Chengdu, following China’s development vision, endeavors to evolve into an international supply chain hub centred on manufacturing. By developing an all-encompassing logistics hub that bridges domestic and global supply chains, it aims to facilitate seamless transactions and goods circulation, exemplified by the China-Europe Railway Express project. Bolstering its status as a national logistics hub of multiple types-land port, airport, production and trade services-Chengdu supports advanced manufacturing industries, including electronics, equipment, pharmacy, new materials, and green food. Despite modest trade volumes compared to leading cities, its foreign investment in manufacturing exceeds and foreign trade has grown significantly. To enhance its position, Chengdu must deepen the integration of logistics with manufacturing, leverage its regional connections, especially with the US, Europe and Asian neighbors, and learn from best practices in logistics hub development. The city’s journey towards becoming an international supply chain hub requires continuous improvement in infrastructure, strategic alignment, and fostering an environment conducive to global commerce.
