Stability of global supply chains benefits all

While some countries are trying to weaponize their control of key tech to break the global supply chains to their own favor, China is making efforts to strengthen their stability and resilience for the common good of the world. The third China International Supply Chain Expo that is being held in Beijing from Wednesday to Sunday is among the latest examples of its endeavors.

With the theme "Connecting the World for a Shared Future", the expo sets the stage for about 650 companies from 75 countries, regions and international organizations to seek cooperation opportunities, according to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. The event aims to inject positive energy to help steady the global supply chains of advanced manufacturing, clean energy, smart vehicles, digital technology, healthcare and green agriculture.

Over 65 percent of the exhibitors are Fortune Global 500 companies or industry leaders. Notably, more than 230 companies are making their debut at this year's expo, including the US tech giant Nvidia. That reflects the common understanding that global economic and trade cooperation should not be sacrificed to satisfy certain countries' geopolitical games.
