Trendy toys such as Labubu, blind boxes, figurines, and mecha models have become highly sought-after products familiar to many consumers. A significant portion of these items are manufactured by industrial companies based in Dongguan, Guangdong province. Originating from the Greater Bay Area, these popular products are not only bestsellers domestically but have also earned a global reputation for Chinese manufacturing.
On April 10th, a delegation of enterprise and institutional representatives from Sichuan traveled to Dongguan, known as China's capital of trendy toys, to participate in an industrial cooperation and exchange event focused on the trendy toy sector. The gathering led to the establishment of the Sichuan-Guangdong Innovative Development Alliance for the Trendy Toy Industry.
