Expo points way to imports

A five-day fair featuring cultural and art products from countries and regions along ancient trade routes highlights opportunities for importing goods to a growing Chinese market.

The Silk Road hall of the China International Cultural Industries Fair, which opened in Shenzhen on Thursday, displayed folk items made from countries and regions along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and attracted hundreds of visitors, both local and overseas.
