"I often brush videos of Chongqing's food and beautiful scenery on overseas websites, and this time I saw it with my own eyes, and it is worthy of the name."

Zhu Wenjie now runs a cross-border logistics company, many of which are sourced from Chongqing, involving goods from automobiles, motorcycles, machinery, textiles and other industries. Zhu Wenjie has always paid attention to Chongqing's foreign exports, for example, in terms of supply chain, Chongqing has gathered railways, ports, aviation and other modes of transportation. With the construction of the China-Europe Express (Yuxinou) and the new land-sea passage in the west, the construction of Chongqing's inland open highland has achieved more and more results.
Cheng Fuqiang, President of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Hometown Association of the United Arab Emirates, was deeply impressed by the visit to Changan Automobile and Lijia Smart Park. Among them, Changan Automobile has increased investment in R&D, comprehensively transformed to intelligent and low-carbon, and achieved leapfrog development of the enterprise, "this spirit of daring to fight is also highly compatible with the inner temperament of Chongqing."

"I believe that with the continuous enhancement of Chongqing enterprises' R&D and innovation strength in new energy and smart mobility, 'going global' is an inevitable choice for enterprise development." Cheng Fuqiang said that Dubai, as the financial center of the Middle East, is a good platform for Chongqing enterprises to do a good job in overseas publicity and display, and he is very willing to connect Chongqing enterprises including Changan Automobile and Chinese enterprises to the UAE.
