United Media Solution Proud to Sponsor the 2026 NZCTA China Business Awards

On a glittering evening in Auckland, United Media Solution was proud to attend and sponsor the 2026 NZCTA China Business Awards — the hallmark of excellence in the New Zealand and China business relationship.

As a sponsor, UMS presented The United Media Solution Award for Excellence in Services Trade between New Zealand and China, recognising organisations that deepen the cross-border services partnership our two economies are built on. This year’s award went to China Southern Airlines — a fitting recipient, given that aviation is quite literally the connective tissue of the NZ–China services relationship. UMS Founder and Chair Jessica Miao presented the award to Alan Xiao, who accepted on behalf of China Southern Airlines.

The awards, hosted by the New Zealand China Trade Association (NZCTA), brought together leaders from across both markets for a night of recognition, connection and shared ambition. Services trade — from media and marketing to education, tourism and beyond — is one of the fastest-growing pillars of the NZ–China relationship, and it was fitting to see it given centre stage.

We were equally delighted to host our guests for the evening, including partners and friends from across the New Zealand business community. Sharing the night with the people who make this relationship work — over dinner, over conversation, over a glass raised to the year ahead — is exactly why UMS values events like these.

Thank you to NZCTA for an outstanding evening, to our guests for joining us, and to China Southern Airlines — your work is a model for what excellence in NZ–China services trade looks like.
