Exhibitors of the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) spoke highly of the country's business environment and research and development market and expressed confidence in the Chinese market.
The CIIE has always been an important platform for the global launch and exhibition of new products and technologies. This is precisely due to the exhibitors' confidence in the long-term and steady growth of the Chinese consumer market.
In the AI zone of the CIIE, exhibitors brought a number of innovative technological achievements in the fields of offline real-life entertainment, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and image sensing.
Exhibitors said that China's large-scale equipment updates and the implementation of consumer goods trade-in policies can effectively boost consumer confidence and bring opportunities to related industries.
"These measures can stimulate Chinese families' willingness to spend. Companies will also have the opportunity to use high-quality and environmentally friendly products to enrich people's life," said Takeshi Yoshida, an exhibitor from Japan.
In the consumer goods exhibition area, some chemical exhibitors paid close attention to the green transformation of China's agriculture and said that they would strengthen cooperation with the Chinese market and government departments on agricultural pest control technology in the future.
"We have maintained a good cooperative relationship with the agricultural production technology departments of multiple local governments in China to gradually promote technical cooperation step by step, because China's agricultural market is so big," said Koji Kurodai, another exhibitor from Japan.
In the technical equipment exhibition area, an exhibitor who has participated in all seven editions of the CIIE has continuously increased its investment and research and development efforts in China over the years.
"Through long-term investment and strategic layout, China has become the second largest market and one of the four largest research and development bases of ours. Not only can we meet the needs of Chinese users better and faster, but we can also base ourselves in China and extend our global reach," said Yin Zheng, an exhibitor.

China and Russia held the 19th round of their annual strategic security consultation in Beijing on Tuesday, with both sides exchanging in-depth views on major issues of common concern related to strategic security.
The meeting was co-chaired by Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, and Sergei Shoigu, secretary of the Russian Federation Security Council.
Noting that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, Wang said that under the leadership of the two heads of state, China-Russia relations have maintained sound, stable momentum amid changes in global affairs.
Both sides adhere to the principles of lasting good-neighborliness and friendship, comprehensive strategic coordination, and mutually beneficial cooperation, all of which serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples, Wang observed.
He said that China and Russia have supported each other firmly on issues concerning their core interests, deepened political mutual trust and promoted practical cooperation, creating a new model for relations between neighboring major countries, and significantly promoting solidarity and cooperation within the Global South.
Guided by the consensus reached by the two heads of state, the China-Russia strategic security consultation mechanism should strengthen coordination on strategic and overarching issues related to the security and development interests of both sides, Wang said.
Wang also called for enhanced exchange and multilateral coordination between the two countries amid the changing international landscape, so as to provide a strong guarantee for the high-level development momentum of China-Russia relations and ensure that the two countries work together to maintain global strategic stability.
Shoigu said that Russia is willing to work with China to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, and enhance bilateral cooperation and coordination within multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS, aiming to promote the continuous development of Russia-China relations.
