At the 8th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, the world once again encounters an open and confident China. CGTN's Zhang Meng walked through the national pavilions, speaking with guests from Rwanda, Slovakia, Georgia, Iran, Zimbabwe, and South Africa – each sharing their stories of connection and opportunity.

From Rwanda's coffee and AI collaboration to Georgia's growing digital trade, from Slovakia's low-altitude aircraft to Persian rugs and African crafts, every encounter shows how openness fuels creativity and trust. China's journey of openness continues, step by step, with the world, toward a shared future in motion.
