Hey there! Have you heard about the amazing event that just happened in China? It’s called the China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE), and it’s a huge showcase where brands from all over the world come together to share their latest and greatest products! 🌟
This was the fifth time the expo took place, and it was bigger than ever! Over 4,100 brands from 71 countries and regions showed up on the tropical island of Hainan, which is like China’s very own Hawaii! 🏝️ They brought cool stuff like fashion, beauty products, and the newest technology.
The United Kingdom was the guest country of honor this year. That means they brought lots of their famous brands like Burberry and Bentley! They even focused on green technology and how to make products that are good for our planet. 🌳💚
Douglas Alexander, a special guest from the UK, said he’s super impressed with how China is growing and inventing new things, especially in digital stuff, science, and green energy. He thinks this is a great chance for both countries to work together more! 🤝
Josie Zhang from Burberry (a cool fashion brand) said the expo helps them meet new friends and partners in China. She hopes they can find new opportunities and grow together. How exciting! 👗👜
Guess what? Slovakia, a country in Europe, joined the expo for the first time! Andrea Jancekova, who represents a Slovak brand called Truscada, was happy to connect with people from all over the world. 🌐 She said it’s a fantastic way to meet everyone.
Japan’s Eda Livestock Company also joined for the first time! They are famous for their delicious Wagyu beef. 🥩 Rei Tanaka from the company said they plan to set up a company in Hainan to bring their yummy products to China.
Lots of luxury brands were there too! Brands like TimeVallée and companies from the LVMH group showcased their fancy products. Nancy Liu from DFS China said that young people in China love luxury products, and that’s a big opportunity! 💎✨
But it wasn’t just about fashion and food. There were also areas dedicated to cool technologies like artificial intelligence (that’s when computers can learn and think like humans) and the low-altitude economy (things like drones and small aircraft). How cool is that? 🤖✈️
Su Bahong from Volkswagen Group China said they’ve invested over 10 billion euros in China since 2020! They’ve even set up a research and development center there. He believes China is becoming a global hub for new technology and innovation. 🚗💡
Isn’t it amazing how countries and companies are coming together to share ideas and make the world a better place? Maybe one day, you’ll invent something awesome to showcase at an expo like this! Keep dreaming big! 🌠
