​(二)From "Going Global" to "Rooting Down"!: 2025 Global Layout of Chinese Enterprises such as Haitian,Yizumi,, Kingfa, and Wanhua in 2025


Kingfa Scientific and Technological Poland Base: A Pass for Recycled Plastics in the EU

On April 27, 2025, Kingfa Technology held a groundbreaking ceremony for its production base in Szprotawa, Poland. The project will have an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of modified plastics and is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026, aimed at meeting the demand for high-quality polymer modified materials in the automotive, home appliance, and electronics industries in Europe.

As of 2025, Kingfa Technology has established 9 production bases worldwide, including in the USA (operational since 2016), Germany (the first base in Europe), India (acquired Hydro in 2013), Malaysia, Vietnam (Phase I launched in 2024 with a 60,000-ton capacity, planning a total capacity of 600,000 tons, accounting for 60%-80% of Vietnam's total capacity), Spain (expected production of 30,000 tons of recycled plastics in 2025), and Poland.

Wanhua Chemical's Hungary Base: Full Chain Penetration from Raw Materials to End Products

The signing and groundbreaking ceremony for Wanhua Chemical's 400,000-ton/year VCM (vinyl chloride monomer) project at BorsodChem in Hungary took place smoothly on April 11, 2024.

Wanhua Chemical aims to develop BorsodChem into the most competitive and environmentally friendly polyurethane manufacturing base in Europe. The new VCM project is key to achieving this goal and marks an important milestone in Wanhua's overseas development.

Sinopec Plastics: Launch of Vietnam Overseas Warehouse

Sinopec Plastics Company, a subsidiary of Sinochem Group, established its first overseas bonded warehouse in Haiphong, Vietnam, in May 2024.

The launch of this bonded warehouse will enable rapid response to the Southeast Asian market through centralized storage, significantly reducing delivery times and saving logistics and tariff costs, while allowing for flexible adjustments to sales strategies based on inventory data.

In the future, Sinopec Plastics plans to use Vietnam as a starting point to accelerate its overseas network layout, enhancing the international marketing platform for Sinopec Chemical Materials and boosting its competitiveness in the global market.

From "Using Policies to Save Costs" to "Building Platforms to Integrate Resources" Upgrade

In the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative and global industrial chain adjustments, effectively utilizing policies and global resources has become key for enterprises going abroad. Companies are no longer focusing solely on single policy advantages but are integrating policies, resources, markets, etc., into a comprehensive system to enhance global competitiveness.

Wankai New Materials: 750,000 Tons PET Bottle Chip Project in Indonesia

In April 2025, Wankai New Materials announced plans to invest 2.019 billion yuan to establish a 750,000-ton/year food-grade PET new materials project in Indonesia through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chongqing Wankai. This project aligns with industry development trends, adheres to the national "Belt and Road" strategy, and capitalizes on Indonesia's market potential and unique trade advantages.

Rongsheng Petrochemical and Zhongjin Petrochemical Share Swap: An Innovative Paradigm for Technology in Exchange for Market

On November 19, 2024, Rongsheng Petrochemical's wholly-owned subsidiary, Rongsheng Petrochemical (Singapore) Co., Ltd., signed a "Development Framework Agreement" with Saudi Aramco and its subsidiary SASREF in Beijing to pave the way for the SASREF expansion project in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The agreement outlines the project's design and development cooperation mechanism and planning aimed at expanding refining and petrochemical capacity and promoting international cooperation.

Previously, in April, both parties signed a "Cooperation Framework Agreement" and in September signed related preliminary documents. The project is located in the Jubail Industrial Area and is at the PREFEED stage, focusing on constructing large steam cracking units and integrating downstream products with existing refineries.

Avoiding Trade Barriers: An Upgrade from "Passively Avoiding Tariffs" to "Proactively Adjusting Layouts"

In the face of trade restrictions such as U.S. tariffs and EU carbon border taxes, Chinese enterprises are no longer passively bearing the burden but are actively adjusting their supply chains.

Jialian Technology: Investment in Biodegradable Materials Base in Thailand

In 2023, Jialian Technology announced an investment of 300 million yuan to establish a biodegradable materials project in Thailand, focusing on the production of PLA, PBAT, and other biodegradable plastic utensils. In 2024, it increased investment by 50 million USD, aiming to enhance its financial strength and operational management efficiency, thus advancing its international development strategy.

Building a factory in Thailand allows the company to partially avoid certain tariffs imposed by some countries and regions on Chinese products, thereby reducing trade risks.

Jialian Technology specializes in the research, production, and sales of high-end plastic products and fully biodegradable products, with major clients including well-known domestic and international companies such as IKEA, Walmart, KFC, Starbucks, and Snow City.

Fuling Technology: Addressing Tariffs and Localized Production

In response to the U.S. government's continued imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports, in April 2024, Fuling Holdings partnered with Pennsylvania Fuling to invest 35 million USD in Indonesia to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary (Winning Food Packaging Co., Ltd.). This new subsidiary will focus on building production lines for plastic utensils, paper products, and new plant fiber molded products.

The company has planned to purchase land in Indonesia in the second half of 2024 to build a new production base, accommodating domestic production capacity for plastic utensils and paper products destined for the U.S. market. The construction of this production base in Indonesia is an effective strategy to address the impact of U.S. tariffs on Chinese products. It enhances overseas production capacity layout and improves localized service capabilities for overseas customers, while also helping to explore the Southeast Asian market, thereby increasing international competitiveness and risk resistance.

Against the backdrop of a global supply chain reconstruction, the overseas layout of Chinese enterprises has evolved from a simple "going global" to a clear objective of "rooting down." Some companies precisely target local market demands, some leverage their technological advantages to seize high-end markets, and others break down trade barriers through localized production.

As more and more Chinese factories rise overseas and as an increasing amount of "Chinese technology" integrates into the global industry chain through technological innovation and localized production, this trend represents not only an extension of production capacity but also an export of technology, standards, and brands—allowing "Made in China" to genuinely integrate into the global value chain.
