SHANGHAI, June 11, 2026 — EqualOcean, a leading research and intelligence platform focused on Chinese companies’ global expansion, officially released its 2026 GoGlobal Compliance Service Enablers Top 10 during the GoGlobal Forum of 100 2026 (GGF2026), one of China’s leading annual forums dedicated to globalization and international business expansion.

As Chinese companies continue to deepen their global expansion, compliance has become a critical capability that determines whether they can establish a long-term presence in overseas markets. Significant differences remain across countries and regions in market access, tax systems, labor regulations, data protection, intellectual property, product standards, and trade supervision. For companies seeking stable overseas operations, building more systematic compliance management capabilities has become essential.
Unlike the earlier approach of “going global first and catching up on compliance later,” more and more Chinese companies are now incorporating compliance planning before entering a market. From company incorporation and contract structuring to tax planning, product certification, and intellectual property strategy, compliance services are moving to the front end of globalization decisions and are increasingly becoming an important foundation for reducing risk, improving efficiency, and building trust.
Notably, the global regulatory environment is becoming increasingly complex. Whether it is the high requirements in Europe and the United States regarding data privacy, product safety, and trade compliance, or the fast-changing local rules in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, companies are being required to develop stronger capabilities in risk identification and response. Against this backdrop, the role of professional compliance service enablers is evolving from that of “problem solvers” to “long-term navigators.”
The institutions selected for this year’s ranking cover multiple areas, including legal services, tax services, product testing and certification, intellectual property services, and overseas corporate services, reflecting the growing professionalism and systemization of China’s GoGlobal compliance service ecosystem. They are not only helping companies respond to specific risks, but also supporting them in building compliance capabilities for global markets.
The release of the 2026 GoGlobal Compliance Service Enablers Top 10 aims to recognize and honor these important forces supporting the steady globalization of Chinese companies. For Chinese enterprises, compliance is not merely a risk baseline. It is also a vital foundation for entering global markets, building long-term trust, and achieving sustainable growth.
