The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) opened in Shanghai on November 5. This year's exhibition attracted participants from 155 countries, regions, and international organizations, with 4,108 foreign enterprises exhibiting. The overall scale of the exhibition once again reached a record high, attracting widespread attention from international media. They are presenting this collaborative platform—"China's New Driving Force, Great Opportunities for the World"—from a variety of perspectives.

Following the opening ceremony, journalists from Peru and Mexico, discussing "the importance of the Chinese market and the importance of the Chinese economy for the world," praised China's policies. They stated that China's high level of openness sets an example for the world.

At this CIIE, numerous Peruvian exhibits shipped through the Port of Chancay arrived directly in Shanghai after a transatlantic journey of over twenty days, ensuring "accelerated maritime transport." Sampen Angel of Peru's América TV and Canal N stated that China is the world's second-largest economy. "Everything China does serves as an example for all countries. I am very happy to have the opportunity to come to China." Sampen Angel believes that trade and economic cooperation are closely linked to social life, and here one can better appreciate the significant impact of the Chinese development model on people's lives. The CIIE is an important opportunity for Peru. With the opening of the Port of Chancay, even more Peruvians will learn about China.

As the world's first national exhibition dedicated exclusively to imports, CIIE "represents an important decision by China to advance a new stage of high-level opening-up and a serious step by China to actively open its market to the world."

This year, the Mexican multi-industry logistics company AMP Solutions presented Mexican handicrafts at the CIIE for the first time. Company President Ricardo previously stated that the Chinese market is not only a new "blue ocean" for Mexican exports but also an important bridge for deepening economic and trade ties between the two countries. Hantomila Avila Jessica Yasmín of La Jornada, Mexico, participating in the CIIE for the first time, noted that the exhibition offers opportunities not only to learn about the situation in other countries but also to discover the latest developments in important areas such as medical technology and scientific and technological innovation. She believes that China is a leader in innovation. Currently, as economic globalization faces challenges, openness is more necessary than ever.

SHANGHAI, November 8 (Xinhua) — Kyrgyzstan, with 15 enterprises, is represented for the first time in the national pavilion area at the China International Import Expo (CIIE), which is being held for the eighth time in the city of Shanghai (east China).

In the national pavilion area of EXPO, where a total of 67 countries and international organizations are represented this year, Kyrgyzstan's national pavilion is distinguished by its red roof, shaped like the iconic yurt dome, reflecting its unique character. The stands showcase such distinctive Kyrgyz products as natural honey, jam, exquisite wool and sheepskin products, handmade herbal soap, as well as vodka, cognac, and traditional, richly flavored beer, widely known in Central Asia.

Among the exhibits on display, the most popular is Kyrgyz honey, which attracts many buyers thanks to its natural, unadulterated flavor.

Having entered the Chinese market 14 years ago, Dary Tien-Shanya LLC, a honey and beekeeping company, has been participating in the CIIE for three years in a row. Company Director Emma Savitskaya, with a translator by her side, interacts with potential clients from both China and abroad, distributing various types of honey for tasting.

E. Savitskaya recalled that when she first attended the CIIE, she was left without a translator and had difficulty promoting her company's products. Afterward, the company took into account and refined every detail, meticulously preparing for the subsequent two similar exhibitions, where it was able to demonstrate the quality and naturalness of its products to Chinese consumers, the entrepreneur said.

"We want to introduce our natural products to exhibition visitors, and we want them to enjoy them. Being represented in the national pavilion for the first time this year will help us find many new partners. We expect very good results from this exhibition," noted E. Savitskaya.

E. Savitskaya stated that on the second day of the exhibition, she met with a significant number of distributors with the intention of collaborating. Furthermore, the company is expected to sign a significant contract during the event, she added.

"Today, our products are not only available for purchase in many cities across China, but they can also be ordered online and delivered to any city," said E. Savitskaya, adding that live streaming platforms have also contributed to the sale of their honey in China.

In addition, the Kyrgyz national pavilion at the exhibition houses a Chinese company engaged in trade between the two countries. Based in Chongqing, southwest China, this company operates the Kyrgyz Republic Trade Pavilion in the city.

The company's staff members explain the special features of the honey and handmade soap on display at the stand, while also interacting with the shopping stream audience.

According to the company's CEO, Hu Qingpeng, this Chongqing pavilion, which was officially authorized by the Trade Mission of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic in China, sells Kyrgyz-made products such as honey, confectionery, handicrafts, and other items year-round.

In addition to the offline format, some of the pavilion's products can also be purchased on marketplaces such as Douyin, he added.

Hu Qingpeng said, "The sales potential of Kyrgyz products in China remains to be unlocked, so we're trying to create new consumption scenarios." "For example, given the popularity of tea drinks in China, especially among young people, our trade pavilion offers Chinese teas with Kyrgyz honey, which are particularly popular today."

Speaking about future prospects, he added: “We plan, firstly, to further increase the volume of trade, and secondly, to present Kyrgyz goods in other regions of China to stimulate sales, while simultaneously assisting Kyrgyz enterprises in exporting products to China.”

Hu Qingpeng's company is currently assisting Abdysh-Ata LLC, which is participating in the CIIE for the first time, with the necessary registration procedures for foreign companies exporting products to China. Ramazan Mashanlo, the export manager for this Kyrgyz beverage manufacturer, said: "Entering the Chinese market is strategically important for our company. We would like to find major Chinese partners and distributors at this exhibition, and we hope that together we will be able to achieve great heights and expand into all cities of China."

Tilek Zhumaliev, Deputy Director of the Kyrgyz Export Center for Export Development and Promotion, expressed gratitude to the Chinese side for its support in creating the national pavilion. He noted that this is the first time Kyrgyzstan has a national pavilion at EXPO, which allows it to expand its opportunities to offer a wider range of products, conclude contracts with partners and investors, and increase exports to China.

Let us recall that in 2024, trade turnover between Kyrgyzstan and China, according to customs authorities, reached USD 22.71 billion.

As trade and economic cooperation between the two countries expands, it is crucial for Kyrgyzstan to participate in exhibitions like CIIE, where all Chinese importers and distributors are represented. This provides an excellent opportunity not only to establish exports from Kyrgyzstan to China and vice versa, but also to introduce advanced Chinese technologies, concluded T. Zhumaliev. -0-

BEIJING, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) urges the Netherlands to submit constructive proposals and take concrete actions as soon as possible to restore stability to the global semiconductor supply chain, a ministry spokesperson said Saturday, commenting at reporters' request on a recent statement by Dutch Economy Minister Vincent Karremans regarding Nexperia, a semiconductor maker and overseas subsidiary of China's Wingtech.

The Chinese side took note of the Dutch minister's statement made on November 6, the official representative said. However, to date, there have been no practical actions from the Dutch side aimed at ending the violation of the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies or restoring stability to the global semiconductor supply chain, he noted.

Taking a responsible approach to the stability and security of the global semiconductor supply chain, China announced on November 1 that it would grant export exemptions to enterprises that meet the necessary conditions, the official emphasized, adding that the Dutch side is the source of the current chaos in the global semiconductor supply chain and bears responsibility for it.

China hopes that the Dutch statement is not just empty words. The Netherlands must quickly make substantive and constructive proposals and take practical actions to fundamentally and effectively restore stability to the global semiconductor supply chain, the official representative emphasized.

The Dutch side must also cease using administrative means to interfere in the internal affairs of enterprises and facilitate a speedy resolution of the situation with Nexperia, the official representative added.

According to him, China agreed to the request of the Dutch Ministry of Economy to send representatives to China for consultations. -0-

BEIJING, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) — China's first aircraft carrier, the Fujian, equipped with electromagnetic catapults, will frequently sail the high seas, PLA Navy spokesman Senior Captain Leng Guowei said in a written interview on Saturday.

Although the Fujian is permanently registered in the naval port of Sanya (Hainan Province, South China), its "true home" is the vast seas and oceans, he noted.

The Fujian was commissioned on Wednesday at the Sanya Naval Port. It is the PLA Navy's largest warship. Named after Fujian Province in eastern China, the aircraft carrier was launched in June 2022. This gigantic vessel is a domestically developed vessel.

According to Leng Guowei, while the Fujian was under construction, the development and testing of supporting equipment, including carrier-based fighters such as the J-35, J-15T and J-15D, as well as KongJing-600 AWACS aircraft and Z-20 series helicopters, were steadily progressing according to plan.

According to a PLA Navy spokesman, it won't be long before the Fujian is fully equipped with carrier-based aircraft.

Noting that the practical operation of many of the Fujian's facilities and technologies will be conducted for the first time, Leng Guowei added that after the ship is commissioned, it will undergo in-depth testing.

He also stressed that China's development and improvement of weapons and equipment are not directed against any other country or specific target, and such efforts do not pose a threat to other countries or regions.

These initiatives are aimed at protecting state sovereignty, security, and development interests, explained a representative of the country's naval forces.

Fujian, which was assigned the hull number 18, became the country's third operational aircraft carrier.

According to Leng Guowei, China's plans for developing its domestic aircraft carrier industry will be shaped in accordance with the comprehensive needs of national defense.
