Red Sea in Turmoil, But This Company Conquers New Markets with AI

Amid Rising Red Sea Tensions, Manufacturers Turn to Southeast Asia’s Blue Ocean Markets

Following the outbreak of the Israel-Palestine war, the Houthi forces in the Red Sea swiftly escalated their involvement in the conflict. On August 21 alone, two more commercial ships were attacked, heightening tensions in the region. As risks mount, many Chinese manufacturers are shifting focus to lower-risk yet high-potential markets like Southeast Asia.

Take SUZHOU CHEMIE HTFS Tech CO., LTD.as an example. For 26 years, this traditional chemical company thrived domestically—until 2021, when market challenges pushed it to seek growth overseas. Yet, as a conventional industrial firm, Cameo faced steep barriers: limited manpower, unfamiliarity with foreign markets, and unclear channels. Its expansion plans stalled—until a breakthrough arrived this March.
