It's not just the initiative to expand imports. This year, every promise made at the fair to expand opening-up has taken root and blossomed in China's sonorous pace of promoting a higher level of opening-up.

"It only takes 3 days from milking in New Zealand to putting on the market in China." Sheng Wenhao, chairman of theland Xinyun (Shanghai) e-commerce Co., Ltd., said, "a bottle of fresh milk flying over half the earth is a major test for the business environment."

It was the reform of trade facilitation that made it easier for consumers to drink overseas high-quality low-temperature fresh milk. At present, the supply of fresh milk from theland to the Chinese market has expanded from 3000 bottles per week to 80000 bottles.

China is committed to opening up the market and fulfilling its commitments.

Many "black technologies" and "first models" will be unveiled in a few days. Although the area of the exhibition area has been expanded twice, the exhibition space of enterprises entering the Expo is still hard to find, reflecting the strong charm of the Expo.
The fair is the first national exhibition with the theme of import in the world. Holding the fair is a major decision made by China to promote a new round of high-level opening to the outside world, a major initiative of China to open its market to the world and release a huge "Expo effect".

——The fair is a "new window" for China to embrace the world.

Wang Lei, global executive vice president of AstraZeneca and President of international business and China, said: "through the fair, China has demonstrated to the whole world the confidence and responsibility of China, which are open and win-win, sharing the future."
Today's world economy has once again come to a crossroads. Open or closed, forward or backward, countries are facing major new choices.

Higher level - Hongqiao International Economic Forum is more international, representative and authoritative. The theme of this Hongqiao International Economic Forum is "open innovation, win-win cooperation", which is composed of the main forum of the opening ceremony and five sub forums. The five sub forum topics are respectively "opening up, rules and business environment", "artificial intelligence and innovation development", "WTO reform and free trade agreement", "digital era and e-commerce innovation development", "70 years of China's development and the community of human destiny". At that time, it is expected that more than 4000 representatives of political and business circles and international organizations from various countries and regions will attend the meeting to discuss, solve problems and seek development together, and make suggestions and suggestions for the rejuvenation of the world economy.

It can be expected that the second China International Fair will have more business opportunities, more choices and more achievements, and all parties will have a greater sense of gain.

The autumn along the Huangpu River is pleasant, and the world's attention is focused on Shanghai. We believe that opening our arms to welcome guests from all over the world will bring more harvest joy and compose more beautiful win-win music.
