Inside the CIIE: China’s Market, World’s Opportunity

The 8th China International Import Expo, or CIIE, is currently held in Shanghai. As a key part of China's commitment to further opening up its economy, the expo aims to transform the country's vast market into shared opportunities for the world. Chinese Premier Li Qiang hailed the CIIE as a bridge connecting the world, and an entrance to the Chinese economy. On the exhibition floor, the spotlight is on the future: humanoid robots doing kung fu, autonomous-driving vehicles making their Asia-Pacific debut, and smart technologies offering new solutions for people’s everyday life. To dive into this, our host Zhao Yang spoke with Dr. Zhou Mi, Senior Research Fellow with Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation; Andy Mok, a tech analyst and professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University; Yan Liang, Professor of Economics, Willamette University.
