CIIE presents a more open, inclusive China to the world
By Peoples Daily
Corporate CEOs lauded the upcoming second China International Import
Expo (CIIE) as an important event for China to proactively expand imports and open
its market to the world.
The expo serves as an important platform for the world to share Chinas
development dividends, explore the Chinese market and deepen mutually
beneficial cooperation, they said.
It is also an event through which China hopes to promote high-quality
economic development and better satisfy the ever-growing needs of its people
for a better life.
The second CIIE will take place from Nov. 5th to 10th in Shanghai. More
than 3,000 companies from over 150 countries and regions, and more than 500,000
buyers and visitors from home and abroad, are expected at the expo.
The second expo is set to be larger in scale and better in quality than
its inaugural version last year, and a richer variety of activities will be
held.
China sends a strong signal of expanding opening up to the world
through hosting the CIIE, said Bruno Chevot, Senior Vice
President of Danone Early Life Nutrition
Greater China, who expressed that the expo is expected to better satisfy
peoples needs for a better life.
The CIIE provides special opportunities and a broad platform for Danone
by allowing its innovative products to enter China at a faster pace and
contributing to Chinas consumption upgrading.
CEO of the Lego Group Niels B. Christiansen disclosed that
the Danish toymaker
opened another 70 retail stores in China over the last year after its products became a hit at
the first CIIE.
The Chinese market has strong potential for development. We hold high
expectations toward the second CIIE and will be more meticulous in
planning our booths and exhibits, he said.
US software-industrial company Honeywell was one of the first foreign
companies confirming to take part in the first CIIE. The company has tripled
its exhibition area at the second CIIE.
William Yu, President of Honeywell China, disclosed that his company
signed more than 10 agreements with Chinese firms, some of which have already been
implemented.
At the second CIIE, Honeywell plans to display 30 innovative
technologies. Many technologies and solutions will have their debut in China.
The CIIE embodies a more open and inclusive China, and we look forward
to opening new prospects of cooperation with Chinese companies at the expo,
said Yin Zheng, Executive Vice President of French energy management and
automation firm Schneider Electric.
The company plans to increase R&D input in China by 50 percent within
three years, cement cooperation with Chinese partners
and make greater contributions to advance the building of an open economy.
We hope the CIIE will become a greater success that creates new growth
opportunities for the participators, said Duan Xiaoying, President of General
Electric (GE) China, adding that GE has witnessed, been part of and benefited
from Chinas opening up.
This year, the US company will establish an exhibition booth to display
its efforts in fulfilling Chinas market needs in such fields as clean energy,
urbanization, and Internet Plus, as well as its
strength in helping China achieve economic transformation.
Huang Chenhong, Dell's global Senior Vice President and President of
Dell Greater China, said the CIIE demonstrates Chinas determination to advance
an open world economy.
Dell will continue with its In China, For China strategy, take an
active part in digital transformation of the Chinese market and contribute to
the countrys pursuit of high-quality economic development, Huang said.
James Zhou, Global
Vice President of Louis Dreyfus
Co, said the CIIE opens a
platform for enterprises from around the world to display their visions
and trends of industry development, and serves as an opportunity for
them to deepen cooperation and explore new business opportunities with their
partners.
China is proactively expanding imports and improving business
environment. Relevant measures will undoubtedly create a more favorable
business environment and greater opportunities for all companies, he said.
Christine Zhou, President of Novo Nordisk China, believes that the CIIE
is a major measure taken by China to open itself to the world. It
reflects Chinas consistent stand to support the multilateral trading system
and promote trade facilitation and liberalization, and serves as an
open platform for global companies to display their strength, communicate with
and learn from each other, and conduct cooperation.
