Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the second China International Import Expo in Shanghai on Tuesday. He announced the opening of the expo and delivered a keynote speech.
The China International Import Expo is a cooperation and win-win platform to allow the world to share China's development achievements in the new era and contribute to the building of an open world economy.
Wolfgang Marzin, president and chief executive officer of Messe Frankfurt
President Xi has made a lot of wonderful metaphors
for mutual benefit and win-win in the world
The Expo is a very successful example
President Xi has drawn a bright future for the world
and I believe that China can lead the world's economy forward
Tong Yuxiang, Chairman and chief of the Party Committee of Jiangsu Salt Industry Group
I feel very excited
General Secretary Xi has proposed today a new pattern
new policies and measures for China’s reform and opening up
at a higher level at a new starting point
I think these policies and these measures
will certainly promote the deeper integration
of the Chinese economy in the process of globalization
The second China International Import Expo is a showcase of China's commitment to wider opening up and shared prosperity. Covering 330,000 square meters, the expo has attracted exhibitions from more than 3,000 companies from over 150 countries and regions.
Chinese authorities have offered policy incentives that reduce tariffs on imported items for sale at China International Import Expo in Shanghai, according to the Ministry of Finance.
The sale of a "reasonable amount of" exhibits could benefit under the new policy, which waives tariff collection and offers a 30 percent discount on value-added and consumption import tax, said a ministry statement.
It added imports that benefit from the policy exclude goods forbidden for import into China, endangered animals, plants and their products, and 20 kinds of goods and vehicles.

Stephen Tsang, Minister of Trade, Industry and Tourism of Suriname
At present the world is shrouded
in the cloud of trade protectionism and unilateralism

to send a clear signal that
we are China’s staunch supporters
and to build a global trade
It is especially important for the developing countries
For Jiangsu, an open economic powerhouse, this Expo will not only provide a window to show the high-quality development of industrial ecology, but also become an important opportunity to further integrate into the overall development of the world. Enterprises from east China’s Jiangsu province are looking forward to greater business opportunities at the expo.
82000 businesspersons from 20000 enterprises in Jiangsu will attend the second import expo, making up one sixth of the national total.
Wang Zhengxi, chairman of Soho Holdings Ltd
As a state-owned foreign trade enterprise in Jiangsu
we must not only promote the good products
made in Jiangsu to the whole world
but also bring more products in the world
that meet the needs of the people of Jiangsu
This can be said to be promising
