ZHUHAI, China, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 27, the opening ceremony of the 2025 Cross-Border E-Commerce Annual Meeting (Zhuhai-Hengqin), themed "New Start, New Space, New Opportunities", was held at the Zhuhai International Convention & Exhibition Center. The event brought together over 800 guests, including representatives from cross-border e-commerce enterprises, experts, and scholars, to jointly explore new pathways for the high-quality development of cross-border e-commerce and the coordinated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

The Huafa Cross-Border E-Commerce Industrial Park and the Hengqin-Macao Cross-Border E-Commerce Industrial Park have been established in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. Besides being home to over a hundred e-commerce enterprises including Douyin, SHEIN, JD.com, and Kuaishou, it also boasts a cross-border e-commerce product selection center spanning more than 10,000 square meters.

In addition, the "China Cross-Border E-Commerce High-Quality Development Index" project was launched on the same day. This project will leverage the global data resources of Xinhua News Agency to provide digital decision-making tools for small and micro enterprises (SMEs) going global. More than ten organizations, including SHEIN, China Southern Airlines, SF Group, and Huafa Group, jointly unveiled the Global Cross-Border E-Commerce Trade and Economic Cooperation Innovation Development Initiative, aiming to promote the formation of an industry synergy and standard-setting cooperation mechanism.

Exploring New Opportunities in Cross-Border E-Commerce
