Dongguan, September 02, 2026 ( Report: Amjad Aziz Malik): Preparations for the upcoming Asia-Pacific Media Forum in Shenzhen and Dongguan are progressing actively, with extensive arrangements being made to provide participating journalists and media professionals with an opportunity to learn about the region’s rapid economic development, manufacturing capabilities, innovation and international business environment.
During the visit, media representatives are scheduled to explore the vibrant cities of Shenzhen and Dongguan, two of Guangdong Province’s major economic and manufacturing centres. The programme provides an opportunity for journalists from different countries to observe first-hand the development of modern industries, advanced technology, international trade and the transformation of traditional manufacturing.
A major attraction of the programme in Dongguan is the exhibition being organized at a local hotel, where manufacturers and companies have set up stalls to display a wide variety of products. The exhibition has attracted manufacturers from the local area and provides them with an opportunity to introduce their products to international visitors and potential business partners. People from different parts of the world are visiting the exhibition stalls, creating an important platform for interaction between Chinese manufacturers, international buyers, media representatives and other visitors. The diversity of products on display demonstrates the strength and scale of Dongguan’s manufacturing sector and its growing links with international markets.
The Asia-Pacific Media Forum will also provide journalists with an opportunity to report on these developments and highlight the changing economic landscape of the Greater Bay Area. Visits to Shenzhen and Dongguan are particularly valuable for media professionals because they allow them to go beyond official presentations and directly observe factories, exhibitions, businesses and the people involved in China’s economic development. The preparations and activities in Shenzhen and Dongguan therefore offer an important opportunity to strengthen media cooperation, enhance mutual understanding and promote greater people-to-people and business-to-business contacts among China and Asia-Pacific countries.
