Editor’s Note: 

Over the past five years, China has steadily deepened its engagement with the world across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, technology, trade, and cultural exchange. As one of the country’s major economic engines and a key gateway to southern China, Guangdong Province occupies a pivotal position in this global outreach. What role does Guangdong play in promoting multilateral cooperation and exchange?

The mini-documentary series No Distance Too Far: From Shared Journeys to a Shared Future seeks to answer this question. Through stories of international medical collaboration, Guangdong enterprises expanding overseas, and vibrant cultural exchanges, the series illustrates how a shared human community comes together.

In this episode, we turn our focus to Guangdong enterprises going global.

From exporting products to building local supply chains, their overseas journey has evolved from trade to long-term partnership.

BYD, the electric vehicle brand founded in Shenzhen, Guangdong, announced to establish its European headquarters in Hungary in 2025; Midea Group plans to invest at least 50 million US dollars in Egypt by the beginning of 2026, aiming to build Egypt into its second-largest production center after China; Huawei has begun to design Data Center solution for Kazakhstan’s Rail operator KTZ and railway communication network TransTelecom since 2016.

BYD, Midea, HUAWEI, DJI, GAC…more and more Guangdong enterprises are crossing mountains and seas to put down roots around the world, growing together with local communities in a win-win partnership.
