The fifth China International Import Expo (CIIE) is lighting up Shanghai this week, and New Zealand columnist Andy Boreham is giving us a front-row seat to the action! From November 5-10, global innovators and foodies are flocking to this mega-event, and Andy’s first stop? The beloved 'Taste New Zealand' exhibit
, where he’s hunting for fresh Kiwi goodies making their debut in the Chinese mainland.
But it’s not just about snacks! Andy takes us on a joyride through the expo’s tech and auto zones , testing gadgets that feel straight out of a sci-fi flick. Think sleek electric vehicles and AI-powered tools that had him geeking out – perfect for Gen Z tech enthusiasts!
With over 145 countries and regions participating (including his homeland NZ!), the CIIE is a cultural melting pot . For young professionals and travelers, it’s a golden ticket to spot global trends and cross-border collabs. Stay tuned – the future of trade is here, and it’s *vibrant*.
