China’s telecom firm Huawei and UAE’s national telecom firm Etisalat formed a strategic partnership in 2005. In September 2015, Huawei established the first customer service center in the Middle East in Dubai. Huawei has become the main supplier of equipment in the UAE telecommunications industry. 

The UAE’s chemical firm Borouge built plants in the Fengxian District of Shanghai and in the Nansha District of Guangzhou in 2010.

The UAE’s hotel giant Jumeirah Hotel has eight properties in China, including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Haikou, Qiandao Lake and Sanya.

The two sides are also seizing opportunities to develop cooperation in tourism by emphasizing each other's unique geography and regional customs.

 

In 2017, Chinese visitors to the UAE exceeded one million. In the first quarter of 2017, 1,600 UAE tourists visited the Chinese mainland, a year-on-year increase of 4.6 percent. At the same time, 230,000 Chinese visited Dubai, a year-on-year increase of 64 percent. In January 2018, the UAE became the 11th country to implement mutual visa exemption with China.

To further optimize the shopping experience for Chinese tourists, the Dubai tourism administration is currently discussing plans with China’s online payment operators for launching online payment platforms in Dubai.
