Expo Osaka 2025 is in full swing, and Guangdong Week recently took center stage at the China Pavilion. Serving as a key platform to showcase the province’s image, the event highlighted Guangdong’s strengths in ecology, technology, culture, and business—reinforcing its reputation as a globally connected, forward-thinking region.

The event kicked off with a vibrant lion dance. Shenzhen stole the spotlight with cutting-edge robotics and immersive LED displays, while the Greater Bay Area promoted collaboration opportunities in healthcare, medical R&D, and senior care to Japanese firms. Yangjiang, meanwhile, showcased its food processing, outdoor gear, home furnishings, and apparel industries, organizing targeted business matchmaking sessions to tap into the RCEP market.

A 13-meter digital scroll brought Guangdong’s ecological achievements to life—from biodiversity conservation in Nanling National Park to mangrove restoration in Zhanjiang. Cultural performances also dazzled audiences. The Yingge dance troupe, a crowd favorite at international events, brought the house down with its high-energy routine.

With strong historical ties and geographic proximity, Guangdong has long been a top destination for Japanese investment in China. This event not only strengthened cultural bonds but also opened new doors for business and technological collaboration between the two nations.
