Expo seen as boon to global manufacturers

A1 The CIIE is more than an expo. It is a great place to meet outstanding players from within and across industries. We can learn from diverse perspectives and exchanges, and inspire thought-provoking ideas. Throughout the five years of the CIIE, our approach to presenting at the show evolves too — from products and operations to solutions and innovations. This year, we are focusing on our four key segment solutions — industry 4.0, data centers, green energy and advanced healthcare. We look forward to exploring more opportunities to contribute to China's high-quality development blueprint.

A2 The CIIE demonstrates confidence in the economy, with the aim to provide more opportunities for international companies to explore China's market and bolster global trade. China's economy secured growth against headwinds, showing great resilience. It is the first major economy to return to growth from the economic fallout of COVID-19. Looking forward, there remain significant opportunities for growth potential with unparalleled market size.

A3 The CIIE demonstrates China's promise and practice of opening-up, together with building up a modern industrial system, and accelerating new infrastructure development. The opening-up measures announced at the CIIE aim to turn the Chinese market into a global market, shared by all and accessible to all. It is a great example of building a more inclusive economy collectively. At Fortive, we have the vision to build a sustainable future for all with our essential technologies. We appreciate the opportunity to meet our customers, prospects, partners and other exhibitors, to accelerate growth and build a positive impact for a stronger, safer and smarter world together.

A4 China is committed to the people-centered philosophy of development and strives to further improve people's livelihoods by pursuing high-quality development. That is our vision at Fortive too. From smart office buildings and universities to high-tech construction sites and warehouses, we deliver advanced instrumentation and software to optimize performance. In order to support engineers and product developers, our precision technologies also help solve tough technical challenges to accelerate breakthroughs in a wide range of applications.

A5 The continued opening-up of the Chinese market and its immense energy have given us great confidence to invest further. In the future, we would like to explore more opportunities to partner with local customers, to contribute to China's high-quality development strategy and key infrastructure projects centering on industry 4.0, data centers, green energy and advanced healthcare.
