The China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) held its third iteration from July 16 to 20, 2025, in Beijing, boasting a notable 15% increase in American exhibitors compared to the previous year. This surge reflects the strengthening cooperation within global supply chains, underscoring the significance of such collaborations in today's interconnected marketplace. The expo served as a pivotal platform for fostering communication and partnership among international businesses, particularly in the realm of supply chain development.
Michael Hart, president of AmCham China, recognized the pivotal role CISCE plays in bridging gaps between diverse economies, especially Chinese and American enterprises. He remarked on the expo's success in promoting innovation and collaboration beyond borders, emphasizing that a remarkable 60% of the American participants hailed from the Fortune Global 500 companies. Notably, this year marked the debut of NVIDIA, a leading figure in American technology, showcasing its commitment to advancing supply chain solutions.
Yu Jianlong, vice chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), echoed Hart's sentiments, stating, "The foundation of Sino-U.S. relations lies in interpersonal connections. At this critical juncture, companies from both nations are proactively enhancing supply chain collaboration to ensure stability in global operations."
The inclusion of AmCham China with its exhibition booth at this year's CISCE was a first, allowing it to present innovative solutions and foster partnerships among its member companies. The initiative, part of the AmCham China 2025 Navigator program launched at last year's expo, focuses on leadership in supply chain operations and collaboration with Chinese centers.
Moreover, the role of Shandong province was highlighted as crucial in bolstering the resilience of the global supply chain. Hart noted that since the first American investment in Shandong in 1986, nearly 1,000 U.S. firms have established a presence there, making it a key player in bilateral trade. Shandong has emerged as one of China's most dynamic provinces, noted for its strength in manufacturing, agriculture, port logistics, and emerging energy sources.
The expo facilitates a vital venue for companies to connect, discover new collaboration opportunities, and drive economic growth. The innovations presented at CISCE not only showcase advancements in supply chain technology but also encourage the establishment of stronger international partnerships.
