Peter Wu, CEO and founder of Xavvi
Xavvi Holding Inc. has entered into a comprehensive strategic partnership with iFeng.com’s North America Channel. By integrating media endorsements, local resources in North America, creator ecosystems, and AI-driven digital operational capabilities, the two parties are launching the "GLOBE 365: Global Brand Transformation Initiative." This initiative kicks off with an open call for high-quality Chinese manufacturing enterprises, aiming to pioneer a new, high-quality path for global expansion—combining "Chinese supply chains, North American local branding, creator matrices, and AI-powered long-term operations." The goal is to help Chinese companies move beyond simple product exports and achieve genuine, deep-rooted brand globalization.
As the global trade landscape evolves, many Chinese manufacturers boasting superior product quality find themselves trapped in a long-standing dilemma: they offer high-quality products but lack brand recognition and direct overseas distribution channels. Traditional approaches to international expansion—such as contract manufacturing and attending overseas trade shows—entail high costs and offer only fleeting exposure, making it difficult to build lasting brand equity, content assets, or stable B2B and B2C sales channels. Consequently, many exceptional Chinese products remain invisible to consumers and buyers in North America and across the globe. The strategic partnership between Xavvi and iFeng North America aims to resolve these industry pain points. By elevating their collaboration to a new level, the two parties have established a comprehensive support framework—integrating media empowerment, localized execution, and commercial implementation—to lay a solid resource foundation for the GLOBE 365 initiative.
Leveraging this strategic partnership, iFeng North America will utilize its strengths as a media platform to provide brand endorsement, content dissemination, and business matchmaking support in North America. Xavvi will oversee end-to-end project execution and operations, contributing its local North American teams, creator resources, showroom facilities, cross-border supply chain capabilities, AI-driven operational systems, and distribution networks. By combining their respective strengths, the two parties will establish a comprehensive value chain—spanning brand building, content production, creator collaborations, and B2B business development through to warehousing, fulfillment, and sustained year-round operations—enabling domestic enterprises to bypass the trial-and-error process of navigating overseas markets and access a one-stop solution for localized global expansion.
GLOBE 365 is not merely an overseas business trip or a standard export service; it is a systematic initiative designed to take brands global, comprising pre-departure preparation, an intensive ten-day launch phase in the U.S., and 365 days of continuous global operations. Moving beyond the fleeting exposure of traditional trade shows, the project aims to create a "digital global showroom that never sleeps." It goes beyond seeking short-term orders to help enterprises build long-term intangible assets—such as localized co-branded partnerships, original content libraries, creator distribution networks, B2B procurement resources, and scalable operational systems—thereby enabling the transition from simply "selling products" to "building a global brand."
Core Project Advantages
1. Innovative Model: Creators as Brand Co-creation Partners
Leverages a network of over a hundred North American creators, covering multilingual content distribution across short-video and social media platforms. Creators are not merely targets for ad placement; they are deeply involved in co-branding, content production, and product distribution. This approach opens up diverse sales channels—including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, independent e-commerce sites, and Amazon—while lowering the cost of a brand's initial market entry.
2. AI-powered End-to-End Global Expansion
Utilizes AI tools to assist with brand storytelling, multilingual content generation, inquiry handling, and customer follow-ups. This overcomes time zone and language barriers, enabling 24/7 brand engagement. AI serves as an efficiency tool, complemented by professional human oversight to ensure output quality and regulatory compliance.
3. Closed-Loop Execution: Ten-Day Intensive Launch & 365-Day Ongoing Support
After completing preliminary preparations, enterprises travel to Los Angeles for ten days of intensive, on-the-ground execution. This phase covers influencer matching, co-branding negotiations, content production, brand visual identity development, B2B channel recruitment, and fulfillment cost analysis, culminating in a comprehensive annual growth roadmap. Upon returning home, the operations team provides 365 days of continuous support—managing content distribution, lead conversion, and channel expansion—to maintain sustained market momentum.
Comprehensive Supply Chain & Compliance Assurance
Integrates the full logistics chain from domestic consolidation warehouses to overseas fulfillment centers. Provides supporting services for export qualifications, customs clearance, overseas tax compliance, and the establishment of overseas business entities, balancing B2C retail with B2B global channel recruitment while effectively managing risk and driving business growth.
Significant Industry Impact: Reshaping the Narrative of "Made in China" Going Global
Over the past few decades, Chinese manufacturing has expanded globally thanks to immense production capacity, yet it has largely remained hidden behind overseas brands. The launch of the GLOBE 365 initiative redefines the logic of Chinese enterprises going global: maintaining core strengths in product, quality, and delivery capacity on the manufacturing side, while addressing gaps in branding, content, traffic, and local channels on the overseas side.
It moves beyond the old model of competing on low prices and margin arbitrage, transforming the manufacturing prowess of Chinese factories into brand value that the global market understands, shares, and is willing to purchase. Enterprises gain not only potential orders but also a globally oriented operational capability that can continuously evolve. For the industry, this model offers a replicable blueprint for brand globalization across key sectors—such as light industry, smart hardware, apparel, and home goods—helping more "Made in China" products upgrade into "Chinese Brands" on the world stage.
Initial Recruitment Details
The project’s first phase will strictly vet participating enterprises, capping the intake at ten companies. Priority will be given to physical factories and brand enterprises that possess stable production and supply capabilities, products with visually compelling selling points, a foundation in foreign trade, and a commitment to building their own overseas brands. Priority categories for evaluation include beauty products, leather garments, creative hosiery, smart small appliances, outdoor gear, personal health and wellness products, and home goods.
Enterprises unable to travel to the U.S. in person may participate by shipping samples and joining remotely, with an authorized local team facilitating on-site connections. Selected enterprises will complete data submission and capability assessments, and must finalize a comprehensive set of globalization materials—covering products, factories, qualifications, and brand assets—21 days in advance to ensure full readiness for the U.S. launch phase.
Peter Wu, founder of Xavvi, stated: "Going global is not merely a trip or a trade show; it is a long-term endeavor. Through our strategic partnership with iFeng North America, we aim to harness the combined power of media, local creator ecosystems, AI technology, and China’s top-tier supply chains. We want to help Chinese enterprises that are dedicated to solid product craftsmanship truly take center stage on the global platform."

Painting by Chun Liu
Artist Chun Liu’s color-and-ink paintings have come to the attention of Los Angeles Beverly Arts (LABA), reaching viewers from different countries and regions. In the selection of the “World’s Top 10 Most Influential and Most Valuable Artists” (LABA-MIMV) at the second Los Angeles Beverly Arts (LABA) International Art Festival, Chinese artist Chun Liu distinguished herself through her exceptional international influence, sustained cross-cultural artistic practice, and clearly defined personal approach to art. She ultimately ranked second worldwide, becoming the most prominent Asian artist in this year’s selection.
Global Recognition Through a Rigorous Selection Process
This year’s LABA-MIMV selection was conducted under strict confidentiality. Douglas Ivanovich, chairman of the jury, invited 12 jury representatives from around the world. Each representative consolidated the votes of approximately 200 international jurors whom they represented, participating in a two-week, closed evaluation of 16 nominated artists. The final results were verified and formally confirmed by the New York law firm YK Law to ensure the authority and credibility of the process.
Artist Chun Liu
According to the final rankings released by the jury, the top three artists worldwide were:
First place: Michael Janzen (Canada)
Second place: Chun Liu (China)
Third place: Lilli Muller (United States)
Rosana Largo Rodriguez, European chair of the LABA International Art Festival and a museum director in Spain, observed in her assessment that Liu is a key figure in contemporary cross-cultural dialogue. Her work connects Chinese tradition with modernity through a global perspective, demonstrating considerable maturity in concept, technique, and spirit while significantly strengthening the visibility and voice of Chinese art within the international arts community.
Liu’s placement among LABA’s global top three, and specifically her second-place ranking, carries a clear significance for our times. It reflects not only her individual artistic achievements but also the ability of Chinese artists to participate at the forefront of the international art world through an independent artistic language. The future of art is entering an era of “artistic influence,” and Liu already occupies an important position within it.
“Color-and-Ink Painting”: A Chinese Artistic Language Growing Within a Global Context
Painting by Chun Liu
As the originator of “color-and-ink painting,” Liu builds upon Chinese xuan paper and ink, integrating elements of oil painting, watercolor, and Expressionist color structures. The result is a visual language rooted in Eastern aesthetics that international audiences can also experience directly. In her work, color and ink are no longer opposing forces. They permeate and enrich one another, forming a distinctive and coherent artistic system.
In an interview, jury member and LABA Co-Chair Todd Williamson emphasized that “influence” is one of the central criteria in LABA’s selection process. Liu has not only established a strong artistic standing in Asia but has also held solo exhibitions in major international art cities, including Barcelona, Spain, while maintaining an exceptionally high level of online interest in North America—a combination rarely seen among this year’s nominees.
A Living Example of Chinese Art Reaching the World
Painting by Chun Liu
Liu’s success is no accident. Her creative practice spans painting, moving-image work, cultural communication, and ecological concerns. Through sustained international exchange, she has developed contemporary expressions of traditional Chinese culture. Her works have entered the collections of several international art institutions, and she is regarded as one of the tangible examples of contemporary Chinese art reaching beyond its borders.
Indeed, in Liu’s work, color settles on xuan paper and spreads, while ink slowly emerges along its edges. She calls this mutually illuminating relationship “color-and-ink painting.” From her solo exhibition in Barcelona and the JUSTMAD art fair in Madrid to “The Poetic Realm of Spring” exhibition in Beijing and the international artist selection organized by Los Angeles Beverly Arts, her paintings have entered a variety of exhibition spaces. A résumé can tell us where an artist has been. What truly makes us pause, however, is still that fleeting moment on the paper:
“Color does not conceal the ink, nor does ink take away the radiance of color.”
Begin with a single touch of color in her painting. As it settles, the ink does not retreat. They meet on the xuan paper, sometimes flowing into one another, sometimes remaining at their respective edges. Dense ink lends weight to distant mountains, while bright reds and yellows rise among flowers and trees. A bird rests in a quieter part of the composition, suddenly giving direction to the broad surrounding fields of color. Liu does not fill the entire sheet. She leaves spaces open, allowing color to retain something left unsaid.
Painting by Chun Liu
At first glance, it is easy to be drawn to the colors in her paintings. Look a little longer, and one discovers that ink still provides the underlying support for the composition. It lies beneath the color and stands beside it, determining whether a painting ultimately feels light and airy or quiet and contemplative. The most striking quality of Liu’s work is its captivating use of color and the visual and aesthetic pleasure it offers viewers.
Liu calls her creative method “color-and-ink painting.” Her paintings embody the principle of “giving equal weight to color and ink, using color to support ink and ink to support color.” For years, she has returned to the same question: How can color have a place of its own without allowing ink to lose its presence amid such brilliance?
Over the years, Liu has painted landscapes, flowers and birds, animals, and the seasons. Her subjects vary, but the beauty and harmony of her colors remain the qualities that most strongly attract viewers, bringing a sense of beauty and peace to the world. Liu’s work is like springtime in the course of life. She continually returns to flowers, trees, birds, animals, and landscapes. The same red means something different when it appears in spring blossoms rather than autumn leaves. The same layer of ink takes on a different pace and weight when applied to distant mountains or an animal’s body. Nature offers her more than shapes: it provides enchanting shifts of color and the splendor and brilliance of life continually renewing itself. The beauty of her colors, the depth of her ideas and philosophy, her distinctive creative methods, and her artistic explorations contribute to her influence and leadership in world art. Above all, audiences from different countries and regions respond with affection and keen interest because the colors of her paintings offer a feeling of beauty, peace, and possibility.
Painting by Chun Liu
Liu’s early public biography records her involvement in ecological film and video projects and environmental public-interest activities. Nature is therefore not simply an aesthetic subject in her paintings; it is also connected to her longstanding engagement with life. Landscapes, plants, and animals do not need to carry grand symbolic meanings when they enter her work. They are, first and foremost, living things she has seen and remembered. “Chun,” meaning “spring,” is more than the artist’s name. It exists in the natural world she repeatedly depicts and in the moment when color reappears from the depths of ink. Even when a composition contains broad areas of darkness, she often leaves a single bright accent. That small touch of color makes no grand declaration, yet it gives the sense that something continues to grow within the stillness.
On September 8, 2024, “The Poetic Realm of Spring: An Exhibition of Paintings by Chun Liu” opened at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Museum of Culture and History, presenting 75 works. Landscapes, flowers and birds, animals, and the four seasons unfolded within a single space, allowing viewers to see that what she calls “color-and-ink painting” is not an accidental style but a creative path developed over many years. The exhibition’s title, “The Poetic Realm of Spring,” suggested a moment of reflection on her own art: spring can be a color, but it can also be a way of encountering time. Paintings leave the studio. When an artist completes a work there, she does not know whom it will eventually meet.
Painting by Chun Liu
On September 20, 2023, Liu’s solo exhibition, “The Artistic Charm of Chun Liu,” opened at the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona. The landscapes, flowers and birds, and relationships between color and ink that had grown from her personal experience were placed in the galleries of a European city. Before audiences unfamiliar with the artist’s background, the works had to establish new connections through their own colors, structures, and emotional qualities
Six months later, Liu participated in the 15th JUSTMAD International Contemporary Art Fair, held March 7–10, 2024, at Palacio Neptuno in Madrid. Compared with a solo exhibition, an art fair moves at a faster pace. Works in different media and styles appear alongside one another, and viewers have less time to spend with any single painting. In such a setting, Liu’s color-and-ink paintings encounter people beyond those familiar with the ink-painting tradition. Some viewers may know nothing of the origins of “color-and-ink painting,” yet they can still feel the beauty and warmth conveyed through the interplay of red and black, the gradations of ink, and the atmosphere of flowers, birds, and landscapes. Beijing, Barcelona, Madrid: these different exhibition spaces did not change the color and ink within her paintings, but they changed the eyes through which the works were seen. Once a work leaves its original setting, it must temporarily set aside familiar explanations and stand on its own before strangers.
This is also the practical significance of international exhibitions for an artist: the paintings travel farther, but judgment must ultimately return to the paintings themselves. In January 2025, Los Angeles Beverly Arts, known as LABA, announced its list of 100 artists for the second “2022–2024 Los Angeles Beverly Arts Biennial International Art Festival.” According to materials published by LABA and PR Newswire, the list included 100 artists from 29 countries. Liu was among them, ranked 11th worldwide at that stage.
Painting by Chun Liu
Why, then, did Liu emerge from the final, fully closed judging process in second place worldwide?
Her selection brought her work into a viewing environment shaped by different countries, media, and artistic backgrounds. LABA provided a new setting for her paintings and a further extension of the exhibition experience that had gradually unfolded in Beijing, Barcelona, and Madrid.
For Liu, being seen may mean more than having her name appear on a list. More significant is whether the relationship between color and ink that she has developed over many years can transcend language and become something audiences from different countries and regions can experience directly.
LABA cannot settle every judgment about a painting, but it can give that painting a new place to be seen. Someone who has never heard of Chun Liu may first encounter a field of red, a passage of dense ink, or a bird resting on a branch, and only afterward learn the artist’s name. The work arrives first; the artist’s identity follows. This may be the most natural connection between Liu and LABA. A platform broadens the scope of viewing, while an artist enters it with years of creative practice behind her. She has not abandoned ink because the viewing environment has changed, nor has she muted color to emphasize tradition. She continues to seek her own place between the two.
Painting by Chun Liu
Liu’s public biography lists numerous honors from arts events, cultural organizations, and media programs. In January 2024, she received the honorary designation “People’s Artist,” among other titles, at related arts events. Such recognition reflects the gradual process through which she has become known to the wider public beyond her creative work.Honors bring recognition, but they also bring new expectations. Once a title has been added to a résumé, the painter must still return to the studio and face a blank sheet of paper. She must still decide where the work should be dark, where it should be bright, which brushstroke should remain, and which passage is best left unexplained. In some art-market descriptions, Liu has also been called a “blue-chip artist.” Of course, “blue-chip” is fundamentally a market term rather than an official title.
Liu’s résumé has grown extensive over the years. Running through it all is her commitment to color-and-ink painting. From a single painting to an exhibition, from Beijing to Barcelona and Madrid, and onward to the international community of artists connected through LABA in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, what she hopes people will see may be more than a growing list of achievements. It is a distinctive approach to painting that is becoming increasingly clear. Color is no longer merely an accompaniment to ink, and ink need not define color’s boundaries. The two coexist in her paintings, supporting one another while retaining their individual qualities. With the LABA results announced and the awards presented, these honors will encourage Liu to continue exploring and innovating, discovering how color and ink can keep bringing beauty and peace to the world. From Beijing to Barcelona, Madrid, and Los Angeles, Liu’s paintings leave an artistic language that still has more to say.
Painting by Chun Liu
Later, remarks by jury chairman Douglas Ivanovich finally helped explain why Liu had won second place among the global top three in LABA’s Most Influential and Most Valuable Artists selection; why she received a LABA Icon Award at an Oscars viewing and awards event in March 2025; and why the LABA organizing committee unanimously approved her designation as a LABA Blue-Chip Artist. Ivanovich, who has worked with the Nobel family on arts philanthropy for 15 years, spoke earnestly:
Claes Nobel (Nobel Peace Prize family), guests, and Douglas Ivanovich, CEO of Global Peace One attending a special ceremony with "The Heart of Gold" art sculpture by artist Spar Street
“Artists like Chun Liu illuminate the world through their art, always carrying a spirit of dedication and gratitude toward the world. Through an internationalist outlook, they help lead the course of world civilization. WP1, which I have run for 20 years, will give careful consideration to including works like Liu’s as part of a Nobel Peace Prize team. In the future, we will pursue an application for the Nobel Peace Prize through an appropriate process.”
Painting by Chun Liu
Perhaps a poet in Los Angeles expressed it best:
The most sublime song is not in the artist’s brush,
her ink, her paper, or her inkstone.
It is—
in that fleeting moment,
as she pauses over white clouds on xuan paper,
her heart trembling with an enraptured thought.
A lifetime of watchful devotion;
with every painting, another heaven unfolds.
Indeed, the paintings Liu creates through the art of color will leave the world more than grace, serenity, beauty, and peace. What she brings is an art rooted in the heart, uniting the cultural essence of East and West: “A lifetime of watchful devotion; with every painting, another heaven unfolds.”

Fashion designer and president of Shennel Trading, Qun “Aris” Ai with models and their representatives
In an industry where trends can change almost overnight, longevity is an achievement in itself. For designer Qun “Aris” Ai and her longtime business partner Haiying “Garrison” Shen, more than three decades in fashion have been defined by adaptability, creative evolution and steady expansion. Together, Aris Ai and Shen founded Shennel Trading Group in 1992 and introduced their own women’s clothing label, Aris A.
What began as an entrepreneurial venture in Southern California gradually developed into an international apparel business with a presence in thousands of boutiques and specialty stores. At the heart of that growth has been Aris Ai’s approach to design: creating clothing that feels distinctive and fashion-conscious while remaining wearable for everyday life.

Haiying “Garrison” Shen
From Southern California to a Growing Fashion Business
Two years after founding Shennel Trading Group, Ai and Shen established a location in the City of Industry, California, in 1994, operating as importers and wholesalers of women’s apparel. As the business expanded, so did the demand for space. In 2001, the company moved into a larger warehouse facility in Ontario, California, to accommodate its growth. Shennel Trading Group later relocated its offices and warehouse operations to Rancho Cucamonga, where the company is currently based.
Over the years, the Aris A brand has developed an extensive retail presence, with its products distributed to more than 2,000 boutique and specialty stores throughout the United States.
For Aris Ai and Shen, however, building the business involved more than increasing distribution. It meant continually rethinking what customers wanted to wear and finding ways to offer something fresh from one season to the next.
The Aris A Look
Aris A is a contemporary women’s fashion brand operating under its parent company, Shennel. The brand specializes in high-quality, boho-chic apparel and statement outerwear that highlights intricate textile craftsmanship. The brand specializes in the use of luxurious materials such as silk and velvet, creating collections that are often regarded as wearable works of art. Known for intricate hand-crafted details including delicate beading, meticulous embroidery, and fine crochet, the aesthetic merges classic silhouettes with modern novelty knits and bold prints. The signature Aris A. label brings an upscale look to everyday wear, catering to a diverse clientele ranging from independent boutiques to major department stores. By prioritizing high-quality fabrications and rich textures, the brand offers a unique perspective on contemporary fashion that balances artistic expression with commercial viability.
Fashion is often a balancing act between individuality and accessibility. Aris A has built its identity around that intersection. The label has become known for novelty knits, expressive prints and contemporary designs that bring an elevated quality to everyday dressing. Rather than focusing exclusively on formal or special-occasion fashion, the brand has sought to create clothing that allows women to introduce color, texture and personality into their regular wardrobes.
Bold patterns can transform a familiar silhouette. An unusual knit can make an otherwise simple garment feel distinctive. These details have become part of the language of Aris A. Ai’s designs reflect an understanding that many women want clothing that makes a visual statement without becoming impractical. That philosophy has helped the company navigate a fashion marketplace where customers increasingly expect versatility as well as style.
Designing in an Industry That Never Stops Changing
Few industries reinvent themselves as frequently as fashion. Colors change. Silhouettes change. Fabrics evolve. Consumer expectations shift. A design that feels new one season can appear familiar the next. For the Aris A brand, remaining competitive has meant responding to those changes while maintaining the personality of the label. Throughout the company’s history, Ai and Shen have emphasized the importance of following emerging trends while also looking ahead to what customers may want next. New prints, knits and contemporary silhouettes are continually introduced so that retailers and consumers can discover something different each season. That willingness to evolve has been an important part of the company’s endurance.
A fashion company can follow trends for a season. Sustaining a brand for more than 30 years requires something more: an ability to recognize which changes matter while maintaining a consistent relationship with customers and retailers. Shennel held a gala in 2022 to celebrate their 30th Anniversary and to honor those who have helped them achieve their success.
Shennel 30th Anniversary Gala in 2022
Building Relationships Across the Fashion Industry
As Shennel Trading Group grew, the company developed relationships with prominent retailers and fashion businesses. Over the years, those relationships have included Nordstrom, Chico’s FAS, Urban Outfitters, Stein Mart and the QVC shopping network, as well as major catalogs and other established fashion brands. The company also expanded beyond the United States, developing business in North American and European markets. This combination of wholesale experience, retail relationships and original design has given Shennel Trading Group a somewhat unusual position within the apparel industry. It is not simply a supplier of clothing.
Through Aris A, it is also the creator of its own designer label. That dual role has allowed Ai and Shen to experience fashion from several perspectives — from design and production to wholesale distribution and the constantly changing needs of retailers. From Boutiques to Hollywood
Aris A’s history also includes connections with the entertainment industry.
Qun “Aris” Ai and her team at Shennel Trading headquarters office in Southern California
The brand has created fashions for Hollywood personalities including Cher, Charlize Theron and Kelly LeBrock, bringing its designs into a world where fashion and celebrity frequently intersect.
For an independent apparel company that began in Southern California, such associations represent another chapter in the label’s evolution. Yet celebrity visibility is only one part of the Aris A story. The broader foundation of the company has been its long relationship with boutiques, specialty retailers and the women who ultimately wear the clothing.
