10 media from ASEAN countries visited Huaihua to participate in the first Hunan (Huaihua) RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) Economic and Trade Expo. "Indonesia is the world's second largest cassava producer, and Huai Hua wants to build a Chinese cassava industry base and a tapioca starch trading center in the central region," Zeng Huiyang, president of Indonesia's "Belt and Road News" said.

"I am optimistic about the development here, and I must publicize and promote Huaiua more," said Dong Bacui, editor-in-chief of Philippine Lianhe Daily.
