CISCE showcases country's key position in global supply chains

Despite geopolitical tensions and the United States' repeated push for "decoupling" of the supply chain, US companies have displayed great enthusiasm for the first China International Supply Chain Expo due to be held in Beijing from Tuesday to Dec 2.

The event will see the participation of 515 domestic and foreign companies, as well as international organizations, with about 20 percent of its international exhibitors being US companies such as Amazon, Apple, Intel, ExxonMobil, Tesla, Intel, Qualcomm, Honeywell, and GE Health-Care, many of which view the CISCE as a platform for launching new products, technologies and services, and an opportunity to promote exchanges for innovations and collaborations.

Spread across 100,000 square meters, the exhibition features five supply chains — smart vehicles, green agriculture, clean energy, digital technology and healthy living. There is also a supply chain service exhibition area. With the US increasing trade restrictions on China and some foreign enterprises having moved their supply chains out of China, the idea behind the expo is to demonstrate the self-sustaining ability of China's manufacturing chain and how China is still the top destination for manufacturers.
