From agricultural products and advanced manufacturing technologies, to innovative industrial goods and logistics solutions, US companies including Archer-Daniels-Midland, Rockwell Automation, 3M and FedEx are showcasing their latest offerings at the 9th China International Import Expo, which runs from Thursday to Tuesday in Shanghai.

多家企业高管表示，中国庞大的市场、产业升级进程以及持续增长的创新需求，不断为美国企业创造机遇。
US exhibitors have secured more than 50,000 square meters of exhibition space at the CIIE this year, an increase of 1,500 square meters from last year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
