Hotels adjacent to the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), the venue for the CIIE, have seen an unprecedented volume of bookings from overseas visitors heading to the event.
The CIIE is a very important and positive signal to all participants in the market that China wants to have an open international trade environment, open trade policies, and a fair, competitive market.

Today, we are a very localized company, manufacturing products in China and exporting to other countries. We will continue this process.
