China's big market, the world's big stage

The enterprise commercial exhibition has six exhibition areas, including food and agricultural products exhibition area, automobile exhibition area, technical equipment exhibition area, consumer goods exhibition area, medical equipment and medical care exhibition area and service trade exhibition area.

New global products are launched here, cutting-edge technologies are exhibited here for the first time, and innovative services are promoted here for the first time. The time for entering the Expo to open the "Oriental Pact" and let enterprises from all countries gather here has long been a vivid reflection of China's initiative to strengthen international cooperation and practice mutual benefit and win-win results.

Over the past five years, the cooperation in the Expo has yielded fruitful results, highlighting China's commitment to opening up and enhancing the confidence of all countries to overcome difficulties. According to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce, the exhibitors of the first four sessions of the Expo released more than 1500 new products, new technologies and new services, and the accumulative turnover of intention exceeded 270 billion dollars; The first three sessions of the Expo alone led to 622 foreign investment projects, with an investment amount of about 30.5 billion US dollars.

Expand the "circle of friends" of the new bonus of Jinbo

As the world's second largest economy, China's sustainable development has brought a series of opportunities to the world. In the decade of the new era, China has taken the initiative to expand imports, relax market access, optimize the business environment, comprehensively expand the breadth and depth of opening up, and form a pattern of opening up to the outside world in a wider range, broader fields, and deeper levels.

Since the RCEP came into effect this year, regional national enterprises have made positive use of tariff concessions, rules of origin accumulation, trade facilitation measures, etc., and gained tangible benefits, which is undoubtedly more conducive to the majority of foreign-funded enterprises coming to China for development.

"China is more important than ever in promoting global opening up. We hope that China will play a more important role in multilateral trade and promote the development of multilateralism." At the high-level forum on "RCEP and Higher Level Opening" held during the Expo, Secretary General of UNCTAD Greenspan said that under the circumstances of declining global openness, rising trade costs and bottlenecks in the supply chain, RCEP promotes the development of trade integration in East Asia and the Asia Pacific region, helps promote regional and even world opening and cooperation, and contributes to the development of the world economy.

With the high level of opening up, foreign enterprises have come in droves and the "circle of friends" of the Expo has been expanding.

"China is an important market for Canada Goose, and the Expo is an important platform to showcase corporate brands, products and participate in China's sustainable growth. We are very honored to be a new member of the Expo." Dani Reiss, Chairman and CEO of Canada Goose, said that he would continue to make meaningful long-term investments in China and believed that there would be broad prospects for development in the Chinese market.

In the artificial intelligence exhibition area, Unity China has built a booth with the theme of "the realm of life". Unity is a world-renowned real-time 3D content and creation platform. In August this year, Unity set up a joint venture in China, Unity China.

According to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data, Unity China, as an enterprise originating in the United States, is a new face in the Expo, but has made preparations for this exhibition for a long time, focusing on the different applications of 3D technology in various fields. According to Zhang Junbo, president and CEO of Unity China, this year's Expo will add artificial intelligence special zones around the two themes of the meta universe and smart city, which provides a platform for centralized display and trading of advanced technology products, and also becomes an opportunity for them to participate in the Expo.

We meet every year to enter the Expo, and old friends and new friends have different dates. The Expo is a distinctive symbol of China's unswerving expansion and opening up. In the new era, the CPC will lead more than 400 million Chinese people on the journey of modernization. This will inject more impetus into global development, and will certainly share more dividends of China's development with the world, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.
