🎤 Lights, camera, collaboration! CGTN Radio’s Heyang just dropped the mic at Shanghai’s China International Import Expo (#CIIE), where tech meets trade in a dazzling fusion of global ideas. Teaming up with NYU Shanghai Business Dean Prof. Chen Yuxin and AmCham Shanghai President Eric Zheng, the crew unpacked how this mega-event is rewriting the rules of international business.
💡 From AI-powered robots to sustainable supply chains, the expo floor became a tech playground this week. 'CIIE isn’t just about deals – it’s about solving tomorrow’s challenges today,' said Prof. Chen, highlighting how startups and Fortune 500 companies alike are brainstorming solutions for climate action and digital transformation.
🌐 Eric Zheng called it 'a bridge between East and West,' with U.S. companies like Tesla and Pfizer doubling down on partnerships. Meanwhile, ASEAN nations showcased everything from durian snacks to EV batteries, proving trade wars can’t dampen Asia’s hustle.
🚀 Fun fact: Over 3,400 exhibitors from 145 countries (and regions!) are here – including a VR tour of Morocco’s markets and Switzerland’s chocolate-powered robotics. Talk about a global brainstorm session!
