A U.S. exhibitor participating in the ongoing fifth China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) in Haikou City of south China's Hainan Province says he is amazed to see how people in China are covered in latest technologies.
Francisco J. Nunez, founder and head of a creative design company in Orlando, Florida, was in China with his business partners to experience the charm of China's consumer market.
Speaking to China Central Television (CCTV) after participating in a supply-demand matchmaking event on Tuesday, Nunez said he and his business partners will stay a few days more in Hainan before leaving for Shanghai and Shenzhen as planned, as they were attracted by the tech and products displayed at the expo.
"It is very impressive - the amount of technology, the wherewithal to really invest and to exploring new ventures from how to use existing technology with AI, with aircraft and I've seen it from very simple things, from coffee machines all the way up to flying machines," he said.
"From little kids to adults, they're covered in technology. They have all the latest information and I think that not only that, but you're the largest population in the world too. So the consumer products, it's amazing. It's like nothing you ever seen before. The Chinese population is always ahead of, like whatever is new, whatever is next, they're the ones testing it out," Nunez told reporters.
When talking about the impact of the U.S. "reciprocal tariffs" on the world economic order, Nunez said that as the world is becoming smaller and smaller, no country can exist in isolation, and China provides development opportunities for all countries in the world.
"We need each other in order to progress, to develop from technology to development and manufacturing. This is just a reaction to analyzing things that were put in place 60-70 years ago and those prices haven't changed at all. And I believe we're all going find a happy balance," he said.
The fifth CICPE runs from April 13 to 18.
Over 110 companies from more than 10 countries and regions took part in the CICPE's matchmaking event, resulting in signed contracts worth over 6 billion yuan (about 823.69 million U.S. dollars).
