The on-going first China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE), jointly

organized by the Ministry of Commerce and the Hainan Provincial Government, has

brought together world's top-notch products, attracting world-wide attention.

The four-day Expo, the largest of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region, covers a

total exhibition area of 80,000 square meters and has attracted nearly 1,500

domestic and foreign exhibitors from about 70 countries and regions, according

to the Hainan International Economic Development Bureau.

Exhibits making their exciting and shining appearance or debut at the Expo

include the Faberge egg, or the Centenary Egg, which is handcrafted in 18K

gold, weighing up to 10 kilograms; a 57-edge black diamond with a value of 250

million yuan; luxurious Lamborghini with the world's limited edition of two

units at a price of tens of millions yuan each, attracting visitors watching

with great interests.

As the global pandemic still spreading, the Hainan authorities have taken

strict measures for epidemic prevention and control and logistical service

support to ensure safety of the event.

Exhibits entering Hainan by air or sea from abroad have gone through the

disinfection process, and teams for epidemic prevention and control and medical

security are specifically positioned at the exhibition halls and related

hotels, according to Han Shengjian, director of the Hainan International

Economic Development Bureau.

The gathering of global products of best quality in Haikou has provided trading

opportunities both for foreign countries to enter the Chinese market, but also

for China and other countries to sell their consumer products worldwide.

Overseas participants hope to take advantage of the opportunities provided by

the Expo to further develop their business at the Chinese consumer market.

As the host of CICPE, Hainan is an important stop on the ancient "Maritime Silk

Road" and has established close trade relations with the rest of the world. The

island province has been accelerating the construction of Hainan Free Trade

Port and international tourism consumption center since the announcement of the

master plan on this regard on June 1, 2020, vigorously creating an ideal

business environment and attracting more international brands to settle.
