🌟 The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicked off in Shanghai this week, breaking records with 155 participating countries and regions and a sprawling 430,000-square-meter exhibition space. The event, running until November 10, 2025, is a melting pot of innovation and cross-border collaboration.
🇬🇧 Among the attendees is Oliver Drew Robert, a British expat in Shanghai, who’s buzzing about the expo’s global vibe. 'It’s like Coachella for international trade and education,' he joked, marveling at exhibits ranging from tech gadgets to cultural showcases. A passionate advocate for educational exchange, Oliver hopes the CIIE will spark more cross-cultural projects. 'Imagine studying AI in Shenzhen one semester and sustainable design in Berlin the next—this expo proves it’s possible.'
📈 With over 3,400 exhibitors, the event highlights China’s role as a bridge for global partnerships. Oliver’s vision? 'Let’s turn classrooms into global hubs where students learn *with* the world, not just *about* it.'
