Vice premier stresses solid preparations for 4th import expo

Chinese Vice Premier Hu Chunhua on July 13 called for solid efforts to finalize preparations for the fourth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in November.

Hu, also head of the organizing committee of the CIIE, made the remarks while presiding over a meeting of the expo's organizing committee.

The CIIE has been held successfully on three previous occasions and has become an international public good for the world to share, He said.

He stressed solid preparations for key activities during the expo, including the opening ceremony and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum.

He also underscored monitoring the development of COVID-19, both at home and abroad, and strengthening the firm prevention and control of the pandemic.

All related departments and local authorities should enhance coordination and jointly work for the success of the fourth CIIE, Hu said.

The third CIIE received "unprecedented" attention from global media, according to a new report released by the CIIE bureau.

The report stated that the third CIIE, which was held in November last year, gained two times as much media coverage as the first two editions, with more than 3.7 million pieces of information about the event published. Both domestic media, including People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency, and foreign mainstream media such as PR Newswire, the Associated Press, and Reuters reported on the expo.

Of all the foreign outlets, US media paid the highest attention to the third CIIE, with a total of 1,789 stories generated, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the total number of followers on the CIIE's official overseas social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube reached 994,000, up more than 40,000 compared to 2019. Statistics show that the posts published on these platforms received more than 48 million views while the videos received more than 8 million views.

During the third event, six countries - Russia, Italy, Portugal, Pakistan, Fiji, and Hungary - presented their local customs as well as development opportunities in a special section within the CIIE's official website. The total views of these pages reached 14,306, with the English version receiving more views than the Chinese version.

The report also pointed out that the "consumer goods" and "food and agricultural products" exhibition areas were the most popular last year. Many international brands such as L'Oreal, Amore Pacific, Siemens, and Qualcomm received much attention from media outlets too.

The four special zones which were set up at the third CIIE for the first time were also widely reported. The "Public Health and Epidemic Prevention" zone in particular received significant coverage. Multinational pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca received the most media coverage among the companies within this zone.

According to the report, nearly a hundred forums and meetings were held on the sidelines of the third CIIE. These events were also the center of attention in many media reports.

The fourth CIIE will be held from Nov. 5 to 10 in Shanghai this year.
