Hey tech fam! 🤖 This year's China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) wrapped up in vibrant Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, covering a whopping 160,000 m². The big headline? AI was the star of the show – spotlighting how smart tech is transforming everything we do.
Since its 2004 launch, CAEXPO has been the go-to hub for China & ASEAN to level up digital and green economies. At this edition, the upgraded China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement 3.0 took center stage, with three key drivers: digital trade, eco-friendly growth 🌱 and tighter supply chains. Imagine getting your favourite products faster and greener than ever before.
China's neighborhood strategy is all about "good neighborliness, security and prosperity" – think no drama, just mutual respect and win-win collabs. Amid global tensions, this approach pushes for regional peace and economic resilience, backed by high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
Numbers? For 16 straight years, China’s been ASEAN’s top trading partner, and in the first eight months of 2025, imports and exports zoomed to $694 billion ⚡. That’s a record-high that shows these ties are stronger than ever.
Whether you’re coding the next big AI app or championing sustainability, CAEXPO’s boost to AI, digital and green growth is a win for all of us. The future of tech and trade in Asia looks bright! 🎉
