At a critical period of global economic recovery, the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) has arrived as scheduled, with the theme of "New Era, Shared Future", attracting exhibitors and buyers from all over the world to witness this top-level event in the field of international trade. From its inception to the current global attention, this initiative is not only a major decision made by China to promote a new round of high-level opening-up, but also a major measure taken by China to actively open its market to the world. According to statistics, the first six editions of the CIIE have attracted a total of 181 countries and regions to participate, with about 16000 companies exhibiting. Nearly 2500 representative new products, technologies, and services were launched and exhibited for the first time, with an intended turnover of over 420 billion US dollars These numbers not only demonstrate the enormous influence and appeal of the CIIE, but also reflect China's positive contribution as a responsible major country in promoting global economic recovery and growth. In the current global economic challenges, the hosting of the CIIE is of great significance. It not only provides opportunities for companies from various countries to showcase and exchange ideas, but also injects new impetus into the stability and growth of the global economy. As the world's first national level expo with an import theme, the CIIE is not only a window for China to showcase its market potential and consumption power to the world, but also an important platform for companies from all over the world to enter the Chinese market and share China's development opportunities. The 7th CIIE continued to maintain a super large exhibition area, with an overall exhibition display area of over 420000 square meters. A total of 152 countries, regions, and international organizations participated in national and enterprise exhibitions, and the number of participating countries, regions, and enterprises reached a historical high.

The active participation of these enterprises and exhibitors not only demonstrates their firm confidence and enthusiasm for continuous participation in the CIIE, but also reflects the importance and expectations of countries around the world for the Chinese market. In addition to trading goods and services, the CIIE is also an important platform for cultural and ideological exchange. The exhibition area of the cultural exchange activities at the 7th CIIE exceeded 32000 square meters, which is the largest in history. 77 countries and international organizations participated in the national exhibition, with France, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Uzbekistan and other countries serving as guest of honor. These countries showcase their cultural characteristics and development achievements through national exhibitions, allowing audiences to not only appreciate the exhibits but also gain a deeper understanding of the cultures and traditions of different countries. In addition, a variety of cultural and cultural exchange activities were held during the CIIE, such as concerts, art exhibitions, forums, etc., providing more opportunities and platforms for exhibitors and buyers from various countries to understand each other. These activities not only enrich the cultural connotation of the CIIE, but also provide important opportunities for promoting exchanges and mutual learning between different civilizations. In terms of open cooperation, the 7th CIIE continued to serve as the "four major platforms" for international procurement, investment promotion, cultural exchanges, and open cooperation. Through the CIIE, China not only showcases its market potential and consumption power to the world, but also provides a platform for enterprises from around the world to enter the Chinese market and share development opportunities in China.

The CIIE not only demonstrates China's unwavering determination and posture to expand opening up, but also provides a platform for countries around the world to jointly address global challenges and promote the construction of an open world economy. In the face of numerous challenges in the global economy, China will embrace the world with a more open attitude, work together with other countries to tackle global challenges, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. In the future, China will continue to play an important role and contribute its wisdom and strength to the stability and growth of the global economy. (New Society)
