Influence

• Beijing, where CIAPE is going to be held,is the capital of the People's Republic of China. Lying at the heart of East Asia, it is not only a hub of China's transportation (logistics and information) and communication, but also a hub of international aviation.Being the center of politics, culture, information and R&D, it is an international metropolis which well integrates Chinese traditional civilization with the modern automobile culture.
• The exposition will attract both Chinese and foreign authorities in the auto industry to Beijing. The latest R&D achievements will be shared through the forms of product exhibition, forums, high-level meetings, seminars and product release. Hot topics which will cover the developing trends, division and policies of future global automobile, auto parts and aftermarket industries, including the emerging markets such as that in China, will be advocated.
• A wide range of guidelines for the development of China's auto products industry and intention of mutual beneficial cooperation between nations will be formed during the exposition. CIAPE will act as the "vane" for China's auto industry and international cooperation.

• The development of China's automobile industry has benefited from China's policy of reform and opening up to the outside world, as well as its extensive cooperation with the global automobile industry. With economic integration, China has become the world's 2nd largest consumer and 3rd largest manufacturer of automobiles five years since its entry into the WTO. In this context, China will provide more opportunities for cooperation than ever before to the global automobile and auto parts industries. Cooperation will bring about a win-win situation which will not only develop China's own market but also the multinationals themselves.

As the old saying has it "seeing is believing", you should come to China to see for yourself and attach great importance to the world's last huge market for automobiles. A miss is as good as a mile.
