Editor's note:

The first China International Import Expo (CIIE) will kick off in Shanghai on Nov. 5. It is not just another expo in an ordinary sense, but a major policy initiative and commitment taken of our own accord to open up the Chinese market.

Reform and opening-up policies have pushed China to become a “world factory”, and “Made in China” has greatly benefited consumers around the world. The Chinese market has created a huge space for global economic development and provided a strong impetus for world economic growth.

This unusual expo has also attracted unusual exhibitors. As of now, the registration for the enterprise exhibition of the first CIIE has been completed with the results far beyond expectation. These companies will present the world’s cutting-edge innovative technologies and quality brand products to Chinese consumers. The program hopes to glimpse expo highlights through the conversations with executives from these exhibitors.
