China’s biotech out-licensing deals rose from $7.519 billion in 2024 to $13.57 billion in 2025, but that is only the beginning, said Guo Xiumei of DIA and CanSino Biologics. Bringing drugs to overseas markets requires clinical trials, regulatory approval and lasting partnerships.

At a remote Australian mine reliant on diesel, Envision had to meet biosecurity rules and work with a local supplier on grid-forming technology while delivering wind turbines. Zhao Shasha, who leads international product project management, shared the challenges of the project.

Midea’s portable AC sales in Europe rose from around 40,000 units in 2023 to 200,000 in 2025, said Chen Shumin, an AI empowerment expert at Midea Group’s Meiyun Zhishu. He attributed the product’s appeal to practical local demand for cooling without costly, complex installation.

Tariffs, tax credits and patent disputes all shape the cost of doing business in the US. Fang Zheng, LONGi Green Energy’s Head of North America Strategy, drew on an Ohio solar project to illustrate the challenges of meeting delivery deadlines and managing supply chains.

PMI’s 2025 research found that 35% of CEOs struggle to turn strategy into action. Miranda Wang, PMI’s Regional Managing Director for China, said success depends on clear accountability, coordination and adapting as markets change. In the AI era, execution still matters most.

China’s strengths in green energy and batteries could complement Europe’s. Yet political mistrust and misconceptions about China are getting in the way of cooperation, said Xu Chengzhi, Global Chief Public Affairs Officer at Windey Energy, urging a more pragmatic approach.

Timo Blenk, CEO and partner of Agora Strategy Group, said Chinese companies entering Europe need more than local production facilities. They must build relationships with local businesses and research institutions to establish a lasting presence.

Getting onto a European supermarket shelf takes more than a low price. Dennis Günther, former purchasing manager at Lidl UK and strategic buyer at Germany’s EDEKA, says Chinese exporters need the right product, quality and logistics to win over retailers.

Regulatory hurdles can sink Chinese acquisitions in Europe. Venture capital investor Anthony Wang advised buyers to consult regulators before committing, consider joint ventures or minority stakes, and keep local managers who understand the business and its customers.

Daniel Albrecht, a board member of the German Chamber of Commerce in China, said Chinese companies must adapt to European markets rather than assume their domestic business model will work there. He welcomed the arrival of higher-quality Chinese products in the EU.

Karim Alwadi, co-founder of Beltway Group, said Chinese founders focused on the domestic market often underestimate geopolitics when expanding overseas. He stressed the need for local expertise, local talent and the willingness to empower overseas teams.

For Azerbaijan and other Middle Corridor countries, Chinese firms’ global expansion offers more than transit and imports, said Rza Aliyev of the Nizami Ganjavi International Center. Investment in manufacturing, processing and distribution could turn geography into jobs and growth

Adam Dunnett, secretary-general of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, said most European firms remain committed to China, but structural changes are squeezing firms on both sides, while Europe’s loss of 20,000–25,000 industrial jobs a month is hardening attitudes towards China.

Peng Gang said Chinese and EU companies have complementary strengths. He pointed to opportunities in new energy, AI, the digital economy and low-carbon development, arguing that differences should be resolved through dialogue rather than allowed to derail practical cooperation.
