"Just days after opening, the company faced a surprise inspection by Immigration Office checking the employment ratio," said Ren Yifeng, the senior supply chain director of Shenzhen Autel Technology Co., Ltd. when recalling the incident two months later at their Mexico facility. "We were strictly following the 10:1 local hiring rule. The policy checklist provided by the Go Global Service Center is what saved us from the potential mass deportation of dozens of employees."

The Mexico incident exemplifies how the Center has resolved hundreds of cross-border challenges since its launch on April 29, 2025. Dubbed the "Joint Fleet" by entrepreneurs, this platform has gathered a resource pool of 160 institutions – including Dun & Bradstreet, CICC, CITIC-Prudential, SWUPL's Greater Bay Area Institute, and the Brazil Innovation Center – building a support network across 12 fields, including law, taxation, and IP.

Now the factory of Autel in Mexico is being constructed in an orderly manner. After completion, it will further expand the company's digital energy business. Just two months ago, Ren Yifeng was at a loss in the conference room of the Center in Nanshan, facing challenges such as how to register a company under the Mexican legal system.

"Relay translation of Spanish documents into Chinese via English caused critical deviation, leading to three months of registration rejections—ten times longer than in China," recalled Ren Yifeng. The chaos escalated when the Immigration Office Mexico audited the newly opened factory. "In addition to the basic 10:1 local hiring ratio requirements, we'd overlooked mandates to prioritize high-unemployment trades at median wages," he admitted. A Mexican government labor catalog from the Center ultimately prevented shutdown threats and compliance fines—what Ren calls "avoiding a multimillion-dollar tuition fee."

China (Shenzhen) - Mexico Technological Cooperation Seminar.

At the China (Shenzhen) - Mexico Technological Cooperation Seminar, Chen Shuqin, the watch channel director of Shenzhen EVOC VIN Technology Co., Ltd., connected with Mexican distributors via streamlined 10-minute presentation on the 'Go Global Service Center'. "Local partners could halve our market entry time," she noted.

This kind of targeted matchmaking reflects the Center's standard approach. Since its launch, the Center has hosted over 30 specialized events with international partners, including the Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen) Office of Apex-Brasil, the Swiss Center, and the Western Australia Shenzhen Association Incorporated, to facilitate two-way investment. Activities range from supply-demand forums with JD.com and CECport to government-enterprise dialogues featuring the Latin American Professional Medical Group Symposium and the Symposium of the Consulate General of Chile in Guangzhou, which address tech and agricultural trade, as well as ASEAN compliance workshops that develop operational guidelines to strengthen China-Southeast Asia industrial chain integration.

"Now is a good time for Chinese enterprises to go global, and the Center can help hesitant enterprises believe that going global is not so tough," said César Fragozo, the executive vice president of the China Chamber of Commerce and Technology Mexico.
