The 6-day program, hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of China and Zhejiang Normal University, took participants through Yiwu, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Jinyun, and Yongkang — exploring China’s small commodity trade, digital commerce, culture, and manufacturing innovation.
During the study, the team learnt how China transformed its small-commodity markets into global trade hubs through innovation, e-commerce integration, efficient logistics, and strong policy support. They also observed how cultural industries have been commercialized to empower rural economies, how technology such as AR and data analytics enhance global trade, and how organized manufacturing clusters create jobs and competitiveness.
