Beyond Borders, Together with FORLAND

FORLAND began its global journey in 2004, when it established its first KD plant in Vietnam. Over the past two decades, the company has continued to expand its international footprint.

Backed by global resources, FORLAND follows a dual-brand strategy focused on light and mini commercial vehicles. The company promotes green and smart innovation through “differentiated positioning and ecological extension,” creating an integrated overseas ecosystem that combines products, services, and financing to steadily advance its 2030 global goals.

The upcoming conference will further outline FORLAND’s international strategy and unveil its new energy roadmap and new vehicle lineup for global markets including the overseas edition of the G series and new VAN models. The company will also sign cooperation agreements with global dealers to build a sustainable and mutually beneficial business ecosystem.

In addition to business activities, international guests will also enjoy cultural experiences that showcase China’s innovation and heritage. Attendees will travel by high-speed rail to the venue, experiencing China’s infrastructure strength, and take part in an intangible cultural heritage paper-cutting workshop, highlighting the fusion of traditional art and modern industry.

From global strategy and intelligent manufacturing to international cooperation, the FORLAND Global Partners Conference 2026 will serve as a key platform for China’s commercial vehicle industry to share innovation, technology, and sustainable development with the world.

Green Gains: Unlocking Commercial Real Estate Value Through Sustainability

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 November 2025 – Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, today released its annual Green Gains: Unlocking Commercial Real Estate Value Through Sustainability report. This report aims to explore how sustainability influences operational performance, asset value, and investment decisions within the commercial real estate (CRE) sector within the Chinese mainland. It provides a comprehensive examination of key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) drivers, policy frameworks, market trends, and benchmarking tools such as GRESB, with the goal of equipping stakeholders with actionable insights for navigating a rapidly evolving sustainability landscape.

Market Demand for Sustainable Commercial Real Estate Buildings

In the context of commercial real estate, sustainability refers to the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles throughout the lifecycle of a building – from design and construction to operation and eventual redevelopment. It encompasses energy efficiency, resource conservation, occupant well-being, ethical governance, and resilience to climate risks.

Demand for sustainable commercial real estate on the Chinese mainland is steadily rising, driven by a convergence of regulatory, investor, and occupier pressures. Although the market is still maturing, sustainable assets are increasingly recognised as sources of long-term value, risk mitigation, and competitive differentiation.

Sustainability Factors Impacting Real Estate Performance

The integration of sustainability into CRE is no longer a niche or optional undertaking – it is a fundamental driver of asset performance. As ESG expectations from investors, regulators, and occupiers continue to evolve, sustainability factors are becoming decisive in shaping market competitiveness and long-term value creation. This is especially evident on the Chinese mainland, where national policies, urban planning priorities, and the rise of domestic green finance are accelerating the shift toward sustainable buildings.

While challenges remain – particularly around retrofit costs, data transparency, and regulatory inconsistencies – market leaders are overcoming these barriers through targeted strategies, PropTech solutions, and stakeholder engagement. Real estate stakeholders who embed ESG into their core operations and investment decisions will be best positioned to unlock longterm value, attract responsible capital, and remain resilient in an evolving market landscape.

Future Outlook

The landscape of sustainable real estate is evolving rapidly, driven by a convergence of regulatory mandates, investor demands, technological advancements, and climate commitments. A growing number of governments, cities, and corporations have pledged to achieve net-zero emissions, setting a new benchmark for the real estate industry. This shift is reshaping both new development and asset management strategies. AI, data analytics, and digital twins will play a transformative role in enabling smarter, faster, and more accurate sustainability decisions. Meanwhile, investors are increasingly using GRESB scores not only as benchmarks, but also as tools for risk pricing and capital allocation. This evolution will require market participants to adopt a more integrated, forward-looking approach to ESG management – where sustainability is embedded into strategy, culture, and financial planning.

Alton Wong, Head of Sustainability Advisory Services, Head of Advisory Services, Valuation and Advisory Services, Greater China, said, “Sustainability has become an inevitable trend in the development of the commercial real estate on the Chinese mainland. By integrating the concept of sustainability throughout the entire life cycle of commercial buildings, these projects can achieve coordinated development in the economic, social, and environmental spheres, unlocking vast potential for green returns. In future market competition, the commercial buildings that actively embrace sustainability and continuously innovate in green practices will stand out and become leaders and beneficiaries in the industry’s advancement.”

Shaun Brodie, Head of Research Content, Greater China, said, “Sustainability has brought a good number of opportunities to the commercial real estate sector. Projects that embrace sustainability can reduce operational costs and enhance energy utilisation efficiency, thereby expanding the profit margins. An increasing number of investors are taking sustainability as a crucial consideration factor in their investment decisions. Meanwhile, real estate enterprises that integrate ESG principles into their core operations and investment decisions can also establish a favourable corporate image, bolster their market competitiveness, and lay a solid foundation for their long-term and stable development.”

Thailand Suspends Cambodia Deal After Landmine Injures Troops

AFP – Thailand announced on Monday, 10 November, it was suspending the implementation of a peace agreement with neighbouring Cambodia after a landmine blast injured two Thai soldiers near the border.

The deal, overseen by US President Donald Trump, was meant to secure a lasting end to hostilities following border clashes in July that killed at least 43 people and displaced more than 300,000 civilians on both sides.

The Royal Thai Army said in a statement that the mine explosion in Sisaket province left one soldier with a severe leg injury, while pressure from the blast caused another to withstand chest pains.

Thai government spokesman Siripong Angkasakulkiat said that Bangkok will cease “the follow-up to the joint declaration”, meaning the accord with Cambodia inked in Kuala Lumpur in late October, months after the two sides had agreed a ceasefire.

The next steps planned as part of the agreement’s implementation included the release of 18 Cambodian soldiers detained in Thailand.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told a press conference that “we thought that the security threat had eased, but it has not actually decreased.”

Cambodian authorities did not immediately comment on the incident, but have in the past denied Thai accusations of planting new landmines along the border.

Cambodia’s defence ministry pledged in a statement on Monday an “unwavering commitment” to peace.

The Southeast Asian neighbours have a dispute over parts of their border dating back more than a century, but July’s fighting was sparked by Thailand’s claims that Cambodia planted landmines that wounded its troops.

Chinese-Style Green Wisdom: Global Gen Z Discovers Jinan’s Charm Through Culture and Innovation

BEIJING, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China Daily:

At the Quehua Ecological and Cultural Zone in Jinan Start-up Area for Growth Drivers Transformation, Shandong Province, French youth RIVOIRE Oceane Anna, along with her peers, tried her hand at paper-cutting, successfully crafting the Chinese characters for “nian nian you yu,” a traditional auspicious phrase symbolizing abundance and surplus.


“This was my first time trying paper-cutting. It’s amazing how traditional Chinese culture can be condensed into this single red paper-cut artwork,” said RIVOIRE Oceane Anna.

The cultural experience activity was part of the “Opportunity China: Global Gen Z Views on Jinan 2025″ event held from October 30 to November 1, during which over 200 participants, including youth representatives from France, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia and South Korea, alongside Chinese university students gathered in Jinan which is dubbed the Spring City.

They explored the city’s rapid development under the national strategy of ecological conservation and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin and immersed themselves in the city’s profound cultural heritage.

“The ‘Cooperation Opportunity List’ proposed by the Jinan Start-up Area precisely addresses corporate needs. It transforms trust-based partnerships into an open, transparent, and opportunity-filled invitation for collaboration,” said Singaporean youth Goh Rui Fan during the event. “This ‘bridge to the future’ connects Singapore’s expertise in park operations and green technology with Shandong’s vibrant innovation and vast market potential.”

The foreign youth delegation conducted an in-depth tour of the Start-up Area. At the Quehua ecological and cultural zone, they donned Song Dynasty-style Hanfu and learned willow weaving and paper-cutting from intangible cultural heritage inheritors.

Aboard an L4-level intelligent connected bus, they experienced a smooth 15-kilometer ride on open roads with no human intervention, showcasing Jinan’s advanced green transportation.

“It’s incredibly smooth. I hadn’t realized Jinan’s green transportation was already this advanced,” said Myradov Maksat from Turkmenistan.

Famous for its springs, Jinan presented its iconic Baotu Spring at a high-water level, recreating the picturesque scene of “clear springs flowing over stones,” which drew repeated admiration from the young delegates.

At Daming Lake, they listened to Shandong clapper ballads, experiencing this audible intangible heritage. Many tried playing the clappers and speaking the Shandong dialect, fully immersing themselves in the local culture.

“In Jinan, I see Chinese-style green wisdom,” said Indonesian youth Veldesen Yaputra.

“The flowing springs represent not just ecological balance but also cultural continuity. It turns out ‘sustainability’ isn’t just about technology, but a life attitude—flowing from the past to the future, constantly nourishing the world like the spring water,” said Veldesen Yaputra.
