China’s role as the world’s manufacturing powerhouse is driving innovation in global supply chains, according to Rafael Suchan, CEO of Germany-based Vastalta Circular Technology. At the China International Supply Chain Expo 2024, Suchan highlighted the country’s leadership in smart manufacturing, digital tech, and clean energy solutions.
\"China isn’t just a factory—it’s shaping the future of how industries connect,\" he told CGTN, comparing supply chain networks to a \"global puzzle\" where every piece matters.
Suchan also applauded China’s recent simplified visa policies, which have made it easier for international professionals to attend events like the expo. \"When barriers drop, ideas flow faster,\" he said, noting increased collaboration opportunities for startups and established firms alike.
