　　The 3rd China International Import Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "CIIE"), which will open in Shanghai on the evening of the 4th, is one of the few large-scale international exhibitions held worldwide this year.

The CIIE has come like a "covenant", demonstrating "China's determination" in multiple dimensions.

　　Holding the CIIE "as promised" reflects China's confidence and determination to coordinate the normalization of the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and its economic and social development.

　　Up to now, the epidemic has continued to spread globally, but China has taken the lead in recovering, the order of production and life has accelerated, and economic growth has turned from negative to positive.

　　According to official data, China's GDP growth rate increased quarter by quarter, from -6.8%, 3.2% to 4.9% in the first, second, and third quarters. As a result, the GDP in the first three quarters increased by 0.7% year-on-year, from negative to positive.

China's economy has shown strong resilience, and it has broken away from a deep downturn under the impact of the epidemic.

　　Thanks to this, major events such as the China International Import Expo will be held as scheduled, with the most fundamental conditions and guarantees.

　　Second, "Contract Fulfillment" launched a Chinese "shopping cart" at the CIIE, demonstrating China's determination to help accelerate the recovery of global trade.

　　At present, China's "Double 11" is in full swing, and the consumption power of the people can be seen in the eyes.

The world's second largest economy, with a population of 1.4 billion, and a huge market undergoing consumption upgrades, it is difficult for multinational companies to ignore it.

　　Judging from the registration situation, the "old friends and new friends" of the CIIE are eagerly grabbing the "shopping cart" in China: the exhibition area has increased by nearly 30,000 square meters, exceeding the scale of the previous exhibition, and there are many "world premieres and China first exhibitions"; Some of the top 500 companies that participated in the exhibition last year continued to "lock up" their booths this year, and nearly a hundred companies even reserved booths for the next three sessions.

　　The Director of the Department of International Trade Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand said in an interview a few days ago that the CIIE is a huge platform to focus on displaying high-quality products from various countries. It will create opportunities for participating Thai SMEs to explore the Chinese market and help Thailand's economic recovery.

　　Some experts believe that through trade upgrades, industrial upgrades, and consumption upgrades, the "China Engine" will continue to boost the world economy.

　　Furthermore, we strongly invite small partners from all over the world to go to the CIIE, demonstrating China's determination to seek common ground for world development as a world power.

　　In recent years, the uncertainty facing the world has risen. "Black swans" are flying frequently and anti-globalization is on the rise. "Withdrawing from groups", "decoupling" and "building walls" are in chaos.

　　In this regard, China has fulfilled its promises with a “speaking of more to do” attitude, taking the lead with practical hard-working methods, unswervingly expanding opening up, and practicing the concept of mutual benefit and sharing, safeguarding the multilateral trading system, and promoting the building of the destiny of mankind. The community injected momentum.

　　Further reduce tariffs, steadily expand the opening up of the financial industry, protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-funded enterprises, relax foreign investment access and continue to reduce the negative list... Take the CIIE as an example, the opening measures announced during the previous two sessions have been implemented one by one.

　　This year's CIIE agreement is about to start.

Through this "window", the outside world will see China's actions and courage to "comply", "fulfil" and "renew" China's contract, and China will open its door wider and wider.
