The 8th Overseas Chinese Expo opens, and good things from all over the world gather in Qingtian, the hometown of overseas Chinese

China News Service, Lishui, Zhejiang, November 13 (Zhou Jian, Fu Feiyang) The 8th Overseas Chinese Imported Goods Expo and Qingtian Imported Wine Fair (Overseas Chinese Expo) opened in Qingtian, Zhejiang on the 13th, attracting exhibitors and purchasers from all over the world to jointly explore new opportunities for import and export trade.

Qingtian is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, with 380,000 overseas Chinese spread all over the world, becoming a unique link connecting domestic and overseas markets. This year's Overseas Chinese Expo has six major exhibition areas: overseas wineries, coffee industry chain, good things going overseas, overseas Chinese expo market, imported high-quality products, and cultural tourism activities. It has invited more than 500 domestic and foreign exhibitors, and more than 150 various chambers of commerce, industry associations, and overseas Chinese businessmen and overseas Chinese organizations.

"The Overseas Chinese Expo is a very good platform. The participating wine merchants are basically from well-known wineries around the world. At the same time, we overseas Chinese living in these wine-producing countries also know the local food and culture very well." Zheng Hao, a Serbian overseas Chinese from Qingtian, said in an interview with China News Service that he imports 40 to 50 containers of wine from Serbia every year and is very confident in the Chinese wine market.

Mary from Naples, Italy, promoted espresso and mocha coffee at the Overseas Chinese Expo. "In southern Italy, most people are used to making coffee with a Moka pot at home. This is a more casual and homely way of drinking. I want to bring this tradition to China." She said that she is also a designer and specially designed a coffee gift box. She hopes that everyone can give coffee as a gift to friends and family and spend some time together through a cup of coffee.

The Overseas Chinese Expo has become one of the platforms for Zhejiang to undertake the spillover effects of the China International Import Expo. Qingtian is using the Overseas Chinese Expo as a fulcrum to transform the "exhibition heat" of the CIIE into the "normal momentum" of a famous overseas Chinese trade city.

The county proposed to promote the deep integration of "3-day Overseas Chinese Expo + 365-day Overseas Chinese Expo ecology" and use overseas Chinese as a "bridge" to improve the entire chain of overseas Chinese trade. Among them, the Qiaoxiang Imported Commodity City serves as a physical undertaking platform, bringing together more than 100,000 kinds of commodities from more than 70 countries and regions, with nearly 300 merchants.
