With the annual China International Import Expo becoming an advanced platform for the country to enrich its industrial and supply chains, it is time for the organizers to expand the role of trade in technologies to further fuel the growth of the nation's dual-circulation development paradigm, said government officials and economists on Thursday. Zhou Hanmin, vice-chairman of the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that apart from facilitating business activities in the areas of trade in goods and services, the CIIE's organizers should expand exhibition space for trade in technologies to meet domestic companies' needs for enhancing competitiveness. Echoing this positive sentiment, Arthur Xu, president of the China unit at Danfoss Group, a Danish engineering company, said that the CIIE demonstrates China's strong commitment to promoting international communication and connectivity. "Danfoss has made solid achievements during previous CIIEs, which gives us strong confidence in this year's event in November," he said, adding the group will bring its latest energy efficiency solutions and practices, especially in the area of electrification, to its Chinese partners in the Danish pavilion in Shanghai, with a purpose of speeding up the green transition of industries in China.
