The 9th China-Eurasia Expo in Urumqi is showcasing green and smart technologies, with new exhibition zones focused on low-carbon energy and high-tech innovation. Exhibits include zero-emission construction equipment, new-energy locomotives that cut CO2 by over 370 tonnes per unit per year, and industrial drones for logistics and patrol. The expo itself aims for carbon neutrality through reusable facilities and carbon offset mechanisms. Beyond the displays, Chinese companies like TBEA are deploying photovoltaic projects in Central Asia, supporting the region's shift from fossil fuels. China's trade with Central Asian countries hit a record $106.3 billion in 2025, driven by exports of green energy equipment and high-tech products. The China-Europe Railway Express now links 129 Chinese cities with over 330 cities across Europe and Asia, carrying more solar panels, EV parts, and smart devices. The expo signals that green and smart cooperation is moving from booths to real cross-border trade and energy projects, with implications for carbon markets and regional decarbonization efforts.
