The recently concluded second China International Import Expo (CIIE) caught the attention of the whole world. While demonstrating China’s resolve to expand opening-up, the event, which boasted larger scale, broader participation and greater popularity than the first one held last year, has vividly reflected the enormous strength and vitality of Chinese economy.
