Trade in a tense world: The sun sets at yet another Import Expo
Shanghai Daily's Andy Boreham has been to every China International Import Expo, but this year he's taking a deeper look at what the expo is all about, international trade in a troubled world, and what it means to be part of a global world.
This in-depth, 10-minute mini-documentary about 2021's just-closed CIIE sees him talk with a number of foreign nationals – from students to figureheads of famous international brands like IKEA and L'Oreal – about what it means to trade with a rising China, and whether media reports of the Middle Kingdom as a "threat" should have the world worried.
