Industry leaders from three continents gathered at the Third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing this week, spotlighting the country's accelerating integration into global trade networks. Visitors from Chile, Serbia, and Mexico told CGTN they view the Chinese mainland as a critical hub for developing resilient production systems and cross-border partnerships.
"What we're seeing here goes beyond manufacturing – it's about creating shared value chains," said a Chilean trade representative, noting increased interest in agricultural technology collaborations. A Serbian delegate highlighted opportunities in green energy infrastructure, while Mexican participants emphasized automotive sector synergies.
The three-day event showcased China's evolving role as both a consumer market and innovation driver, with multiple attendees announcing plans to bring European and Latin American businesses to explore joint ventures. Chinese companies likewise used the platform to present smart logistics solutions and sustainable production models attracting overseas investors.
Analysts observe this momentum aligns with China's recent trade agreements across the Global South, particularly in digital infrastructure and renewable energy sectors. The expo's focus on supply chain digitization drew particular attention from technology firms seeking to optimize cross-continental operations.
