Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in south China sits at a unique crossroads. It borders Vietnam and faces the Beibu Gulf, making it a natural gateway to ASEAN. Today, that geography is turning into real livelihood gains.

With smoother customs clearance, smarter ports, and faster land-sea transport links, goods move more efficiently across borders, from fresh farm produce to daily necessities and industrial parts. For businesses, it means broader markets and lower logistics costs. For local communities, it brings more jobs, steadier incomes and stronger confidence in the future.

From Nanning's open platforms to border cities like Pingxiang and Dongxing, cross-border cooperation is showing its value in visible, practical ways. When connectivity grows, the first beneficiaries are ordinary people. (Photos via CGTN)
