China International Import Expo
China International Import Expo (CIIE) is hosted by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the government of Shanghai city. It hosts country exhibitors and business exhibitors, as well as the Hongqiao International Economic Forum. As the world's first import expo held at national level, it is designed to support trade liberalization and economic globalization and open China's market wider to the rest of the world.
Xi Jinping announced, at the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held in May 2017, that China would host the CIIE starting from 2018. The first CIIE was held in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2018. It involved 172 countries, regions and international organizations, and more than 3,600 enterprises attended the event. The expo attracted more than 400,000 domestic and overseas customers. Deals worth a total of US$57.8 billion were agreed.
Around the same time in 2019, the second CIIE was staged in Shanghai. The third CIIE was hosted from November 5 to 10, 2020 as scheduled, with appropriate epidemic control measures against Covid-19 in place.
This grand import fair demonstrates China's resolve to pursue a new round of high-level opening up. It was a concrete action to promote an open world economy and support free trade and economic globalization.
After three years, the CIIE has become an important platform for international purchasing, investment promotion, cultural exchanges and business cooperation. It turns exhibits into trade goods and participants into investors, promotes exchanges, and connects China and the rest of the world. It has grown into a public product to be shared by the whole world.
