In a world clouded by economic uncertainty, the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) sends a clear signal of confidence and trust. Spanning over 367,000 square metres, the expo's business exhibition attracted 4,108 enterprises from 138 countries and regions, setting new records for scale and number of participants, according to data from the CIIE Bureau. Participants included 290 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders, with 180 enterprises having participated in all eight expos since the inaugural CIIE. This demonstrates that China's vast consumer market continues to be a vital source of growth for global companies. (Text/ Ma Ziqian, Picture/Jia Zifan)
