CIIE is one of the most important events in the country for trading companies and the team have done an incredible job over the last few weeks preparing. With samples for the show still arriving in Shanghai up until yesterday, it’s safe to say the team have been busy!

One of the highlights was President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech, in which he put great emphasis on continuing economic globalization and furthering China’s importation of foreign goods.

“China will firmly share market opportunities with the rest of the world. China has a population of over 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of more than 400 million people. Our annual import in goods and services is valued at around $2.5 trillion. All this offers an enormous market. Going forward, China will lay more emphasis on expanding import, and pursue balanced development of trade.”

“For a boat to sail upstream, it has to forge ahead or be driven backward. We must stay on top of the prevailing trend of economic globalization, and support countries around the world in opening up wider while rejecting unilateralism and protectionism.”

Sinowei will continue building trade relations between China and European companies, as well as aiding a deeper understanding of this monumental market.

Last week, our Shanghai team visited the beautiful island of Hainan to exhibit at the consumer products expo. We launched a number of great brands from Ireland, UK and Europe, new to China.

Hainan’s Free Trade Port presents great opportunities for western brands due to lower import tariffs and duty-free allowances given to Hainan consumers. In fact these allowances are the most generous in the world.

That’s why Sinowei team decided to participate in the trade show to check it out. We exhibited with Enterprise Ireland stand and with the Greenland Group. Irish Ambassador, Ann Derwin to China stopped by to see how we were getting on…The world is starting to re-awaken and China is humming along with it..
