For two decades, Jordanian merchant Mohammad Falah Nasser has turned Yiwu – the Chinese mainland's bustling hub for small commodities trade – into a global business empire. Starting with just 30,000 yuan ($4,100), his import-export venture now moves over $100 million in goods annually across 13 countries and regions via the China-Europe Railway Express.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Trade
Nasser credits his success to Yiwu's unmatched supply chains and China's evolving logistics infrastructure. \"This city gave me opportunities I never imagined,\" he says. His operations now span markets from Jordan to North Africa, exporting daily necessities, electronics, and seasonal products.
Building Bridges Through Trade
The China-Europe Railway Express has been pivotal, slashing delivery times to Arab markets by 30% compared to sea routes. Nasser's story reflects Yiwu's transformation into a melting pot of 15,000 foreign traders, proving how grassroots entrepreneurship can reshape global commerce.
