Xi Focus: Unlocking a vast market for the world-
SHANGHAI, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- After a journey of more than two months across continents and oceans, machinery from WFL Millturn Technologies cleared customs in Shanghai last month for this year's China International Import Expo (CIIE), carrying the Austrian manufacturer's hopes of expanding further into Chinese and wider Asia-Pacific markets.
"I don't see any good reason why we will not be successful in China in the upcoming decades," said WFL Managing Director Stefan Hackl. His company will make a double debut: its first appearance at the import expo after more than 20 years in the Chinese market, and the Asian debut of its brand-new machine tool.
The company's confidence is rooted in part in the vision behind the CIIE, an initiative championed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has personally planned and steered its development. Designed to give overseas businesses greater access to the vast and growing Chinese market, the expo has increasingly turned China's development into opportunities for the world.
