CCTV News: At this Consumer Expo, reporters found during an interview that many exhibitors found more partners at the Consumer Expo after entering the Chinese market through the Consumer Expo, witnessing the continuous iteration and upgrading of China's consumption scenarios, and also following the Chinese market.

This young man who is busy introducing the products to everyone is Shanka, an exhibitor from Nepal. Since 2021, Shanka has brought Nepal cashmere products and opened up the Chinese market through the Consumer Expo, and the sales volume has become higher and higher. Today, his factory in Nepal has expanded from 12 people to more than 50 people. This year, Shanka came to the Consumer Expo for the third time with an upgraded version of the Nepalese scarf. Nepal exhibitor Shankar introduced that this scarf is very thin, which is for Hainan consumers, because the weather is hot in this place and the air-conditioned rooms are cooler, so this scarf can also protect against sunlight.

Shanka told reporters that to take root in the Chinese market, you must understand the needs of consumers. In the past, the cashmere scarves he brought from Nepal were mostly styles, but now the main products he introduced into the Chinese market have undergone great changes. He said: "In the past, Chinese consumers like to buy a lot of products, but now they just buy some good quality products. This is the change in the past two years. Therefore, we are also doing some product transformation with Chinese consumers, doing hand embroidery on scarves, and spend more time to make the products perfect."

In order to keep up with the Chinese market, Shanka participated in the Consumer Expo for three consecutive years, which also gave him the idea of ​​further expanding his business in China. Shanka said that their purpose this year is completely different from previous years. This year, they want to find a store in the Hainan tourist area to experience Hainan's preferential policies. So I want to keep moving forward with China's speed.

The reporter noticed that the global pavilion exhibition area where Shanka is located has many small-scale exhibitors from Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Mongolia. Through the platform of the Consumer Expo, they bring their country's special products into the Chinese market and take root in the Chinese market.

The "new friends" of the COVID-19: Looking forward to opening up new markets

In addition to "old friends", this COVID-19 also attracted new friends from afar. Slovakia participated in the exhibition in the form of a national pavilion for the first time. The heads of two Slovak enterprises that participated in the exhibition for the first time expressed their sincere hope that through this Consumer Expo, we can open up new markets and carry out new technical cooperation.

Slovak Training and Consulting Biotechnology CEO Franzichek Frab said that he had very high expectations for the Consumer Expo held in Hainan. This is his third time in China and has established good relations with some Chinese companies. They can work with each other. For Europe, China is a big market and a huge opportunity. Even selling only one product in China may lead to success. Therefore, he highly appreciates China's open market and open policies.

Andrea Janchekova, chairman of the Slovak Truskada Creative Company, said that this expo is an excellent platform to connect global enterprises and consumers, and a global event promoted by China. It is not only a window to enter the Chinese market, but also an international stage for enterprises in various countries to share strategies and products and projects. China's initiative to build a commercial bond through such large-scale exhibitions is of far-reaching significance.
