Step into the vibrant world of the China-CEEC Expo – where Polish pottery meets Croatian karate chops, and business deals spark over shared cultural pride. This annual event isn’t just about trade stats; it’s a melting pot of stories connecting 17 Central and Eastern European countries with the Chinese mainland.
From Krakow to Ningbo 🇵🇱
Polish entrepreneurs showcased everything from amber jewelry to AI-driven logistics solutions. 'We’re not just selling products – we’re building bridges,' one tech founder told CGTN’s Leonie Zeumer, while demonstrating holographic trade maps.
Martial Arts to Market Stalls 🥋
Croatian exhibitors flipped the script with a *kobudo* martial arts demonstration beside their olive oil stands. 'Commerce needs rhythm, just like combat,' laughed a third-generation family business owner, balancing negotiation skills with nunchaku techniques.
The Partnership Playbook 🤝
With 300+ cooperation projects signed this year, the expo proves cultural understanding fuels economic growth. Young professionals swapped WeChat contacts over Lithuanian honey tastings, while VR headsets transported visitors to Slovenian Alps resorts.
As the expo wraps, one truth remains: In our hyper-connected world, shared values create the strongest supply chains. 💡
