Themed "Global Services, Shared Prosperity," the six-day fair is the first
major international economic and trade event held both online and offline by
China since the COVID-19 outbreak.
The event, which focuses on the services trade, fully showcases China's
confidence and determination to unswervingly continue its policy of opening-up
and increase its role in global trade and international cooperation.
The 2020 CIFTIS consists of one comprehensive exhibition area and eight special
exhibition areas. A total of 18,000 enterprises and institutions from 148
countries and regions have registered online and offline to participate in the
exhibition and more than 100,000 people have registered for the fair.
The CIFTIS is the world's largest comprehensive exhibition in the field of
global trade in services and one of China's three major exhibition platforms
featuring the country's opening-up, with the other two being China Import and
Export Fair (Canton Fair) and China International Import Expo (CIIE).
The fair is also the first large-scale international event Deutsche Bank
participated in Beijing since the COVID-19 outbreak, said Yin Zhen, deputy
general manager of Deutsche Bank's local business in China, adding that the
event will create new business opportunities for companies in various fields.
Deemed as the most active part in international trade, services trade has broad
development prospects and a far-reaching impact on the world economy, as the
global economy is undergoing a new round of major development and changes, said
Fan Shijie, deputy director-general of the department of trade in services and
commercial services at the Ministry of Commerce.
In recent years, China has been quickening the pace to vigorously deepen
reforms and opening up in the service sector.
Data showed that China's services imports and exports in 2019 totaled 5.4
trillion yuan, ranking second in the world for six years in a row.
Services trade has become a new engine in China driving high-quality
development of foreign trade and higher-level opening up, said Li Jun, a
researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic
Cooperation under the Ministry of Commerce.
