Hey there! 😊 Have you heard about the big event happening in China? It’s called the China-South Asia Expo, and it’s a huge gathering where countries come together to trade and make friends! 🤝
This expo is like a giant marketplace where people from China, South Asia, and Southeast Asia share cool things like green technology and digital gadgets. 🌱💻 Bui Lien Thao, a specialist from Vietnam, said that her country loves working with China to grow and build new things together. 🚀
Lots of people came to the expo this year. Over 2,500 companies showed off their products in 16 big halls! That’s a lot of walking! 🏃♂️🏃♀️ They had everything from green energy solutions to yummy coffee and even traditional Chinese medicine. ☕️🌿
One visitor named MD Samrat Babor from Bangladesh was excited to see the latest LED light bulbs made in China. 💡 He said these lights are becoming super popular back home, and he wants to bring more energy-saving bulbs to his country. How cool is that? 😎
China is helping its neighboring countries by making it easier for them to sell their products. For example, China doesn’t charge extra taxes on certain goods from countries like Afghanistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. This helps traders like Ali Azghar Faiz from Afghanistan bring beautiful carpets to Chinese markets. 🧶 He hopes to share Afghan culture and products with more people in China. 🕌
The expo started in 2013, the same year China introduced the Belt and Road Initiative, which is all about connecting different countries through trade and infrastructure. 🌐 Since then, the expo has helped make over $110 billion in trade deals! That’s a lot of zeros! 💰
Trade between China and South Asian countries has grown a lot, nearly reaching $200 billion, which is double what it was ten years ago. 📈 Vice Minister of Commerce Yan Dong said that China wants to keep working closely with other countries to make the world a better place for everyone. 🌏
Even companies from places like Dubai are joining in! Forevermore Flower Trading signed a big deal to buy beautiful flowers from Yunnan, China. 🌷 They believe these lovely flowers will bring joy to people in the Middle East. 🌺
Isn’t it amazing how countries can come together to share ideas, products, and friendship? Maybe one day, you’ll be part of something big like this too! 😊
