Wuhan is one of China's key transport and logistics hubs, known as the "crossroads of nine provinces".The representation in Wuhan becomes part of Kazakhstan's already forming network of presence in China. To date, QazTrade partnership offices operate in a number of key cities such as Hefei, Xi'an, Changsha, Nanjing, Tianjin, Chengdu, and Qingdao.

In Fujian province, discussions are underway regarding the localization of production and the launch of new Chinese enterprises with investments of up to $1.2 billion. This became clear following the visit of Kazakhstan's Minister of Trade and Integration, Arman Shakkaliyev, to Fujian province. A key agreement was to work on a major investment project with the Chinese company Fujian Hengwang Investment. This involves the construction of a metallurgical plant in Kazakhstan with a capacity of up to 3 million tons of steel per year. The investment volume is estimated at $1.2 billion. The project envisages the creation of about 2.5 thousand jobs and is focused on the domestic market and export. Simultaneously, projects for the localization of production in Kazakhstan in a number of industries are being discussed. With the textile company Jinyuan, the launch of yarn production and the development of deep processing are being worked out. With Weihua Heavy Machinery, the creation of lifting equipment production and engineering centers is being discussed. With Shenda Electric, the organization of transformer and electrical product manufacturing is being considered.
