On 8 September, the 25th China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT) opened in Xiamen. As a key sub-event, the CIC Cross-Border Project Matchmaking Conference was held that afternoon. Zhang Chuanwei, founder and Chairman of Ming Yang Group, was invited to the CIFIT opening and delivered a keynote speech at the matchmaking forum, sharing Ming Yang’s insights on global energy transition and cross-border investment cooperation.

This year’s CIFIT drew delegations from over 120 countries and regions, covered 120,000 m² of exhibition space and hosted more than 100 investment-promotion events, positioning itself as the flagship platform for “Invest in China” and a bridge to share the opportunities of Chinese-style modernisation.

The matchmaking forum was chaired by Zhang Shaoqing, Vice-President of China Investment Corporation (CIC). Remarks were given by Vice-Minister of Commerce LING Ji and CIC Chairman ZHANG Qingsong. Distinguished speakers included former World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and Ridha D. M. Wirakusumah, CEO of Indonesia’s Investment Authority. The session created a high-level dialogue platform on cross-border investment, focusing on the reshaping of global industrial and supply chains and promoting deeper, wider cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises.

In his speech, Zhang Chuanwei first reviewed China’s rapid new-energy progress: under the “Four Revolutions & One Cooperation” energy-security strategy, China has become the world’s top manufacturer and installer of new-energy equipment, leading globally in solar and wind technologies. In 2024 China generated one-third of the world’s electricity, and one kWh in every three consumed came from renewable sources. By March 2025, combined grid-connected wind and solar capacity has surpassed that of coal, turning new energy from a high-cost niche into an affordable mainstream and accelerating global energy transition.

As a pioneer of China’s clean-energy revolution, Ming Yang’s products and services are now present in more than 60 countries and regions, fulfilling its mission of technology-driven sustainable development. Facing the challenges of global decarbonisation, Zhang stressed that energy transition requires worldwide collaboration, especially in wind technology, advanced materials and green-hydrogen/ammonia/methanol processes. He added that new-energy applications must be extended to diverse economic scenarios. Beyond supplying cutting-edge equipment, Ming Yang is ready to share its proven supply-chain system and project-development model with global financial and industrial partners to speed up the energy transition worldwide.

Looking at cross-border investment, Zhang exchanged views with over 400 delegates on three cooperation opportunities:

1. Global localised manufacturing – Ming Yang has already launched capacity in multiple regions to integrate into local economies.  
2. Hainan Free-Trade Port – the Group is building full-scenario industrial clusters and welcomes international partners to co-develop innovative applications.  
3. All-round open cooperation – Ming Yang invites global capital and enterprises to fuse with China’s complete modern industrial system and share the opportunities of both the Chinese and global new-energy markets.

Concluding his speech, Zhang quoted the Confucian maxim “Appreciate one’s own beauty, respect others’ beauty, share beauty together, and the world will be one,” calling on all nations to tear down cooperation barriers, make clean-energy technologies a global public good, and ensure the fruits of sustainable development benefit all humanity, jointly creating a brighter energy future.
