The upcoming consumer products expo in China will be more than just a showcase of latest products and will offer visitors fresh experience with immersive displays, interactive exhibits, and innovative shopping opportunities.

The 5th China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) is set to take place from April 13 to 18 in Haikou, capital city of the southern island province of Hainan.

The expo, a key platform for global trade and consumption trends, has drawn the participation of over 4,100 brands from 71 countries and regions.

Apart from premium goods, the expo will also show quality products for foreign trade, trendy traditional brands, and cherished heritage items.

The expo will also shine with its innovative exhibition formats.

The integration of live brand shows with on-the-spot purchasing adds a new dimension to the experience. Visitors can not only enjoy the visual spectacle of product displays but also place orders and collect their purchases right away, bringing convenience and excitement to the forefront.

At the new consumer technology zone that highlights the fusion of cutting-edge technology and industry collaboration, visitors will have better interactive experiences.

"At the yacht exhibition in Sanya, diversified consumption scenarios, such as 'yacht plus wedding', and 'yacht plus diving', will be created. And the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone will offer full-chain service on medical tourism, including health examination, rehabilitation, and aesthetic medicine," Vice Commerce Minister Sheng Qiuping told a press conference in Beijing on Thursday.

The expo will not be limited to its exhibition spaces.

During the exhibition, host cities will come alive with colorful activities, such as a forum on nutrition and health science, a new energy vehicle island-wide test drive, and a conference on the low-altitude economy, to expand consumption.

"During the exhibition, a series of promotion events will be held in Haikou and Sanya, including concerts, music festivals, and duty-free shopping promotion events. Meanwhile, 100 new Hainan dishes will be introduced for guests to taste the flavor of the free trade port," said Gu Gang, Vice Governor of Hainan Province.

US cannot legitimize operation against Venezuela: Chinese scholar

The United States cannot legitimize an operation that attacked Venezuela and captured its president, a Chinese scholar said Sunday.

On Saturday, the United States launched a large-scale strike on Venezuela, during which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were 'captured and flown out of Venezuela' according to a post by U.S. President Donald Trump on his Truth Social account.

Teng Jianqun, director of the Center for Diplomatic Studies at Hunan Normal University, said in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) that the aim of this operation is to take full control of Venezuela’s natural resources.

"I don't think the United States can legitimize this operation to take custody of the president of Venezuela. And also I don't think the United States can legitimize its any action in taking the oil reserves of that country. This is actually a very dangerous game played by the Trump administration. And of course, the United States would like to take full control of that country and to take full control of the natural resources, especially the large reserve of oil in Venezuela," said Teng.

Teng said Venezuela is not an isolated case but a common practice by the United States. The United States launched an invasion of Panama on Dec. 20, 1989, which continued until January 1990, with the stated objective of capturing Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega on charges of drug trafficking and organized crime.

"We still remember the so-called sentence of the former president of Panama in the late 1980s. And this time, the president of Venezuela will be under some judicial condition (judicial proceedings) for the so-called drug trafficking and some other crimes. So I think this is not a single case for the Venezuela country, but also this is actually a practice by the United States -- to use force, to use so-called justice under law against any leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean waters," he said.
