On the afternoon of June 17, the “Empowering Overseas Expansion: Steady Progress Toward Long-term Success—Training Workshop on Cross-border Business Risk Prevention and Foreign-related Legal Compliance” was held. The workshop attracted numerous executives in charge of overseas market expansion, as well as risk control and legal officers from companies in the High-tech Zone. The event brought together experts from the fields of macro strategy, business data, insurance protection, and legal services.  These experts delivered a comprehensive, practical training session on risk prevention covering the entire value chain for the participating enterprises.

An official from the High-tech Zone Bureau of Commerce provided a detailed explanation of the Xi'an High-tech Zone Trade Comprehensive Service Platform. This platform integrates core modules such as policy dissemination, intelligent matching of supply and demand for enterprises, online and offline event management, and data analysis for service trade. It precisely aligns with the actual needs of enterprises and, in the realm of foreign trade, offers specialized services—including information sharing, risk assessment, and exhibition participation—focusing on key cross-border operational aspects like customs clearance, logistics, tax refunds, and credit insurance. The platform aims to encourage enterprises to "go global" integrate cross-border resources in supply chains, finance, intellectual property, and other areas, and help businesses effectively mitigate international trade risks and expand their presence in international markets.

Zhu Huaizhen, Director of Macro Strategies at Ruida Futures, analyzed the global economic cycle and asset allocation strategies in light of the geopolitical shifts expected in 2026. He pointed out that we are currently in an international landscape characterized by "turbulence and development," and businesses need to pay close attention to exchange rate fluctuations and commodity price risks. Zhu Huaizhen advised companies, at this critical juncture in the economy, to leverage derivatives tools to effectively manage price risks for both raw materials and finished products, achieve value preservation and appreciation through diversified asset allocation, and enhance their resilience to risks.

Dun & Bradstreet expert Yan Tongfu presented a solution for identifying overseas trading entities. He emphasized that, in today’s era of widespread AI technology, companies should leverage the “Dun & Bradstreet Code”—a globally recognized “enterprise ID”—to accurately pinpoint trading entities. Furthermore, he highlighted two critical steps: “thoroughly vetting counterparties before entering into partnerships and closely monitoring any changes after the partnership is established”—both of which are essential for proactively mitigating transaction risks at the source.

Wang Xiaoliang, a senior underwriter at Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance, provided comprehensive insurance solutions addressing the three major categories of risks—asset, trade, and personnel—that Chinese-funded enterprises face when going overseas. He specifically highlighted that overseas jurisdictions generally adopt a “strict liability” approach and advised companies to leverage a full-cycle service system covering “pre-disaster warnings, in-disaster rescue, and post-disaster compensation” to optimize costs and meet local compliance requirements.

In the final segment, Attorney Shen Weiling, Senior Partner at Beijing Deheng (Xi'an) Law Firm, analyzed real-world local cases to highlight the compliance pitfalls that businesses most often overlook when going global. She cautioned everyone with a case in which the lack of “NDRC filing” had severely hampered business expansion: When venturing overseas, it’s crucial to stay true to your original intentions and adopt a strategy of “slow and thorough research, personal on-site visits, and pilot testing.” Leveraging professional expertise will help you take the first steps toward successful cross-border operations with confidence.

This training session not only provides companies with a comprehensive toolkit for managing risks in cross-border operations, but also clarifies the critical understanding that “compliance is the lifeline” for successful overseas expansion. Moving forward, the Xi'an High-Tech Enterprise Association will continue to serve as a vital bridge, connecting businesses with more high-quality resources, consistently monitoring and addressing enterprises’ needs as they go global, and helping high-tech zone enterprises achieve steady and sustainable success in the global market.
