Hey fam, the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) just kicked off in Shanghai, and it’s 🔥! China’s trillion-dollar import market is open for business, and global brands are seizing the moment.
From innovative U.S. snack makers to vibrant ASEAN startups and Latin American coffee roasters, hundreds of merchants are flocking here thanks to China’s preferential policies—think lower tariffs and faster customs clearance. It’s all about making it easier for you to discover new must-try goodies on your favorite e-commerce apps.
CGTN reporter Shen Shiwei toured the agricultural and food zone, where we saw:
- A Thai coffee brand brewing up eco-friendly vibes ☕🌱
- African fruit suppliers showcasing exotic superfruits 🍍
- A Latin American cacao co-op demoing single-origin chocolate 🍫
Why should South and Southeast Asians care? With expanding free-trade deals and digital trade lanes, the coolest products are just a click away—often at better prices. Local startups can even ride this wave to grow their biz faster and tap into new customer bases.
