We open with a look at the ongoing Chinese Brands Expo fair in Shanghai. The fair is hosting more than 600 brands from a wide range of industrial sectors. Those brands represent the best of Made In China.

Shanghai has located the best of its local companies from manufacturing to services in a pavilion that opened Thursday along with the first-ever Expo. This innovative street lamp post that monitors pedestrian traffic among other things was designed by a local smart city solution provider.

CHENG ZHONGQIANG, SALES MANAGER INESA "If the number of pedestrians exceeds a preset level, the alarm will be set off automatically. We have installed these posts in Hongkou district."

This laptop is a portable computer for facial recognition. It can correctly recognize 95 percent of all faces. The manufacturer said this laptop is the best of its kind.

Over here, this dressing mirror can help customers choose clothes without trying them on.

JIANG LIBEI, SALES MANAGER THREE-GUN UNDERWEAR "If you feel that the body shape on the screen is not correct, you can adjust it. And by scanning the QR code, your phone will be redirected to our online store."

Companies from other provinces are also here to showcase their products. This water-based paint producer from northern Hebei Province is well-known in the domestic market for its low-formaldehyde products.

LIU ZHANCHUAN, EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT CHENYANG GROUP "Every kilo of our water-based paint can reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds by 0.8 kilo compared to oil-based products. By coming here, we hope our brand name can be known to more and bring more businesses for us."

The fair also interests ordinary people. On the first day, about 18 thousand visitors came to have a sense of China's emerging brand power.
