Logistics Magic Behind Shanghai’s Mega Import Expo

The 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) is buzzing with global goodies – from French skincare to Brazilian coffee. But how do these treasures land in Shanghai so seamlessly? Let’s unpack the invisible tech and teamwork making it happen!

Imagine a global relay race: Products zip via air, sea, and land using AI-powered tracking and green energy solutions. Over 240,000 tonnes of cargo were handled this year, with drones and self-driving trucks speeding up deliveries.

Wang Tianyu of CGTN reports that customs teams used 'smart channels' to clear 90% of goods within 12 hours. 'It’s like a TikTok algorithm for logistics,' one worker joked – fast, precise, and endlessly adaptable.

Why care? This isn’t just about speed. Efficient logistics mean fresher produce, lower costs, and smoother global trade – key for entrepreneurs eyeing Asia’s markets. Plus, the expo’s eco-friendly transport aligns with Gen Z’s climate priorities.

Next time you snap an Expo selfie, remember: Behind every product is a symphony of innovation connecting the world to Shanghai!
