As the world’s first import-themed national-level expo, the CIIE
embodies China’s solemn promise to opening-up, and epitomizes its firm
commitment to supporting economic globalization and building an open
world economy.To get more news about

At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging on and the
world economy is tottering along, China’s steadfast promise and practice
of opening-up resonate with and buoy up all those dedicated to battling
the coronavirus, boosting common development and building a brighter
future for humanity.
The CIIE came into being a decade after the 2008 global financial
crisis, as the world economic recovery was losing steam, trade
protectionism and unilateralism were on the rise, and economic
globalization was facing strong headwinds.
Global trade is an important engine for world economic growth. When
the world economy was facing severe challenges, China, as the world’s
largest trader of goods, voluntarily set up the CIIE as a platform for
businesses around the world to further tap its enormous and growing
market. According to a 2018 estimate, China was expected to import more
than 30 trillion and 10 trillion U.S. dollars’ worth of goods and
services respectively in 15 years.
Over the past two years, the CIIE has grown into a key channel for
products worldwide to find their way into the Chinese market. Official
statistics show that tentative deals worth about 57.83 billion and 71.13
billion dollars were reached at the previous two editions
respectively.Along with China’s concrete moves to foster a world-class
business environment and deepen bilateral and multilateral cooperation,
the CIIE has not only testified to China’s unflinching commitment to
ushering in a new round of high-level opening-up, but also manifested
its sense of responsibility as a major country to share its development
opportunities and shore up the world economy.
The opening of the latest CIIE also clears up the doubts about
China’s opening posture arising from China’s efforts to form a new
development pattern that features the domestic market as the mainstay
with domestic and international markets reinforcing each other.Our aim
is to turn the Chinese market into a market for the world, a market
shared by all, and a market accessible to all,” Chinese President Xi
Jinping said in his keynote speech via video at the CIIE opening
ceremony late Wednesday. “This way, we will be able to bring more
positive energy to the global community.”
Rolled out as scheduled every year, the CIIE attests that China
honors its promise of opening-up with concrete actions to share the
dividends of its development with the rest of the world and bolster
shared growth.Over the past four decades, China has been striding
resolutely forward along the path of reform and opening-up regardless of
the vicissitudes on the global landscape. That path not only suits
China’s development needs but accords with the trend of the times in
this age of globalization.
