Expo shows evidence of RCEP benefits

NANNING — Ding Xue, a representative of DeARANCHY, a skincare brand from the Republic of Korea (ROK), has been running around at the ROK pavilion during the 19th China-ASEAN Expo.

The expo, which opened on Sept 16 and ran through Sept 19, spotlights the theme "Sharing RCEP New Opportunities, Building a Version 3.0 China-ASEAN Free Trade Area". It was held in Nanning, capital of South China's GuangxiZhuang autonomous region.

"This is the first time for us to participate in the expo. All our products are imported from the ROK. After the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement, import tariffs have been lowered accordingly, which has increased our price competitiveness," Ding said.
