I. Core Principle: Dual-compliance and Co-construction Guiding Layout
Enterprises' overseas expansion must adhere to the "dual-compliance and co-construction" principle of compliance first and joint construction & cooperation, and implement differentiated regional layout. For regions with sound policy and legal systems, it is essential to fully understand local rules and technical standards, and integrate compliance requirements throughout the entire operation process. For most regions in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, enterprises should uphold the concept of joint construction and cooperation, and make comprehensive considerations and careful arrangements in key links such as equity structure design.
II. Competitive Strategy: Abandon Low-price Involvement and Achieve Value Leapfrogging
The core of overseas competition lies in value breakthrough rather than low-price internal friction. Enterprises need to compete with established EPC contractors and enterprises from the US, Europe, Japan and South Korea and other Chinese companies by virtue of their core strength. They should transform reserves in technology, talents, equipment manufacturing and other fields into tangible customer value, build core competitiveness by clarifying their Value Proposition, and complete the transformation from low price competition to value leapfrogging.

1. Tap Absolute Advantages: Based on local culture, explore differentiated highlights and core advantages of one's own, which is a prerequisite for seizing overseas business opportunities.

2. Embrace AI Technology: Fully deploy AI technology, and give priority to cooperating with local leading enterprises in core overseas markets relying on Physical AI fully autonomous systems to build replicable demonstration benchmark projects, so as to consolidate competitiveness through innovation.
V. Soft Power Support: Green and Sustainable Development
Cultivating green soft power is an important enabling method for enterprises' overseas expansion. This capability covers sustainable development dimensions such as compliant operation, environmental and climate governance, and humanistic care. On the basis of core strengths in technology, innovation, capital and other aspects, superimposing green ecological soft power can achieve twice the result with half the effort in overseas development.
VI. Strategic Guidelines: Plan Before Acting and Consolidate Core Competitiveness
1. Temper Core Competitiveness: The difficulty of international business far exceeds expectations. Enterprises must uphold the concept of "never attempt to undertake a task beyond one's ability", and polish their core advantages before they can participate in international market competition.
2. Clarify Strategy Before Taking Action: Adhere to "think twice before acting", and make prudent layout only after clear strategic positioning and definite core advantages. Once the strategy is finalized, enterprises need to take decisive actions to seize overseas market opportunities.
