Photo by Yao Ping (Zhongjing Vision) From May 19 to 21, 2026, the Jiangxi-Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Economic and Trade Week was held in Guangdong. This marks Jiangxi's 24th economic and trade event held in the Greater Bay Area and the first major cross-regional economic and trade activity of Jiangxi in the initial year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." The event resulted in the signing of 60 projects with a total contract value exceeding 26.9 billion yuan, serving as a significant initiative for Jiangxi to deeply integrate into the Greater Bay Area and promote high-level openness. Jiangxi and the Greater Bay Area share geographical proximity, cultural affinity, and strong commercial ties, leading to close exchanges and cooperation. Guangdong is the primary source of external project funding for Jiangxi, with Hong Kong capital accounting for over 75% of Jiangxi's total foreign investment. 54 Jiangxi enterprises are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, while 24 are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Since 2025, Jiangxi enterprises have issued 50 credit bonds on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, raising 20.05 billion yuan... During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Jiangxi will further strengthen its collaborative relationship with the Greater Bay Area, continuously unleashing the benefits of regional cooperation.
Industrial Cluster Development The electronic information industry is a foundational, strategic, and pioneering sector in Jiangxi, as well as its first "trillion-yuan industry." In recent years, Jiangxi has consistently promoted the integration of its advantageous electronic information-related industries with the Greater Bay Area. Currently, over half of the electronic specialty materials and production equipment purchased by Jiangxi from outside the province come from Guangdong. Based on the dual leading industries of electronic information and new materials, Longnan City adheres to the development philosophy of "R&D in Shenzhen, manufacturing in Longnan," innovatively creating a new model of "two-way enclave" scientific and technological collaboration. This model promotes the transformation and implementation of Shenzhen's scientific research achievements in Longnan while supporting Longnan enterprises in establishing "innovation enclaves" in Shenzhen, achieving deep integration of innovation and industrial chains. Zhujing Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has established a structure with R&D at its Shenzhen headquarters and production at its Longnan base, deploying China's first full-chain lithium battery binder production line in Longnan. "Shenzhen headquarters focuses on R&D, while the Longnan factory handles mass production. This is not a simple relocation but a deep handshake of complementary advantages between the two regions," said Yin Yong, General Manager of Zhujing Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. Beyond the electronic information industry, emerging sectors such as low-altitude economy, embodied intelligence, and additive manufacturing—representing future directions—are becoming new focal points for industrial cooperation between Jiangxi and Guangdong. During the Economic and Trade Week, Yin Hong, Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, stated during his visit to Guangdong that he hopes enterprises will accelerate the construction of regional centers and production bases in Jiangxi, empower the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing, attract more upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to invest in Jiangxi, and contribute to the development of embodied intelligence and industrial robotics industries in Jiangxi. A robotic arm precisely installs high-torque servo actuators into the knee joints of a robot, while engineers simultaneously debug bipedal gait balance via a teaching pendant—this is a direct manifestation of Ubtech's whole-body coordination algorithm on the production line. Earlier this year, Jiangxi's first humanoid robot production line was completed at the Ubtech Artificial Intelligence Industrial Park in Jiujiang. Invested and constructed by Shenzhen Ubtech Technology Co., Ltd. with a total investment of 6.5 billion yuan and covering approximately 50 acres, this industrial park aims to build a themed park centered on robotics, with a full-capacity annual production of about 10,000 robots. "Jiangxi has a solid foundation in supporting industries and abundant resources. After full operation, the industrial park is expected to produce tens of thousands of various robots annually," said Zhou Tao, head of the industrial park. The park also plans product lines for service and special robots, covering models for elderly companionship, power inspection, and more. The Jiujiang project is gradually forming a closed-loop ecosystem for AI robotics encompassing R&D, manufacturing, and application. This year, at the Jiangxi-Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Strategic Emerging Industries Cooperation Exchange, Yin Hong expressed hope that enterprises would leverage their main business advantages, focus on upgrading traditional industries, expanding emerging industries, and cultivating future industries in Jiangxi, further identify niche segments, increase investment and layout efforts, develop new quality productive forces according to local conditions, create new economic growth points, and jointly build a modern industrial system.
Economic and Trade Synergy Cooperation Recently, A Home Furniture, a brand under Yangchen Wood Industry (Furniture) Group headquartered in Guangdong, successfully exported furniture for the first time via rail transport from Ganzhou International Inland Port to Shekou Port, where it was cleared. To ensure the smooth export of the first container, Ganzhou International Inland Port proactively provided end-to-end follow-up services, coordinated with Ganzhou Customs to expedite the verification of export furniture category documents, collaborated with railway departments to efficiently align freight export plans, and urgently scheduled train capacity to fully guarantee the timely and efficient dispatch of freight trains. The Gan River and Victoria Harbor shine together, as the Greater Bay Area and the old revolutionary base areas resonate in harmony. "Ganzhou International Inland Port cooperates with Shenzhen's Yantian Port to operate the 'Gan-Shen Combined Port,' pioneering a new customs clearance model of 'cross-province, cross-customs zones, and cross-land-sea ports' nationwide. It has also launched the 'Gan-Guang Combined Port' with Guangzhou Port, with regular 'three-synchronization' rail-sea intermodal trains to the Greater Bay Area exceeding 9,000 trips, making it one of the main sources of rail-sea intermodal container volume for Yantian Port and Guangzhou Port," introduced Zou Zhiyu, Vice Mayor of Ganzhou. Ganzhou has also launched the "Rongwan" express intercity freight train to Shenzhen, reducing the average transit time from 12 hours to 6 hours. Leveraging its geographical advantages, Jiangxi actively assists local enterprises in expanding into global markets, transitioning from the initial stage of product export to a new pattern of brand export, service export, and cluster export. On May 20, 2026, the Jiangxi Cross-border E-commerce Development Exchange, along with the "Cross-border E-commerce + Industrial Belt"对接交流 and comprehensive bonded zone promotion event, was held in Shenzhen to further deepen cross-border e-commerce industry cooperation between Jiangxi and the Greater Bay Area and support Jiangxi's industrial belt enterprises in expanding overseas. Chen Changsheng, Deputy Director of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Commerce, introduced that Jiangxi has a comprehensive range of industrial sectors, having formed two trillion-yuan industries (electronic information and non-ferrous metals) and 12 hundred-billion-yuan industries. It boasts 18 national foreign trade transformation and upgrading bases, including Jingdezhen ceramics, Xinyu lithium batteries, and Yingtan eyeglasses, and has cultivated 9 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones, 5 comprehensive bonded zones, and 31 cross-border e-commerce industrial parks. This "cross-border e-commerce + industrial belt" model is becoming a new growth driver for Jiangxi's foreign trade. Through cross-border e-commerce platforms, Jiangxi's specialty products—whether Jingdezhen ceramics, Nankang furniture, Ji'an pomelos, or Gannan navel oranges—can directly reach overseas consumers via the Greater Bay Area, shortening trade chains and increasing profit margins. For enterprises going global, the government serves as a strong backing. Jiangxi focuses on two dimensions—policy empowerment and platform building—to safeguard foreign trade enterprises. From key domestic and international exhibitions like the Canton Fair to cultivating new cross-border e-commerce formats and building overseas comprehensive service systems, Jiangxi is constructing a comprehensive support system for "Bay Area-integrated" enterprises expanding overseas. As Yin Hong stated at the symposium for key Jiangxi foreign trade enterprises entering the Greater Bay Area: "Enterprises venture into markets, while the Party committee and government provide backing. The provincial Party committee and government will sincerely help enterprises solve problems, strengthen policy empowerment, build service platforms, create a first-class foreign trade development environment, and create conditions to fully support the development of foreign trade enterprises."
Exchanges Enhance Well-being Geographical proximity and cultural affinity are natural advantages for Jiangxi-Guangdong cooperation. With the opening of transportation arteries like the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway, the temporal and spatial distance between Jiangxi and the Greater Bay Area continues to shrink, accelerating the formation of weekend tourism circles and even daily commuting circles. The Lianping·Heping·Longnan Peach Blossom Cultural Tourism Month launched in February this year is a vivid example of Jiangxi-Guangdong cultural and tourism collaboration. The three regions broke administrative barriers, linking Lianping's peach blossoms and Heping's hot springs in Guangdong with Longnan's fortified villages in Jiangxi to form a cross-provincial golden tourism belt. "In the past, each region held its own festivals, and tourists would turn back at the boundaries. This year, we proactively broke down barriers, allowing tourists to truly feel that beyond Lianping, there is still scenery, and in Jiangxi, they are still guests," said Xie Xiaomeng, Director of the Lianping County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Sports, and Tourism. Cai Shihai, Director of the Longnan Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism, explained that through tripartite联动, cultural and tourism resources are jointly discussed, built, and shared, aiming to make southern Jiangxi a backyard garden for ecological tourism and wellness in the Greater Bay Area. This cultural and tourism ecosystem of "you in me, me in you" is a vivid footnote to the deep integration of Jiangxi and Guangdong. In recent years, to attract more Greater Bay Area residents to Jiangxi, Jiangxi has established "Jiangxi Scenery Uniquely Beautiful" tourism promotion centers in Hong Kong and Macau. Various regions across the province have also organized cultural and tourism exchange and promotion activities in the Greater Bay Area, successively launching five精品线路 such as "Poetic Jiangxi Journey," "Wind-Chasing Jiangxi Journey," and "World Heritage Journey," while推出 "Attracting Visitors to Jiangxi" gift packages and hosting the "Jiangxi Scenery Uniquely Beautiful" landscape photography exhibition. The紧密互动 of cultural and tourism离不开 the全面提速 of transportation between the two regions. Today, there are daily high-speed trains from Nanchang直达 Hong Kong's Kowloon, with the fastest taking only 4 hours. Meanwhile, the Ruijin-Meizhou Railway, connecting Ruijin City in Jiangxi Province and Meizhou City in Guangdong Province, is全面推进 and计划 to open in June 2027. Upon completion, the Ruijin-Meizhou Railway will connect several old revolutionary base areas in southern Jiangxi with the Greater Bay Area, facilitating红色旅游 and the export of特色农产品 from the old revolutionary areas, as well as the flow of capital, technology, talent, and other resources from the Greater Bay Area to these areas. "What the Greater Bay Area can do, Ganzhou should also be able to do," said Liu Shen, Director of the Ganzhou Administrative Approval Bureau. To achieve synchronized public services and enhance普惠性民生福祉, since 2021, Ganzhou has连续开展 four rounds of optimization and improvement actions对标 the Greater Bay Area. At the municipal level, 268 administrative approval items have been fully benchmarked against Shenzhen, 209 high-frequency government service items have achieved跨省通办 with Shenzhen, 127 high-frequency Shenzhen items are available for 24-hour self-service in Ganzhou, and Ganzhou has become the fourth city outside Guangdong to achieve mutual trust and recognition of electronic seals with Shenzhen, after Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. From industrial development and economic cooperation to transportation提速, cultural and tourism互动, and various民生-related fields such as housing, education, and technology, cooperation between Jiangxi and the Greater Bay Area is accelerating with unprecedented momentum. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Jiangxi and the Greater Bay Area will leverage comprehensive integration to jointly create a new model of regional协同发展, writing a佳话 of mutually beneficial regional cooperation.
