Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 13 (Reporter Fan Yusu Liang) “I know myself year after year and visit every year.” Zhang Yan, Director of New Zealand NAC Trading Co., Ltd. described the company’s fate with the China International Import Expo. NAC’s sales in the Chinese market have grown rapidly in recent years, and the word of mouth effect at the CIIE is without a doubt the best product announcement.
Also associated with the CIIE is the Polish dairy company Weiqi Group. From the initial shelf and trading table to the 36-square-meter booth this year, the booth was significantly expanded and improved. Weiqi has also taken China Digital Economy Express and has continuously achieved good sales through e-commerce, new retail sales, live broadcasts, and other channels.
As the world’s first national exhibition with import as its theme, the CIIE is an important window for the world to look at China and share opportunities, as well as a vivid portrait of China’s promotion of mutually beneficial cooperation. Against the background of the global spread of the new corona epidemic and the dire international economic and business situation, in the “Clover” showroom, companies, large or small, and exhibitors, regardless of things, are heading towards the East with total enthusiasm.

Destiny contains opportunities
For companies wishing to put down roots in China, the CIIE is an opportunity to increase understanding. Lin Chuqin, Chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce in Thailand, said: “Many Thai products are not yet familiar with the Chinese market. This platform enables the Chinese market to learn more about Thai products and also enables Thai companies to better understand the specific needs of the Chinese market. “
For companies eager to delve deeper into the Chinese market, the CIIE is a good opportunity for business expansion. Shen Dali, President of Honeywell’s Global High-Growth Regions, said CIIE is an important part of multinational companies’ participation in the “China Story.” “China is not only an export market, but also an important place for manufacturing and innovation. We are striving to better exploit the enormous opportunities provided by the vitality of the Chinese market,” he said.
For companies that have been affected by the epidemic, CIIE is hope in a crisis. Antonio Bonnet, president of the Spanish Exporters and Investors Club, said that from January to August this year, total exports from Spain fell by approximately 14%. What’s weird is that exports to China increased by 18% over the same period, which is helpful for trade with China. The Spanish economy came out of trouble.

Chance to achieve a win-win situation
In the twilight of the epidemic, the CIIE delivered a dazzling “transcript”: the cumulative intention to trade $ 72.62 billion, a 2.1% increase over the previous session. This is an international economic and commercial event with the largest scale, the largest number of participating countries, and the combination of online and offline operations in China under the standardization of epidemic prevention and control conditions.
An article posted on the British government website claimed that during this year’s CIIE, British companies signed more than 430 million pounds (approximately 3.75 billion yuan) in orders with the Chinese side. In addition to business orders that can directly benefit the British economy, the CIIE has also provided thousands of business opportunities for British and Chinese companies.
Sagan, an official at the Thai Ministry of Commerce, said that the CIIE, on the one hand, deepened understanding between Thai and Chinese companies and promoted bilateral trade exchanges, and on the other hand attracted companies from all over the world to participate in the exhibition, which played a very positive role in promoting global trade. .

The importance of the Chinese market has long exceeded the trade in pure commodities, and more and more innovative research and development is emerging here. Novo Nordisk, a Danish-based biopharmaceutical company, signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Danone Group plans to invest more in China to establish an open scientific research center in Shanghai and establish special nutrition production bases in Qingdao and Wuxi.
The “new” meaning of the CIIE will give companies more reason to be optimistic about China. In visible traditional fields, business contacts are in full swing. On the invisible “cloud” side, industrial interconnection and smart manufacturing have added “digital wings” to the CIIE. In the service trade exhibition area, although there are no physical goods, the services available for trade actually exist. The “Cloud Docking” event held in Bangkok turned exhibitors who could not visit the site as if they were on the scene, opening a new channel for corporate cooperation.
Open to convey confidence
“The Chinese market is too important,” exclaimed CIIE participating companies. Currently, the world economy is in deep recession, and global supply and demand are suffering severely. China’s economic growth has turned from negative to positive, demand has continued to pick up and foreign trade has recovered well. Over the next 10 years, China’s cumulative merchandise imports are forecast to exceed US $ 22 trillion.
The website of American diplomats believes that China is one of the first countries to recover from the epidemic. Holding such an international event itself demonstrates the results of China’s epidemic prevention and control, and also demonstrates China’s economic recovery.
The Chinese market with a population of 1.4 billion and a large middle-income group will surely become a world market, a shared market and a market for all, creating more opportunities for the development of all countries.
Focusing on the present, China successfully hosted the CIIE, playing an open and win-win movement. Looking ahead, under the new “dual cycle” development pattern, China’s domestic market and international market will achieve better connectivity, which will not only promote the high-quality development of China’s economy, but also it will benefit the world.
