XIAMEN, China, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a news report by Hong Kong 
Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group Limited:

On September 8, the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade officially
opened at the Xiamen International Expo Center, and Xiamen once again entered the"
September 8 Time." Under the theme of "Expanding Two-Way Investment and Promoting
Global Development Together," more than 1,200 government official institutions, 
business groups and enterprises from 129 countries and regions, as well as 30 international
organizations, registered to participate. At this CIFIT, a number of "Hong Kong 
teams" from Hong Kong came to escort companies going global. Together, they formed
a "Hong Kong channel" leading to the world, hoping to play the dual roles of a "
super connector" and a "super value-added partner" to safeguard more mainland enterprises
in their journey of going global.

the World**

For Chen Feng, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Chinese General
Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, no matter how many times he has visited Xiamen,
this romantic and laid-back coastal city can always bring him a different kind of
surprise. This year, what caught his eye was the main venue of the China International
Fair for Investment and Trade—the Xiamen International Expo Center. "This Minnan-
style building looks magnificent and leaves a deep impression on people. I think
this will also lay a good foundation for the continued and high-quality hosting 
of CIFIT in the future." What surprised him even more was that the 200,000-square-
meter venue brought together a rich and diverse range of professional exhibition
areas from different countries and regions, while the division into the three major
thematic sections of "China Investment," "Invest in China," and "International Investment"
further highlighted the characteristics of this year’s CIFIT.

Since the opening of CIFIT, the booth of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce
in Hong Kong has remained crowded with visitors, receiving more than 100 consultations
per day. "In just 48 hours, we received more than 300 professional visitors, mainly
from mainland government departments, business associations and technology companies.
Some of them came to consult us about plans to list in Hong Kong, while others reached
preliminary cooperation plans with us. These results demonstrate the role CIFIT 
plays as an international link," Chen Feng said.

Since its establishment, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong has
always upheld the banner of "loving the country and Hong Kong," firmly promoted 
Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability, and facilitated economic and trade exchanges
and cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland. It is a "rainbow bridge" that
connects Hong Kong and the mainland most closely. Last year, the Chinese General
Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong established the Hong Kong Professional Listing 
and Going Global Service Alliance. As a core member of the "Mainland Enterprises
Going Global Special Task Force" specially proposed by the Hong Kong SAR Government
and Invest Hong Kong, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong not only
shared Hong Kong’s "secrets for going global" at CIFIT, but also led a number of
enterprises and organizations providing professional going-global services to participate
in the event, including Shanghai Fangda Law Firm, which provides legal services 
under both Chinese law and the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
of China, as well as cross-border legal services in international trade, cross-border
investment, finance and capital markets, energy and infrastructure, intellectual
property and data protection, civil and commercial litigation and arbitration. There
was also ICS Group, which has more than 10 years of service experience in offshore
jurisdictions and China and provides one-stop solutions for matters including offshore
company incorporation and maintenance, going-global compliance, fund establishment
and compliance, finance and taxation, listed company secretarial services and related
services.

"In recent years, more and more mainland enterprises have chosen Hong Kong as their
first stop for going global because Hong Kong has unique advantages and can provide
professional advice and a full range of services," Chen Feng explained. "This is
because Hong Kong has not only many well-known law and accounting firms, but also
numerous organizations engaged in intellectual property and related services. They
can all provide one-stop services and solutions for mainland enterprises developing
overseas. Simply put, choosing Hong Kong as the first choice for going global allows
you to understand and connect with the world at the lowest cost."

**Bringing Together Hong Kong Experience to Help Fujian Enterprises Go Global**

As Chen Feng said, amid the rapidly changing international situation and undercurrents
in overseas markets, going global presents both opportunities and crises, making
the "escort" of professional teams particularly important. U&I GROUP is exactly 
such a team. The group is committed to integrating business, legal, and financial
and tax services into efficient and convenient one-stop solutions, providing comprehensive
solutions that take into account the needs of both enterprises and entrepreneurs.

"Mainland enterprises ‘going out’ is by no means as simple as establishing a company
overseas. They need to complete a complete set of systematic work." Lai Xiaomin,
Partner of U&I GROUP, sat at the booth, with a brand display board behind her showcasing
the group’s 20 years of experience and confidence in deeply engaging in cross-border
services. "I would summarize U&I’s model as ‘mainland needs + Hong Kong professional
capabilities + global service network.’ First, we conduct preliminary diagnosis 
to clarify the company’s objectives for going global and its main risk points; then,
relying on Hong Kong’s mature resources in accounting, legal services and cross-
border licenses, we design an appropriate overseas investment structure for the 
enterprise and handle ODI filing, cross-border finance and taxation, and overseas
compliance matters; at the same time, we connect with global partner organizations
to provide full-process services covering overseas factory establishment, mergers
and acquisitions, financing, intellectual property protection and more."

Born in Zhangzhou, Fujian, Lai Xiaomin has worked and lived in Hong Kong for 17 
years. Today, she has brought her family back to Fujian and lives between the three
cities of "Fuzhou–Xiamen–Hong Kong," which is also related to the group’s development
strategy. "In 2023, we officially established our presence in Xiamen, also because
we recognized Xiamen’s business environment and its solid foundation for external
exchanges. We moved into the Maritime Silk Road Central Legal District, hoping to
bring Hong Kong’s mature cross-border service capabilities to Xiamen, stay close
to local Fujian enterprises, and move our services forward so that enterprises do
not have to travel to Hong Kong and can obtain international professional support
locally." In Lai Xiaomin’s view, many manufacturing, foreign trade and new energy
enterprises in Xiamen have the willingness to go global, but often have only a limited
understanding of overseas laws, taxation and cross-border rules and need professional
teams to help establish cross-border structures. "There was once a local manufacturing
enterprise in Xiamen that planned to expand into Southeast Asia. We assisted them
in using Hong Kong as a transit hub to complete overseas investment filing, tax 
planning and the establishment of an overseas entity, reducing compliance risks 
in cross-border investment and ultimately successfully establishing a production
base in Southeast Asia."

In addition, in response to the financing needs of Fujian enterprises in Hong Kong,
U&I GROUP also provides full-chain services such as structural planning and cross-
border compliance. At the same time, it summarizes its past service experience and
compiles it into manuals to share with some small and medium-sized enterprises free
of charge. Lai Xiaomin mentioned that in the future, they will continue to carry
out educational activities on basic knowledge of enterprises going global, so as
to better serve different enterprises. "There are many people from Fujian on our
team. Everyone carries a special sense of affection and is committed to accompanying
Fujian businesspeople on a steady path of going global," Lai Xiaomin said with emotion.
This year’s CIFIT has further strengthened her belief that Hong Kong and Xiamen 
will have greater room for exchanges and cooperation. "Many Hong Kong institutions
have brought overseas resources, financial capabilities and professional service
experience to Xiamen, while Xiamen enterprises have a solid industrial foundation.
The complementary advantages of the two sides are very obvious. Cooperation between
the two places should be mutually empowering: Xiamen provides Hong Kong institutions
with landing scenarios for entering the mainland market, while Hong Kong continues
to play its role as a ‘super connector,’ bringing global capital, rules and market
channels to Xiamen enterprises."

**Bringing Legal Services Forward to Make Cross-Border Business Worry-Free**

When Xiamen is mentioned, the first impression of most Hong Kong people is that 
it is a coastal tourist city. For Huang Yiwen, Vice President and Secretary General
of the OneConnect International Online Arbitration and Mediation Center, who now
lives in Hong Kong for work, she has also seen another side of Xiamen. At the crowded
CIFIT, merchants from all over the world gathered together to discuss cooperation
and seek development with an open attitude. At this investment event, going global
was undoubtedly one of the important topics. Most of the consultations received 
by Huang Yiwen revolved around dispute resolution in cross-border trade.

"Actually, let’s take a simple example. In the past, when European companies and
Chinese companies had disputes during cooperation, they needed to go to Europe or
China to file lawsuits, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. Now,
by using online methods, we can assist both parties in arbitration or mediation,
greatly reducing all these costs and significantly improving the efficiency of dispute
resolution."

In Huang Yiwen’s view, disputes arising between cross-border trade parties and multinational
enterprises are often caused by differences in laws, business transactions and even
cultures between the two places. OneConnect International Online Arbitration and
Mediation Center can provide the most suitable dispute resolution method for parties
facing different situations. For example, it provides comprehensive services including
secure online communication and document submission functions, online hearing arrangements,
electronic signatures, intelligent hearing transcription, and AI machine translation.
It can also conduct online meetings or hearings through a secure video conferencing
system. She mentioned a case: a Hong Kong company purchased a batch of rough gemstones
in Xinjiang, but a dispute arose due to quality and other issues. Considering the
long distance between Hong Kong and Xinjiang and the relatively small amount of 
money involved, they ultimately chose the OneConnect platform, and the case was 
settled through mediation within five days, with both parties being very satisfied.

As the first and only online dispute resolution platform in Hong Kong, China, approved
by the APEC Economic Committee, OneConnect’s APEC Online Dispute Resolution Service
Platform assists enterprises within APEC in resolving cross-border business-to-business
disputes. At the same time, OneConnect also provides enterprises going global with
a one-stop platform for services in areas such as legal and financial matters. According
to Huang Yiwen, some Xiamen enterprises engaged in foreign-related businesses such
as trade, shipping and commodities have used OneConnect’s platform to find overseas
partners or professional providers of legal and financial services. "Xiamen already
has many industries suitable for going global, such as foreign trade and shipping.
Our platform has already helped many Xiamen enterprises establish operations overseas
and safeguarded their journey of going global," Huang Yiwen said.

For enterprises going global, she also offered some suggestions: establish a procurement
list for overseas legal services in advance, prioritizing three types of services—
consultation with local legal experts, cross-border contract review, and localized
compliance review. In short, legal and professional services should be arranged 
in advance rather than considered only after a dispute occurs.

Although this was Huang Yiwen’s second time participating in CIFIT, she had already
directly experienced that the internationalization and professionalism of CIFIT 
had improved compared with before in this brand-new venue. "I saw many interesting
smart devices, as well as various functional robots. I sincerely hope that CIFIT
can become a very good platform for helping Chinese enterprises ‘go global,’ and
I also hope that we can connect with more foreign parties and create more sparks."
This time, in addition to the Nanputuo vegetarian pastries that she had been longing
for, she also brought back to Hong Kong her confidence in the coordinated development
of enterprises in Xiamen and Hong Kong. "Hong Kong plays the role of a super transit
hub, helping Xiamen enterprises with their international expansion and promoting
deeper integration between the two places."
