NANNING, China, December 24, 2025 — Serving as the core hub for the “Nanning Channel”—a key link for China-ASEAN exchanges and cooperation—Nanning’s Wuxiang New District leverages the combined strengths of several national-level opening-up platforms. These include the Nanning Area of the China (Guangxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone, a national economic and technological development zone, and the core section of the ASEAN-focused financial opening-up gateway. Aligning with the priority of high-quality growth, the district has cultivated a conducive business environment via targeted policy support, boosted market dynamism through innovative service breakthroughs, and driven local enterprises to advance faster in key industries, becoming a strong driver of regional economic expansion.
Within the electronic information industry, Nanning Chuxin Integrated Circuit Design Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, and sales of liquid crystal display (LCD) driver chips. Its self-developed products meet mainstream industry performance standards and are widely used in various electronic display devices like smartphones and laptops. Backed by the government’s targeted support policies, the company has not only overcome key development challenges—such as recruiting high-end talent and securing funding—but also built a highly collaborative industrial chain ecosystem with multiple wafer fabrication facilities and local businesses. This has provided vital momentum for enhancing and complementing Guangxi’s semiconductor industry chain. To date, the company holds 94 intellectual property rights, and its annual sales are expected to surpass 400 million yuan this year.
In advanced manufacturing, Guangxi Aige Workshop Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. has fully upgraded its entire production line with intelligent technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into every step of the production process—this not only boosts production efficiency substantially but also effectively promotes employment and income growth for nearby villagers, while fostering a healthy, interactive regional industrial ecosystem alongside local enterprises.
The cultural industry is filled with notable achievements. As Guangxi’s only full-industry-chain animation company, Nanning Peak Culture Communication Co., Ltd. has developed high-quality intellectual properties (IPs) including “Dolphin Helpers” and “Princess Amy of Music.” These IPs have been distributed to more than 80 countries and regions globally in 12 languages, and the company holds 9 patents and 43 software copyrights in total. Since 2023, the firm has fully shifted to the AI-generated content (AIGC) sector. Its self-built “Ju Xiaobai” AIGC short video creation platform has initially established a Southeast Asian multimodal corpus, enabling it to produce short video content that accurately matches the cultural traits of regions like Vietnam and Thailand—thus opening wider avenues for Chinese culture to reach international audiences.
In the artificial intelligence (AI) domain, Wuxiang New District uses the China-ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Cooperation Center (South AI Center) as its core platform to actively push forward AI application cooperation with ASEAN nations, aiming to establish an AI industry cooperation hub linking China and ASEAN. Focused on key areas like intelligent terminals and cross-border digital services, the South AI Center has attracted a range of leading AI enterprises and innovation teams. Through building tech exchange platforms and conducting cross-border joint R&D projects, it facilitates the precise alignment and deep integration of AI technology with the real needs of ASEAN regions. Currently, businesses in the South AI Center Park have signed multiple cooperation agreements with ASEAN enterprises and launched pilot applications across various fields. One example is Jieduanzhe Robotics—a subsidiary of Guangxi Shijiayi Technology Co., Ltd.—which is Zhiyuan Robotics’ only joint venture in Guangxi. Drawing on its parent company’s technological, financial, and talent resources, it aims to build a benchmark brand for embodied robots based in Guangxi and has become a preferred supplier for product rollouts in ASEAN markets.
The ongoing optimization and enhancement of the business environment provide a solid foundation for enterprise growth. As a showcase for business environment improvement, the South AI Center Park in Wuxiang New District offers tailored services—including an expedited approval channel and special policy support—effectively lowering the costs for enterprises to set up and grow, while consistently attracting high-quality AI firms and cross-border cooperation projects to cluster here. The agglomeration effect of innovation platforms and tech enterprises remains prominent. To date, Wuxiang New District hosts 9 national-level innovation and entrepreneurship platforms and 107 at the autonomous region level; the number of active high-tech enterprises totals 403, and there are 316 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Looking ahead, Wuxiang New District will continue to prioritize nurturing its industrial ecosystem, fully unlock the policy benefits of its multiple national-level platforms, deepen digital empowerment and professional service innovation, and expand the space for private enterprises to innovate and grow. By advancing to a higher level of openness and a more refined business environment, it will fully drive the region’s high-quality economic development and contribute stronger “Wuxiang momentum” to building the China-ASEAN Community with a Shared Future.
