AmCham Shanghai president: CIIE is a bridge to China's market for US firms

The American Food and Agriculture Pavilion officially opened at the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai on November 6. Organized by AmCham Shanghai and the US Department of Agriculture, this marks the pavilion's fourth year at the expo. And it's off to a roaring start, with a record 40-plus trade associations and companies participating, and more than $650 million in deals signed on day one for products like sorghum, wheat, beef and animal nutrition. Ahead of the expo, CGTN Digital journalist Shen Shiwei spoke with Eric Zheng, president of AmCham Shanghai, about how the event connects US companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, with the Chinese market. Zheng, who has attended every CIIE since its inception, says the event demonstrates China's openness to foreign products and services, and highlights the highly complementary trade relationship between the world's two largest economies. #CIIE2026 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
