Event Recruitment | Come to Shenzhen and Talk About How to Do "Going Global" in 2025
In 2025, Chinese companies remain as eager as ever to expand overseas, though the global political and economic landscape has grown even more complex and unpredictable with Donald Trump back in office.
In 2025, Chinese companies' enthusiasm for going global remains undiminished — though the global political and economic landscape has grown more complex and uncertain with Donald Trump back in office.
Yet as Chinese enterprises expand overseas faster and deeper, some practical challenges are coming into sharper focus: the wide variation in fiscal and tax systems across countries, which creates all sorts of pitfalls for global payment and settlement; the persistent hurdle of brand localization, especially for consumer brands, given how differently user profiles vary by region...
On February 21, next Friday evening from 19:00 to 21:30 in Shenzhen, Source Code Capital is co-hosting its first gathering of the new year with Airwallex, the global payments and financial platform. We've invited several operators on the front lines: Lucy Liu, co-founder and president of Airwallex; Guanyuan Qiao, VP of SHOPLINE; and Bo Liu, VP of Airwallex — to share real-world cases and tactical approaches on cross-border payments and brand localization, along with their insights into emerging global markets.
Shuang Dou, Managing Director at Source Code Capital and former head of integrated marketing for TikTok Shop, will join as special moderator to share her observations and thinking from serving companies in this space. Beyond these guests, we're also inviting numerous portfolio companies from Source Code Capital's Greater China network that are expanding overseas.
This is also the first Code Brain "Going Global" gathering of the new year — once again, a relaxed, free-flowing dinner where every participant can share their own experiences, reflections, and puzzles about going global, and engage in deep exchange with peers... Whether you're a founder already building overseas, a founder planning to expand, or the #1 person leading international markets at your company, you're welcome to apply. To ensure quality of discussion, we'll screen all applicants; those selected will be contacted individually by a Source Code Capital team member with event details.
Looking forward to kicking off the Year of the Snake with founders over a conversation about going global.
