BEIJING, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn

China’s huge domestic market will create fresh opportunities for global companies exporting to the country and foreign travelers shopping in the country, business and media executives said on Sunday.

Expressing confidence in China’s increasing openness and its growing consumer demand, senior representatives of multinational corporations said that China is among their top export markets and will continue to serve as a major engine of growth in the years ahead.

They made the remarks on the sidelines of the eighth China International Import Expo at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai.

Eric Zheng, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, said that China’s move to further expand imports will highlight the opportunities for companies in the United States to participate in and contribute to the growing consumer market.

“We are all familiar with the big-ticket items, like soybeans, aircraft, big tech and pharmaceuticals, that anchor the US-China trade relationship. But alongside those are a range of specialty products that have long contributed to this partnership,” Zheng said.

These specialty products include Wisconsin ginseng, premium US pet foods and nutrition products, hay and alfalfa, and wines, each serving as a distinct and growing niche within China’s consumption landscape, he added.

Torsten Bielig, senior director of public affairs, sustainability and safety at Bayer China and Japan, called China’s effort to encourage exports to the country and shopping in the country a great move to increase consumption.

The recent implementation and expansion of China’s visa-free policy for many countries has brought in a large number of foreign tourists who can now experience the beauty of China firsthand, he said.

“They also have the opportunity to witness China’s rapid advances in modernization and digitalization, while enjoying high-quality products and services at affordable prices,” Bielig added.

During the CIIE, China Daily hosted the launch ceremony of the International Communication Initiative, themed “Big Market for All: Export to China” and “Shopping in China“, which was attended by Vice-Minister of Commerce Sheng Qiuping.

Liu Weiling, deputy editor-in-chief of China Daily, said the initiative aims to better showcase to the world the dynamism and vitality of the country’s vast market, encouraging all parties — especially foreign corporations — to expand cooperation driven by exports and consumption and elevate the level of collaboration.

China Daily will explore further and tell more vivid stories about foreign companies’ “export to China” experiences and international travelers’ “shopping in China” experiences, Liu said.

The media group plans to set up tailor-made English language websites and special social media accounts to convey relevant stories and messages abroad. A series of international exchange activities, including “Vision China”, will also be organized to serve as new bridges for dialogue and communication between China and other economies.

The Ministry of Commerce has launched activities, also themed “Big Market for All: Export to China” and “Shopping in China“, to motivate foreign businesses to increase their exports to China to seize the new opportunities offered by the huge Chinese market, as well as encourage foreigners to travel and consume more in the country.

According to data from the General Administration of Customs, China’s imports increased 1.4 percent year-on-year to 1.53 trillion yuan ($215 billion) in October alone, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth.

Chen Jianwei, a researcher at the University of International Business and Economics’ Academy of China Open Economy Studies in Beijing, said that China’s enhanced tax refund and consumption policies are stimulating spending by both domestic consumers and foreign visitors, driving stronger demand for imported goods and services.

Since April, China’s outbound tax refund policy has been continuously optimized. Data from the State Taxation Administration shows that since the implementation of relevant policies and measures, the number of people submitting outbound tax refunds has significantly increased, and so has the value of tax refunds.

From January to September, the number of overseas tourists who processed departure tax refunds increased 229.8 percent year-on-year, while the tax refund value grew 97.4 percent.

Chen, the researcher, noted that the measures are widening sales channels and improving brand exposure for foreign firms, strengthening their confidence and long-term growth outlook in the Chinese market.

Eager to seize more opportunities, Pernod Ricard, a French spirits and champagne company, will deepen its footprint in China by capitalizing on growing demand for whisky, vodka, gin and tequila, amid a global shift toward premium and experience-driven consumption.

Gilles Bogaert, executive vice-president for global markets at Pernod Ricard, said that China remains central to the group’s portfolio strategy, because of its scale, innovation capacity and increasingly sophisticated consumers.

“China continues to stand out as one of our largest and most dependable export markets, and it will remain a key driver of our long-term growth,” he said.

Also upbeat about the Chinese market, Tapestry Inc, a New York-based luxury goods group, said it will open more than 100 new stores in China within the next two to three years. This expansion will increase the company’s presence from 90 cities to over 100 cities, spanning top-tier markets to county-level markets.

Sandeep Seth, Tapestry’s chief growth officer and its international president, said the allure of further exporting to China, as well as shopping in China, aligns with the company’s expansion strategy in the country, underscoring China’s pivotal roles as a dynamic consumer market and an essential driver for global growth.

Such optimism mirrors China’s policy outlook for enhancing national market connectivity and unleashing the full potential of its huge domestic demand.

According to a communique issued on Oct 23 after the conclusion of the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the country should advance the development of a unified national market and ensure that the strength of its enormous market continues to increase.

Rochelle Beiersdorfer, a reporter at China Daily, said that for many foreign visitors, shopping in China goes beyond consumption. It is an immersive cultural encounter that blends tradition with modern innovation, from panda souvenirs and jade bracelets to cutting-edge tech that capture China’s creative energy, she added.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — British esports organisation Tundra Esports were crowned BLAST Slam IV champions on Sunday evening in Singapore’s Indoor Stadium, taking home $300,000 after overcoming Team Falcons 3-2 in the Grand Final. It was an intense affair going the full distance, with Falcons starting the series off in confident fashion before Tundra rallied a comeback to take the final two games. The 1 million US dollar event extended past the 5000 fans attending the event, with the broadcast reaching 50 territories in 15 official languages garnering more than 21.9 million views. 

BLAST Slam viewership continues to grow with the Singapore event overtaking the previous Slam III with fans consuming more than 6.7 million hours across the tournament. The Singaporean event also broke BLAST’s peak viewership record, with more than 289 thousand viewers.

With competition starting back in October, 12 hopeful teams kicked off their chances of qualifying to the Singapore Indoor Arena finals, with the six successful teams playing at BLAST’s first Dota arena show. It was a truly global competition with players from 19 nations battling in the Lion City. 

Four South East Asian competitors rose and fell over three days of action with Indonesian star Matthew “Whitemon” Filemon from Tundra Esports flying the banner for SEA in the Grand Final. It was also a homecoming of sorts for Tundra’s coach David ‘MoonMeander’ Tan who had previously lived in Singapore for 16 years. As for Tundra, it was a continuation fo their BLAST Slam streak, winning all three BLAST Slam events so far in 2025.

David “MoonMeander” Tan, the coach from Tundra Esports, said: “It feels amazing to come back to Singapore, the first thing I did was bike at 5am across Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay all by myself. It’s an insane feeling to play with this crowd. South East Asian crowds are always the best, my favourite crowd. Their energy is insane and their passion for the game is unmatched!”

BLAST Slam IV signalled the beginning of a Multi-year partnership between BLAST and Singapore Tourism board, with a further four arena events coming over the duration of the partnership, strengthening Singapore’s reputation as one of Asia’s leading esports and live entertainment destinations.

Dota action will return to the BLAST stage in December for the BLAST Slam V in Chengdu, China. Six more hopeful teams will travel to China to battle at the Wuliangye Culture & Sports Center from 5-7th December, with Tundra hoping to keep their BLAST streak alive.

SYDNEY, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ACEN Australia’s Stubbo Solar project has become the first solar generator supported by a Long-Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) to reach full commercial operation, marking a defining moment in New South Wales’ clean energy transition.

Developed ahead of the formal establishment of the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), Stubbo Solar bridged two policy eras and now stands as one of the largest solar projects ever built in Australia.

ACEN Australia marked the milestone for the AUS $760 million, 520 MWdc (400 MWac) project with an onsite ceremony on Friday, attended by New South Wales Minister for Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Heritage Penny Sharpe.

She was joined by Ayala Corporation President and CEO and ACEN Chairman Cezar “Bong” Consing, ACEN President and CEO Eric Francia, and ACEN Australia Executive Chairman Jose Maria Zabaleta, together with the ACEN Australia team, to celebrate this milestone last week.

“Stubbo Solar reinforces ACEN’s long-term commitment to Australia’s clean energy future. This milestone highlights how clear policy and strong partnerships can unlock large-scale renewable investments. It also reflects the dedication of our ACEN Australia team and partners whose collaboration and hard work turned this project into a powerful example of what’s possible in the energy transition,” said ACEN Australia Executive Chairman Jose Maria Zabaleta.

ACEN Australia Managing Director David Pollington said Stubbo’s story began several years ago, long before the policy frameworks now shaping Australia’s renewable energy landscape were in place.  “What started as a single-site concept has become one of the most significant renewable energy investments in regional New South Wales, built through partnership, persistence, and strategic adaptation,” Mr. Pollington said.

He added that as the market evolves, costs are rising, delivery conditions are changing rapidly, and market dynamics are shifting — pressures that reinforce the importance of partnership between government and industry to ensure policy settings remain responsive, effective, and investment-ready. ACEN Australia, he said, is proud to be part of this transition and looks forward to working closely with the New South Wales Government, partners, and stakeholders to deliver the next wave of clean, reliable, and affordable energy for the state.

Stubbo’s successful delivery was made possible through strong partnerships across the project ecosystem.

PCL Construction served as ACEN Australia’s engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, while Lumea, the commercial arm of Transgrid specializing in renewable energy grid connections and infrastructure services, partnered with ACEN Australia to deliver a safe and efficient connection to the New South Wales electricity network.

Stubbo Solar has also been designed with the provision for a 200 MW / 800 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), positioning the site to provide firming capacity and ensure reliable clean energy as the grid continues to decarbonize.

Stubbo Solar also recently became the first large-scale solar project certified for full circularity under the Circular PV Alliance framework, ensuring that all 930,000 solar panels will be reused or recycled at end of life — setting a new sustainability benchmark for the industry.

Driving regional growth and local partnerships

During construction, ACEN Australia invested nearly AUS $85 million into the NSW economy, including AUS $60 million in contracts, jobs, and procurement for businesses within the Mid-Western Regional Council area and surrounding local government areas.

The project also contributed AUS $3.2 million to First Nations businesses, and over AUS $400,000 to community initiatives through its voluntary Social Investment Program, supporting education, skills, and local well-being.

Located about 10 km north of Gulgong in central-west NSW, Stubbo Solar can generate enough clean electricity to power 185,000 Australian households.
