Resilient Chinese economy conducive to foreign firms

BEIJING — During last month's third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), overseas exhibitors made up 35 percent of participants — up 3 percentage points on 2024 and 9 points on the inaugural 2023 edition — with industry giants like Honeywell, GE Healthcare and Siemens already securing their spots for next year, underscoring foreign firms' growing commitment to China.

As a major national platform for global industrial collaboration, the CISCE embodies the enduring appeal of the Chinese market during its 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), marked not only by increased foreign investment but also by significant shifts in investment fields that reflect China's broader economic transformation.
