BBQ Service Provincial/State Government Successful Case Reference
— Guangxi-Penang Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum and Government Delegation Meeting
Publication Date: January 8, 2026Case Period: 2015–2016
Location: Guangxi, China and Penang, Malaysia
During 2015–2016, the BBQ Global Service Program successfully facilitated mutual visits between delegation from China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Malaysia's Penang State Government, and hosted the "Guangxi-Penang Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum." During the event, Mr. Mohd Rashid Hasnon, then First Deputy Chief Minister of Penang State (later Vice Speaker of the Malaysian Parliament), personally inscribed "Penang-BBQ" and posed for photos with the BBQ team and Guangxi representatives.
This is a typical example of serving governments and enterprises in cross-border cooperation, demonstrating the practical value of the BBQ (Big Benefit Quality) grand public welfare model in international people-to-people diplomacy and economic/trade fields. The forum focused on economic and trade cooperation, youth entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange, attracting government officials, entrepreneurs, and youth representatives from both countries. Several cooperation intentions were signed on site, laying the foundation for long-term friendly exchanges between Guangxi and Penang.
The BBQ Global Service Program upholds the spirit of perpetual neutrality (as in Geneva), acting as a civil bridge for cooperation between governments of the two countries. Key highlights of this event:
• Government mutual visits and forum hosting: BBQ coordinated visits between relevant Guangxi departments and the Penang delegation, successfully organizing the economic and trade cooperation forum and providing a neutral, efficient dialogue platform for both governments.
• Policy empowerment and strategic support: The event aligned with the Belt and Road Initiative and ASEAN cooperation, helping Guangxi expand international economic channels while introducing Chinese market opportunities to Penang, promoting bilateral policy alignment.
• High-level recognition: Mr. Mohd Rashid Hasnon personally inscribed "Penang-BBQ," symbolizing affirmation and support for the BBQ model and reflecting the trust and influence BBQ earns when serving governments.
This case demonstrates that BBQ does not interfere in sovereign affairs but supplements gaps in official diplomacy through its grand public welfare model, helping local governments achieve mutual benefits, win-win results, and peaceful development.
The event provided enterprises direct access to government resources and international markets:
• Economic and trade cooperation platform: Multiple enterprises from Guangxi and Penang signed cooperation intentions covering manufacturing, trade, youth entrepreneurship, and other sectors.
• Initial application of the Q8 evaluation system: Participating enterprises were screened via BBQ assessments to ensure high-quality, sustainable partnerships meeting standards that unify benefits for economy, society, and environment.
• Resource sharing and empowerment: BBQ offered transnational networks, investment information, and ongoing support, helping enterprises integrate into global supply chains, pursue green transformation, and drive innovation.
Enterprise representatives noted that the BBQ model delivered not only economic gains in international cooperation but also enabled them to fulfill social responsibility with love and follow sustainable development paths.
• High-level photos and inscription: Mr. Mohd Rashid Hasnon's "Penang-BBQ" inscription and multiple delegation group photos underscored the event's high profile and friendly atmosphere.
• Youth entrepreneurship and cultural integration: The forum incorporated elements from the 2015 International Youth Entrepreneurship Competition and the 2016 China-ASEAN Film Festival, fostering youth exchanges and cultural mutual learning.
• Long-term significance: This was an early successful example of BBQ's international cooperation, providing valuable experience for later global summits, forums, chain coffee shop deployments, and virtual country initiatives. It validated the cross-border feasibility of public welfare industrialization (equal exchange) and commercial public welfare (triple-benefit unity).
The Guangxi-Penang Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum and Government Delegation Meeting is another classic reference case for the BBQ Global Service Program in serving governments and enterprises. It proves that, under the neutral and loving BBQ grand public welfare model, governments can open new spaces for international cooperation, enterprises can achieve high-quality cross-border growth, and regions as a whole can advance toward peace, prosperity, and a shared future.
BBQ will continue to quietly pursue this grand, high-quality welfare, joining hands with global partners to co-create a global family.
