Over 400 new products, new technologies, and new services are showcased at the ongoing seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE), which opened in Shanghai on Tuesday.
Themed "New Era, Shared Future", the six-day event is attended by 77 countries and international organizations in national pavilions, along with nearly 3,500 exhibitors from 129 countries and regions in the business exhibition.
At its exhibition area, U.S.-headquartered multinational enterprise Honeywell presented a series of new products that are exhibited in China for the first time, such as the latest terrain warning system for airplanes, plastic recycling technology, and products and solutions for buildings and smart manufacturing. "This gas detector debuted in China is mainly used in the semiconductor and photovoltaic production fields. Because of its relatively sensitive sensing technology, it can detect more than 35 types of harmful gases, toxic gases and flammable gases during the production process, which can ensure the safety of production and operating personnel," said exhibitor Hou Sai.
Meanwhile, global clothing giant Uniqlo also brought new technologies and new concepts this year, such as the "air cotton jacket", which used ultra-fine hollow fiber technology to greatly enhance the temperature lock effect; as well as a new down jacket specifically designed for the Chinese market, which can withstand temperatures as cold as minus 35 degrees Celsius.
"This is the high-quality down we use. If we compare 100 grams of this down with ordinary down, its fluffiness is almost doubled, so it can provide better warmth. Here is a small test. It is simulating the scenario where plants sway in winds while keep still with the cover of windproof fabric," said exhibitor Ding Yun.
In addition, high-tech products including humanoid robots, drones, and self-driving vehicles are all on display.
As the world's first national-level import-themed expo, the CIIE is held annually at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai.
Since its first edition in 2018, this expo has become an important stage spotlighting China's new development paradigm, a platform for high-level opening-up and a public good for the whole world.

The fundamentals underpinning China's economic growth remain unchanged, said Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday, adding that the Chinese government is capable of sustaining sound economic development.
Li made the remarks while delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum in Shanghai.
Since the rollout of a series of incremental policies by various Chinese authorities following a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee in September, China's economic performance has shown a positive trend, with key economic indicators rebounding, market confidence rising, and social expectations improving, said Li
The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting in September to analyze and discuss the current economic situation and make plans for future economic work.
Li believes that these positive changes are strong evidence that the fundamentals supporting China's stable economic growth remain unchanged, which demonstrate the Chinese government's capability to sustain the growth.
"First, it proves that the solid fundamentals underpinning China's economic growth remain unchanged. In the first three quarters, China's GDP grew 4.8 percent year on year on the high base of last year. This growth rate is one of the highest among all major global economies of the world. Notably, in China's economic development, new growth drivers are rapidly expanding, with investment in high-tech industries maintaining double-digit growth. Emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and green economy have also experienced robust development. Given its strong resilience, enormous potential and ample room for maneuver, the Chinese economy will continue to advance along the path of stability and progress," said Li.
"Second, it proves that the Chinese government is capable of sustaining sound economic development. Despite the downward economic pressure, we are well-equipped to intensify countercyclical adjustments. We still have ample room to implement both fiscal and monetary policies. Therefore, we are confident both in achieving this year's growth target and in the future development of China's economy," said Li
(xinhua) Running from November 5 to 10, the 7th CIIE has attracted 3,496 exhibitors from 129 countries and regions. It also sets a new record with 297 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders attending the event.
More than 400 new products, new technologies and new services are set to be unveiled during the expo, which experts believe is a strong indication of global companies' confidence in the Chinese market and their commitment to further development in China despite a sluggish global economic recovery.
