A sneak peek at exhibition zones of 2nd CIIE
By People’s Daily
As east China’s Shanghai is immersed in the joyful and
boisterous atmosphere of the second China International Import Expo (CIIE), let’s
take a sneak peek at the exhibition zones and feel the enthusiasm and
expectations of the exhibitors.
At the equipment exhibition area, a table tennis robot is
being tested at the booth of OMRON. The ping-pong robot was well received at
the first CIIE, according to Sun Hui, public relations supervisor of OMRON
(China), disclosing that they have brought an upgraded version of it to this
year’s event.
The upgraded robot is able to not only perform highly
difficult ping-pong movements, but also provide instruction for the users. After
recording the motions of the users via sensors, the robot can compare them to
those of the professionals and then give its instruction on the screen.
Sun hopes that by playing table tennis with the robot,
people can realize that human beings are able to coexist with machines in harmony
and grow together.
Roboy is a lovely robot displayed at the sci-tech life
exhibition zone. It can laugh and crack jokes, and even blush and play cute. Besides,
he can ride pedicabs, and has recently learned to sell ice cream.
Created by 3D printing technology, Roboy’s limbs are similar
to those of a human body, with all the bones, muscles, and tendons.
Its chest is filled with various components and parts, which,
according to a staff member of Roboy’s designer Infineon Technologies, are
exposed particularly so that people can know the interior structure of the
robot.
The staff member added that these components and parts in its chest
were actually part of a neural network system composed of semiconductor devices
which enables the robot to hear, see, and feel.
Taking part in the second CIIE is one of the most important
activities of the company this year, noted Su Hua, president of Infineon
Technologies in China, pointing out that the second CIIE boasts larger scale,
higher quality, better services and more sci-tech innovation compared to the
previous one. It offers them a broad platform for showcasing quality products
and services, Su added.
Splendid food from various countries is seen at the food and
agricultural products area, such as the Mexican wine containing cactus and aloe
extracts, apple juice made from high-quality apple varieties in Poland, the Hunter
Beef from Australia, and olive oil from Spain.
The booth of Thai multinational Charoen Pokphand Group is both
concise and modern, with distinct Thai style. The conglomerate has brought to
the expo nearly 400 kinds of products, including fruit, poultry meat, seafood,
convenience food, edible bird’s nests, rice, and seasoning.
It’s hard to get a booth at the second CIIE, so the exhibits
have to be the best of the bests, said Dr. Andrzej Juchniewicz, head of Polish
Investment and Trade Agency’s (PAIH) foreign trade offices in China,
explaining that the CIIE appeals so much to enterprises around the world.
PAIH has selected more than 30 most representative companies
in Poland for the second CIIE, covering such areas as food and cosmetics.
At the lifestyles exhibition area, a booth with a good
number of beautiful carpets is especially eye-catching.
The first CIIE was very successful, said a woman arranging
various carpets at the booth. She told People’s Daily that many friends of hers
have seen significant increase in their sales after participating in the event
last year, which was why she had eagerly signed up for the second CIIE.
While sharing her experience with her Chinese clients, the
woman, manager of an Iranian factory producing hand-made Persian carpets, said
she hopes to meet more dealers via the CIIE and sell her carpets to more places
in China.
As one of the 15 guest countries of honors at the second CIIE,
Malaysia is optimistic about the role of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in
promoting international economic cooperation, which can been seen through the
design of the Malaysian pavilion, said See Chee Kong, Minister Counselor of the
Embassy
of Malaysia in China.
When the night falls, the National Exhibition
and Convention Center (Shanghai), venue of the second CIIE, is still
ablaze with lights, telling the world that it is ready for the event.
