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.
