Participants are putting the finishing touches on their booths at the Country Pavilion for Trade and Investment. CGTN's Wang Hui takes us there.

China, Peru, and Canada. 82 countries and three international organizations at 71 booths, showcasing their latest and greatest. Crown-shaped roof brackets, eaves like spreading wings. The China National pavilion features the magnificence and vivacity of ancient Chinese architecture. With trade protectionism on the rise, China is delivering its attitude through design.

LUO YANYAN, OFFICIAL CHINESE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE "The image is to convey the concepts of harmony, inclusiveness and sharing as well as the good willingness of building a community of a shared future for mankind, which indicates that China will not close its doors to the world. We will only become more and more open."

The China pavilion is integrated with the exhibition areas for Taiwan, Hongkong and Macao regions. The area highlights the concepts of innovation, coordination, and sharing. It demonstrates China's economic and social achievements, and the nation's global relevance over the past four decades of reform and opening up. All other countries here hope their displays stand out as well.

WANG HUI SHANGHAI "The exhibitors have put a lot of thought into their booths to lure buyers. At this one, they are not only showcasing their food and makeup, but also displaying a piano, whose brand is the oldest one in this country. They will also invite piano players to play music every other hour."

It's also a great opportunity for those countries to introduce new products to the massive Chinese market.

ANDRZEJ JUCHNIEWICZ, CHIEF REPRESENTATIVE POLISH INVESTMENT& TRADE AGENCY "This is the first import expo held by China. Everybody wants to tap into the Chinese market. We try to showcase to the Chinese customers that Poland is not only about food, and cosmetics. We also have other ranges of products that are high-end, with high-quality and good price."

More products will be shown to Chinese consumers at the expo's Enterprises and Business Exhibition, where more than three-thousand companies from over 130 countries will be. About 5,000 products will make their debut in China. Wang Hui, CGTN, Shanghai.
