The United Kingdom and France at the China-CEEC Expo? Yes – the event is no longer just about Central and Eastern Europe. It's evolving into a partnership with all of Europe. Countries like Germany, Italy, and Spain – traditionally outside the CEEC framework – are now in, and not just for show. These Western and Southern European players are eyeing real market opportunities and exploring new ways to work with China. The framework is helping strengthen China-EU trade, counter U.S. trade pressure, and support global economic stability.
