New episodes drop on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — full guest line-up below.
Built for the leaders bridging China and Europe.
Platform & Tech Leaders
Founders and operators of the platforms reshaping commerce on both sides — sharing what scales and what does not.
Brand & Retail CEOs
The decision-makers taking brands across borders, from market entry to category leadership.
Analysts & Bridge-Builders

We have been having these conversations for years. The China Commerce Exchange makes them their own show.

一档独立播客 —— 深植于 K5 的欧洲商业精英网络。
A new podcast — but not a cold start. It launches into the K5 network, where 500+ podcast episodes have already built an audience of the CEOs, founders and investors who run European commerce.
全新播客，却非冷启动 —— 它扎根于 K5 网络，500+ 期播客已积累起欧洲商业的 CEO、创始人与投资人受众。
This is an exchange for business and bridges — not a stage for debate.
The China Commerce Exchange is a collaborative, operation-driven conversation. Guests come to share what works, find partners and build mutual growth across China and Europe. That is the entire point.
Not commentary. The people in the room.
Most China coverage is secondary literature — written about the market, from the outside. The China Commerce Exchange is different: we run the operations, the tech trips and the brand relationships, and we bring the people who actually decide to the microphone.
Ground truth, not hype
Real market structure, supply-chain integration and what is actually working in China and Europe right now — from operators, not observers.
C-level to C-level
An exchange for the leaders building cross-border commerce. Peers talking to peers, with nothing to sell and everything to share.
