NEARLY 180 American firms have signed up for the first China International Import Expo (CIIE) despite the on-going tariffs dispute between the world’s two largest economies.

The U.S. firms will cover fields such as high-end manufacturing, intelligent equipment, agricultural products, culture and sports.

The six-day CIIE is a symbol of the win-win cooperation China has long championed in handling foreign relations, noted Robert Kuhn, a leading Chinese expert and chairman of the Kuhn Foundation.
