Xinhua Silk Road: Langjiu voted as most-favored Chinese Baijiu brand by foreigners
BEIJING, May 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- Langjiu, a leading Chinese Baijiu brand of sauce aroma, has been unveiled on Saturday night as one of the most-favored Chinese brands voted by foreigners in the activity 'Give a Like for My Favorite China's Brands (2024-2025)'. It secured the most votes by foreigners in the baijiu category, highlighting its strong appeal among overseas markets and global consumers.
Co-organized by the Brand Work Office of Xinhua News Agency and China Economic Information Service (CEIS), the global online voting campaign for 'Give a Like for My Favorite China's Brands (2024-2025)' has been successfully held for four consecutive years. The annual activity aims to showcase the competitiveness and global influence of Chinese brands, while further enhancing recognition and popularity among foreigners.
Langjiu is produced in Erlang Town, Gulin County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, which is located on the left bank of the Chishui River, one of the world's top ten liquor-producing regions. The company has built the Langjiu Estate in this area, encompassing six ecological brewing zones, spanning 49km along the riverbank. With an annual production capacity of 72,000 tons of premium sauce-aroma baijiu and a storage volume of 265,000 tons, the estate attracts over 200,000 baijiu enthusiasts from around the world each year.
According to the World Brand Summit 2024 report on China's 500 Most Valuable Brands, Langjiu ranked 56th with a brand value of 151.876 billion yuan (around 20.98 billion U.S. dollars), securing a top-three position in the Chinese baijiu industry for 16 consecutive years.
In recent years, Langjiu has expanded its international business footprint to more than 20 countries and regions across the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. Through product launches and promotional events, Langjiu has gradually entered into new markets such as Spain, France, Thailand, and Cambodia.
The efforts to take Chinese Baijiu go global boils down to fostering cultural recognition, said Wang Junlin, chairman of Langjiu. The company has long been focusing on quality and culture, continuously enhancing its brand identity.
The year 2025 marks the ninth anniversary of China Brand Day. China's brands are gaining growing recognition in international markets. Langjiu, as a shining business card of Chinese Baijiu brands, will forge ahead with constant effort to promote going global of Chinese culture and cultivating cultural identity at a large scope.

Temu sees 48% drop in US users after de minimis loophole ends
Temu sees 48% drop in US users after de minimis loophole ends Show Caption Hide Caption Shein, Temu warn US shoppers of higher prices ahead The days of cheap Chinese goods by post are coming to an end for U.S. shoppers. Reuters Daily U.S. users of PDD Holdings' PDD.O global discount e-commerce platform Temu fell by 48% in May compared to March, according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, one of many headwinds the e-retailer is facing amid a U.S.-China trade war. Temu decided to slash ad spending in the U.S. and shift its order fulfillment strategy after the White House on May 2 ended the practice known as "de minimis" which allowed Chinese companies to ship low-value packages to the United States tariff-free. Temu, along with fast-fashion giant Shein, had utilized that provision for years to drop-ship items directly from suppliers in China to consumers in the U.S., keeping prices low. Both Temu and Shein have suffered a sharp drop in sales growth and customer growth rates since U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping trade tariffs, according to data collected by consultancy Bain & Company, but Temu's trends have been worse than its rival. In case you missed it: Shein, Temu prices have gone up. We tracked some items to see how much. Tariffs forced both platforms to raise prices, but Shein has been able to increase the amount of money spent per customer compared to a year ago, the data showed, while Temu has struggled. Temu did not respond to a request for comment on the drop in U.S. daily users or the headwinds it faces in the U.S. market. Engagement on Temu has dropped significantly following the end of the exemption, Morgan Stanley equity analyst Simeon Gutman said in a May note. "While the tariff environment is uncertain, if the status quo remains for an extended period, we believe Temu's competitive threat will continue to weaken," Gutman said. Last week, PDD's first quarter earnings fell short of growth estimates and executives told analysts on a post-earnings call that tariffs had created significant pressure for its merchants. They reiterated Temu's earlier pledge to keep prices stable and work with merchants across regions, referring to a shift to a local fulfillment model announced at the start of May. Temu's previous business model gave merchants responsibility for ordering and supplying their products while the China-based company managed most of the logistics, pricing and marketing. Now, Temu's merchants "can ship individual orders from China to Temu-partnered U.S. warehouses but they would need to address tariffs and customs charges and paper work," according to a note from analysts at HSBC. Temu continues to handle fulfilling orders close to shoppers, setting prices and online operations. In last week's note, HSBC said that Temu's growth in non-U.S. markets has picked up, with non-U.S. users rising to 90% of its 405 million global monthly active users in the second quarter. "New user uptick grew swiftest in less affluent markets," analysts wrote.
