhejiang University. Each ecosystem revolves around academic institutions, with Xihu authorities actively promoting inter-cluster collaboration, enabling the sharing of resources and the amplification of innovation capacity.

Hangzhou has also built an extensive innovation platform matrix comprising one national laboratory, two national scientific research facilities, 33 national key laboratories, and seven provincial-level labs – together fostering a dynamic environment that supports technological research and commercialization.

RoboCT, a company based in the Future Science and Technology City in Yuhang district, Hangzhou, specializes in developing exoskeleton robots that help individuals with disabilities stand and walk again through rehabilitation.

In 2021, just as the company was preparing for mass production, it faced a major challenge: finding a new manufacturing space. Co-founder Zhang Jiyu reported the issue to the management committee of the Future Science and Technology City and the local neighborhood committee. The next day, a government representative arrived with a list of available factory locations – two full pages of options. Zhang was deeply impressed.

When Hangzhou hosted the 4th Asian Para Games in 2023, Zhang and his team saw an opportunity to showcase their products and submitted a request to exhibit at the Games Village. “We didn’t expect much. We just thought we’d give it a shot,” Zhang recalled. To their surprise, the application was approved.

“Our exoskeleton robots were successfully exhibited at the 4th Asian Para Games Village. After international athletes tried them and shared their experiences online, the products quickly went viral overseas,” Zhang said. Since then, the company has expanded into international markets, with exports now reaching over 30 countries and regions.

To provide responsive and targeted support, Hangzhou has rolled out a range of initiatives, including a “chain chief system” with dedicated task forces, tailored policies for key enterprises, and a “sci-tech envoy program” to help companies overcome technical challenges.

Built on a strong digital economy foundation, driven by a thriving innovation ecosystem, and supported by proactive public services, Hangzhou continues to improve its business environment, releasing new momentum for innovation and entrepreneurship.

From July 28 to 29 local time, China and the United States held a new round of economic and trade talks in Stockholm, Sweden. The two sides held candid, in-depth and constructive exchanges on China-U.S. economic and trade relations, macroeconomic policies, and other topics of mutual concern.

Both sides reviewed and acknowledged the consensus reached in Geneva and implementation of the framework established in London. Based on the consensus reached during the Stockholm talks, both sides will continue to push for extending the suspension of 24 percent of the U.S. reciprocal tariffs, along with China’s corresponding countermeasures, for an additional 90 days.

This round of talks played a positive role in consolidating consensus and deepening mutual trust, reinforcing confidence in the ability of both sides to resolve economic and trade disputes through equal dialogue and consultation.

China-U.S. economic and trade relations are extensive in scope and of great significance to the well-being of businesses and people in both countries. The positive signals sent from the Stockholm talks – particularly the decision to extend the suspension of 24 percent of the U.S. reciprocal tariffs, along with China’s corresponding countermeasures, for an additional 90 days – have been broadly welcomed.

The fewer the tariffs, the broader the space for cooperation. These pragmatic arrangements reflect the shared interests of both countries. They not only help build trust and facilitate the negotiation process, but also reaffirm the principle that resolving economic and trade disputes through dialogue and consultation is more efficient and less costly than confrontation.

This meeting continued the positive momentum generated by the China-U.S. economic and trade teams under the guidance of the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone conversation. The previous economic and trade talks in Geneva and London reached the Geneva consensus and London framework respectively, effectively helping to cool down and defuse bilateral economic and trade frictions. 

It is a shared expectation within both countries and among the international community that China and the U.S. should resolve economic and trade disputes through equal dialogue and consultation while adhering to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.

Through sustained communication and dialogue, both sides are developing a clearer understanding of each other’s concerns. Common ground is expanding, as is the willingness to narrow differences and explore further avenues for cooperation. 

During the Stockholm meeting, China expressed that a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. economic and trade relationship serves not only the development goals of both countries, but also contributes to global economic growth and stability. 

The U.S. side acknowledged that a stable China-U.S. economic and trade relationship is of great significance to the economies of both countries and the world at large. It expressed willingness to work with China to continue resolving economic and trade differences through the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism, deliver more substantive outcomes, and further stabilize China-U.S. economic and trade relations.

Since the new round of China-U.S. economic and trade frictions began, the U.S. side has consistently hyped the so-called “China rebalancing” rhetoric. While resolutely defending its own interests, China has consistently advocated an open, constructive approach to advancing bilateral cooperation through equal dialogue and consultation. As both economies continue to evolve, the nature of their economic and trade relationship must also adapt. The crucial question is: in which direction?

Will the two countries steer the relationship toward achieving greater mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, or allow it to spiral into confrontation and mutual harm? The answer should be self-evident. What’s required now is the wisdom and courage to seize opportunities.

China and the U.S. share broad common interests and enjoy vast potential for economic and trade cooperation. China’s pursuit of high-quality development and high-level opening up continues to create opportunities for mutually beneficial China-U.S. cooperation. 

Take manufacturing, for example. With its comprehensive industrial support systems, mature ecosystems, and strong growth momentum, China remains an attractive destination for American companies seeking to leverage the strengths of both economies and enhance their global competitiveness. 

In the consumer sector, China is prioritizing the expansion of domestic demand as a strategic focus and has adopted multiple measures to boost imports, benefiting American exporters. China welcomes efforts by companies from both sides to explore complementary advantages and achieve mutual benefit based on market demand. 

If the U.S. side values expanding exports to China, it should match its words with actions by removing unwarranted restrictions on bilateral business exchanges and creating a more enabling environment for cooperation.

Words must be backed by deeds. The journey of China-U.S. economic and trade talks has come this far, and the path ahead requires continued commitment and coordination. 

Both sides should continue to fully leverage the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism in accordance with the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone conversation. By building on existing achievements, enhancing mutual understanding, strengthening cooperation, and deepening dialogue and consultation, China and the U.S. can work together to deliver more win-win outcomes, injecting more positive energy into the stable development of both countries and the global economy.

Located in southern Germany, Bavaria is the country’s largest federal state in terms of area and one of its most economically developed regions. Over the past several decades, Bavaria has achieved remarkable progress in economic and trade cooperation with China.

China is Bavaria’s largest trading partner worldwide and one of its most important overseas markets. It has ranked as the state’s top Asian investor for consecutive years, with approximately 500 Chinese companies now operating in Bavaria. Meanwhile, more than 2,000 Bavarian enterprises maintain business relations with China.

Bavaria is home to the headquarters of many German multinational corporations and a major center for the automotive, electronics, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries in Germany and Europe at large.

In January 1975, Franz Josef Strauss, then chairman of the Christian Social Union of Germany and former Bavarian Minister-President, visited China at invitation. He made several subsequent visits to China, laying crucial groundwork for exchanges and cooperation between Bavaria and China across political, economic, and social spheres.

“Strauss’ visit 50 years ago was truly groundbreaking. He recognized China’s potential and future importance, establishing the foundation for the sustained development of Bavaria-China relations,” said Bavarian Minister-President Markus Soder.

“Looking back at history, the most important lesson is that differences in systems, ideologies, and levels of economic and social development are not grounds to reject cooperation,” remarked Qiu Xuejun, consul-general of China in Munich. 

Since Strauss’ first visit to China in 1975, China and Bavaria have maintained close exchanges based on mutual benefit, win-win cooperation, and strong people-to-people connections. Their collaboration has yielded fruitful outcomes, serving as a model and a pillar of China-Germany relations.

On the eastern outskirts of Munich in Parsdorf, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility gleams in the sunlight. Its clean, bright offices and expansive rooftop solar photovoltaic panels make it a showcase for modern industry. This is the new headquarters of the KraussMaffei Group, a 187-year-old manufacturer of plastic and rubber machinery employing approximately 5,000 people worldwide.

“Our new headquarters addresses the limitations of space and aging equipment at our former site. Intelligent scheduling, unmanned logistics, and energy-efficient building systems have significantly improved production efficiency while reducing carbon emissions by 62 percent and waste by 85 percent, setting a benchmark for the green industry,” said Zhang Chi, CEO of KraussMaffei Group.

In 2016, China National Chemical Corporation (ChemChina) acquired KraussMaffei. According to reports, since the acquisition, the company has undergone extensive structural transformations, from strategic planning to research and development (R&D) investment, from production line upgrades to global market expansion. Particularly notable progress has been made in green manufacturing, digital operations, and additive manufacturing.

Zhang noted that ChemChina’s support in clarifying development strategies, increasing R&D investment, upgrading production facilities, advancing technologies and expanding markets has accelerated KraussMaffei’s transformation and development. These initiatives have not only promoted corporate growth but also generated tangible benefits for local economic and social development, including increased investment, job security, technology enhancement, market diversification, and tax revenue.

Bavaria serves as both an important industrial manufacturing base in Europe and a frontier for China-Germany practical cooperation. In recent years, an increasing number of Chinese companies have established a presence in Bavaria in emerging industries such as smart manufacturing, green mobility, and new energy. Meanwhile, German companies are leveraging the scale and technological momentum of the Chinese market to upgrade and globalize their operations.

Recently, China’s NIO, a leading global smart electric vehicle (EV) company, officially opened its 20th battery-swapping station in Germany, five of which are located in Bavaria. This innovative green mobility model has drawn considerable interest from Bavarian policymakers and businesses. As one of the earliest Chinese EV companies to enter Bavaria, NIO established its global design center in Munich in 2015 and now employs more than 350 people there.

“Over the past five years, direct investment from Chinese companies in Bavaria has continued to increase. Around 500 Chinese companies currently operate here, covering multiple sectors including mobility, digitalization, energy, life sciences, and new materials,” said Ulrike Hoffmann, director of invest in Bavaria. 

Chinese companies value the high-quality workforce, robust network of small and medium-sized enterprises, and excellent transport and business environment here, making Bavaria a hotspot for Chinese companies seeking to expand globally, Hoffmann explained.

Bavaria also maintains sister-state or sister-province relationships with three Chinese provinces – Shandong, Guangdong, and Sichuan – more than any other German federal state. These partnerships have fostered cooperation in science and technology, education, environmental protection, culture, and other fields. 

Hoffmann stated, “Bavaria hosts annual business dialogues with China to provide platforms for communication between enterprises and governments. We look forward to welcoming more Chinese partners to invest in Bavaria.”

Under the midsummer sun, late-season rice shimmers in paddies at Fuxi Farm in Xinlin village, Fanchang district, Wuhu, east China’s Anhui province. Agricultural robots methodically traverse fields, monitoring crop conditions while embedded sensors collect real-time data on soil moisture, weather conditions, and pest prevalence – all transmitted to the farm’s central command hub.

“This facility functions as the brain of the entire farm,” explained Hou Guangyu, a Gen-Z agricultural manager, remotely operating robots via tablet. “Integrated smart systems allow comprehensive field management from the office.”

China’s agricultural landscape is undergoing a technological transformation as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and low-altitude aerial systems expand their operational footprint.

Fuxi Farm is one of the smart agriculture pilot projects launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Its successful model has now been replicated across Inner Mongolia, Chongqing, Anhui, and Hubei, moving steadily toward commercialization and large-scale application.

“Conventional farming involves significant unpredictability. Yet big data enables simulation and predicts analysis for every step – from planting schedules to irrigation protocols and pest control – so we can choose the best approach,” said Zhang Yucheng, a senior engineer at the CAS Institute of Computing Technology. 

At Fuxi Farm, tailored models and algorithms for moisture regulation, weather adaptation, and pest forecasting are being developed and refined to enhance precision agriculture, supporting both yield stability and productivity gains.

According to an official with China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, smart farming systems are being deployed across crop cultivation, livestock breeding, and aquaculture sectors. These integrated platforms enable intelligent sensing, resource decision-making, and process control, significantly elevating labor productivity, resource utilization efficiency, and per-unit land output.

Illustrating this trend, an autonomous inspection robot developed by Muyuan Foods Co., Ltd. serves as a digital veterinarian at a smart livestock farm in Dahualing village, Neixiang county, central China’s Henan province. Equipped with multiple sensors, it continuously monitors animal biometrics and alerts technicians to abnormalities.

 “Infrared thermography and smart thermometers detect abnormal temperature fluctuations,” explained Hu Yiyong, head of intelligent diagnostics at the company.

Meanwhile, in Laizhou, east China’s Shandong province, industrial aquaculture facilities are using intelligent feeding systems that factor in fish behavior and growth patterns to deliver precise amounts of food. “The system learns from observational data to refine behavioral modeling and algorithmic precision,” said Li Wensheng, deputy general manager of a local aquaculture company.

In October 2024, China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released a national smart agriculture action plan for the period of 2024-2028. According to the plan, by the end of 2026, public service capacity for smart agriculture should be initially established, with over 30 percent of agricultural production processes becoming information-driven. By the end of 2028, informatization coverage is expected to exceed 32 percent, with smart technologies becoming primary drivers of cost reduction and yield enhancement for key crops and livestock.

“Effective drought response or pest containment demands both speed and precision, which requires complex backend systems,” said Ren Ni, head of the Institute of Agricultural Information at the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences. She identified validated data streams, robust algorithmic frameworks, and resilient equipment as foundational elements of functional smart agriculture.

China has established 34 national-level smart agriculture innovation centers and sub-centers, and 35 agricultural information technology laboratories, achieving breakthroughs in high-throughput crop phenotyping, on-site soil analysis, and large-scale robotic platforms.

Nevertheless, experts also acknowledge the challenges of large-scale deployment. The country’s diverse geography, climate zones, and crop-livestock heterogeneity complicate standardized algorithm development and equipment design, requiring integrated systems that balance scalability with cost efficiency.

While developed countries enable single operators to manage over 5,000 mu of farmland (approximately 333.33 hectares) through advanced agricultural technology, China’s smart farm initiatives aim for operational capacities exceeding 10,000 mu per manager, aligning productivity benchmarks with global competitiveness.
