Student Ambassador at the Expo
British exchange student Max Passey, studying at Hainan University, got a front-row seat to the action. Invited by CGTN, he chatted with exhibitors like a Canadian entrepreneur who raved about ‘meeting distributors ready to bring my products nationwide’ and a Slovakian brand rep who called the expo ‘a gateway to global visibility’.
Why China’s Market Matters
From organic snacks to high-tech gadgets, exhibitors highlighted China’s role as a testing ground for global trends. 🌍💡 One exhibitor joked, ‘If it sells here, it’ll sell anywhere.’ Meanwhile, cross-border partnerships took center stage, with businesses eyeing expansion in fintech and sustainable goods.
For young professionals and travelers, events like CICPE spotlight how China’s market isn’t just huge—it’s hungry for innovation. As one attendee put it: ‘This is where the future shops.’
