Today’s China has already transitioned into a world market from a world factory. At the second China International Import Expo (CIIE) held in Shanghai in early November, over 3,800 enterprises and more than 500,000 professional buyers from home and abroad together formed the largest procurement and supply platform in the world.

THIS year, the second China International Import Expo (CIIE) not only continued the work of the Chinese government in escalating its opening-up policy, but also was held during the year the country celebrates the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

ON the morning of November 7, a Shanghai resident Su Meijin visited the food and agricultural products exhibition area of the second China International Import Expo (CIIE). She had a specific objective in mind and headed streight over to the area that was selling imported meat. After tasting what was on offer, she decided to go for the Angus beef from Australia. “My family likes to eat beef, and since CIIE is held in Shanghai, it gives us more choices for imported beef,” said Su.

JOSEPH Romanelli was extremely busy during the second China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai. The global senior vice president and China region president of the U.S.-based pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., Inc. (also known as MSD) dealt with a flood of orders that came in for its new tumor immunotherapy drug PD-1 inhibitor. It has a significant therapeutic effect on tumors and attracted much interest from buyers in the medical field at the expo that took place from November 5 to 10. “China’s medical market has huge potential, and I am very optimistic about the Chinese market,” said Romanelli.

SMART home, intelligent transportation, service robots, and customized beauty instrument, all these hi-tech exhibits and services closely related to people’s daily life were the highlights showcased at the second China International Import Expo (CIIE).

FRENCH red wine, Russian dairy products, and South American coffee — these are just a small sample of the ever increasing number of high-quality products entering the lives of Chinese consumers through the China International Import Expo (CIIE), creating new business opportunities for global enterprises to enter the Chinese market.

THE rise of a bloc of emerging economies since the turn of the millennium has polarized attention throughout the international community.

WE are currently witnessing a restructuring of the world economy connected with its transition to a new technological paradigm.

FOR a long time, agricultural development and food production in Africa have been severely constrained due to various reasons.

SEEDS are the matrix of agriculture. The seed is to grain production what chips are to the technology industry.

THE consecutive bumper harvest of China’s grain industry is largely the result of a modern agricultural industry driven by intelligent systems.
