CIIE living proof of opening-up

Import expo helping poorer countries access China's massive market

The China International Import Expo (CIIE) fully illustrates how the nation shoulders its responsibilities as a leading member of the global community and demonstrates the promising blueprint of China's two-way opening-up as well as its huge market appeal, according to a report published on Wednesday on the sidelines of the ongoing 7th CIIE.

For the sixth consecutive year, Shanghai Academy and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences jointly released a development research report — the CIIE Blue Book. It is seen as a scientific and comprehensive study on CIIE achievements based on massive data and information, as described by Li Youmei, deputy director of Shanghai Academy and editor-in-chief of the CIIE Blue Book.

"Holding the CIIE is of irreplaceable significance to China, as a powerful measure for the country to implement high-standard opening-up and promote economic globalization, Li Peilin, former vice-president of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said at the launch ceremony.
