At the booth of Benli Electric Appliances in Shunde, Foshan, Southeast Asian buyers were busy selecting coffee machines. According to CEO An Chao, the company has participated in the Canton Fair for over a decade, with orders spanning Europe, the US, and emerging markets. This year has seen notable growth. Tariffs imposed by the US have accelerated the company's transformation, prompting it to expand into ASEAN and the Middle East. As one of the world's largest production hubs for coffee machines, Shunde manufactures one unit every 30 seconds. Benli's newly launched smart manufacturing facility is expected to generate annual output worth 600 million yuan, a success enabled by credit support such as the "Lianjie Loan" service provide by the Agricultural Bank of China Shunde Branch.
LED TVs produced by Guangzhou Hanle Electrical Industrial Co., Ltd attracted widespread attention. As a National-level Technology-based Small and Medium-sized Enterprise, it holds 35 patents and exports products to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. General Manager Tian Guodong noted that the company requires significant funding for research into new optical materials. China Construction Bank Guangdong Branch provided a 5-million-yuan unsecured loan and offered comprehensive international settlement services, helping the company expand its global footprint.
In addition, payment institutions have addressed pain points in going global by offering efficient cross-border payment solutions. From credit support for manufacturers to financial empowerment for tech firms, Guangdong's financial sector has employed a coordinated strategy to counter tariff pressures, showcasing the resilience and vitality of China's major export-oriented economic powerhouse.
