Facing age-grade teams from European clubs like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Espanyol, how far can a Chinese team with an average age of only 8 years go?

The answer given by the Chinese Football Youths 2018 team is winning all nine matches and taking the championship.

On September 12th to 13th, at the Spanish Brava Cup venue, the Chinese Football Youths broke through from 67 participating teams. Four consecutive wins in the group stage were just an appetizer; once the knockout stage began, the real challenges were just starting. In the semi-final against the Espanyol age-grade team, the young players completed a comeback while trailing by two goals; in the final against Messi's Cornellà age-grade team, the match was tied 2:2 after regular time, eventually securing the victory through a penalty shootout 5:4.

When the children held the trophy and celebrated with the national flag, the moment that Chinese football youths shone on the world stage had the most concrete imagery. The core player of the team, Han Chengjun, also known as "Little George", scored 17 goals in 9 matches and also won the tournament MVP and Golden Boot. Of course, this achievement is eye-catching, but what is more exciting than the goal numbers is the resilience of this team in adversity. Dare to push forward when behind, dare to handle key balls, dare to stand on the penalty spot for a penalty shootout victory, these match qualities are more precious than a single win or loss.

One year ago, at the same tournament, the Chinese Football Youths stopped at the quarter-finals; a year later, they stood on the highest podium. The change did not happen suddenly.

Since 2024, BYD has continuously supported football youths to go to Germany, Japan, Spain, Thailand, Italy, Brazil, etc. for exchange matches, totaling over 200 participations. Go to play against more mature youth training systems, experience high-intensity schedules, and also recognize gaps through wins and losses time and again.

From winning the Asian youth tournament in Thailand, to lifting the cup in Italy, to this time winning all nine matches in Spain, the overseas journey of the Chinese Football Youths is beginning to show a clearer growth trajectory. Players such as Li Haoyan, Liu Kaiyuan, and Lv Mengyang have already signed with Spanish professional club age-grade teams, which also indicates that these cross-border exchanges are leaving longer-term value.

Building cars requires long-term R&D, and youth training has no quick answer. BYD supports these children; the significance is not only in accompanying them to win so many trophies, but more importantly in still willing to provide opportunities to go out and compete when results have not yet appeared and attention has not yet arrived.

This Brava Cup belongs to the little players who dare to fight and strive, and also to every training session that persisted even when no one cheered. The future of Chinese football is far away, but these children have already taken a step forward.

August 25, the highly anticipated "2026 Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey · Enlightenment Road" event concluded successfully in Singapore, with BYD providing backing for the entire travel cooperation. Green energy accompanies the Silk Road journey, this 33-day Silk Road trip was full of highlights, the convoy started from Xi'an, spanning six provinces within the country, crossing Thailand and Malaysia along the way, traveled over 10,000 kilometers, eventually arrived in Singapore, successfully completing the cross-border journey.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of the establishment of comprehensive strategic partnership between China and ASEAN. This event was themed "Technology Innovates · Civilization Converges", connecting land and maritime Silk Roads, integrating cultural exchange, tech dialogue and economic trade connectivity, vividly showcasing the new development vitality of the "Belt and Road".

This journey was also a 10,000-mile real-world test of BYD's hard-core technology. BYD gathered five brand models to form a new energy vehicle fleet, adapting to various complex road conditions such as highways, mountain roads, and urban congestion. Its flash charging capability of "5 minutes for good charge, 9 minutes for full charge", relying on the network layout of nearly 10,000 flash charging stations across the country, solved the long-distance energy replenishment challenge, intelligent driving also significantly reduced driving pressure.

BYD's deep cultivation in the Singapore market achieved remarkable results, consecutively securing the first place in local passenger car sales for 19 months. In 2026, BYD's overseas business grew even faster, best-selling in over 100 countries worldwide, topping the new energy sales list in multiple countries.

This Silk Road journey not only demonstrated the solid strength of Chinese new energy vehicles, but also allowed the world to see the strong power of Chinese brands helping the "Belt and Road" green development.

On June 11, 2026, the 2026 German Cologne Tire Show concluded. General Shares participated with three major brands: Qianlima, Ruitu, and Xidataong, and released the "Super Du Zhong Tire" to the overseas market for the first time. Relying on innovative technology and a full range of product matrix, the General Shares booth attracted hundreds of customers from Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and other countries, with new customers accounting for over 80%, and on-site intent orders exceeding one million US dollars.

Addressing Europe's strict environmental regulations and complex climate, General Shares displayed a refined product line covering passenger car tires (PCR) and truck/bus tires (TBR). Regarding passenger car tires, ECOCITY focuses on low rolling resistance and wet safety; SPORTEZZA focuses on high-speed handling and quietness; BlueGuard SNOW snow tires are designed specifically for high-latitude severe weather conditions. Regarding truck/bus tires, CDL2 specializes in long-haul highway stable driving and drainage; CTL2 emphasizes all-road versatility, supports multiple retreads, meeting the cost reduction and efficiency enhancement needs of European logistics fleets; several high-wear-resistance products under the Xidataong brand also received attention.

The core highlight of the exhibition was the overseas premiere of the "Super Du Zhong Tire" developed over more than ten years. The product benchmarks against strict European standards from three major dimensions: Wear resistance performance increased by over 30% year-on-year, passenger car front wheel life exceeds 80,000 kilometers; Wet braking distance shortened by over 4 meters, reaching the EU labeling regulation's highest A-class standard, and adding 5mm nail self-healing CeliSeal self-repair technology; paired with CeliMute silent cotton technology, cavity noise reduced by 9dB, loudness perception reduced by 50%, adapting to the quietness needs of high-end new energy vehicles.

Currently, General Shares is promoting its globalization strategy relying on the national-level R&D platform and the "dual-base" capacity layout in Thailand and Cambodia. Against the backdrop of the EU tightening carbon emissions and environmental standards, the launch of the "Super Du Zhong Tire" meets the European market's requirements for green and high-quality tires. In the future, General Shares will continue to delve deep into green materials, intelligent manufacturing, and product iteration, solidifying its global competitiveness.
