　　As foreign manufacturers seek to navigate shifting global trade patterns and increasingly complex supply chains, the 9th China International Import Expo has emerged as a key platform to introduce new technologies tailored to market needs and deepen industrial cooperation across Asia and beyond, said market watchers and foreign business executives.

　　The six-day CIIE, which opened in Shanghai on Thursday, is bringing together foreign manufacturers seeking to tap into China's vast consumer market, sophisticated industrial supply chains and growing research and development capabilities.

　　Yu Peng, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation in Beijing, said China's expanding innovation capabilities and extensive industrial ecosystem are enabling foreign companies to collaborate with local partners, accelerate technology development and bring innovative products to markets worldwide.

　　Danish industrial group Danfoss is showcasing energy-efficient technologies in data center cooling, industrial decarbonization and electrification at the expo this year.

　　Danfoss, a seven-time CIIE participant, announced on Wednesday that it will expand its green refrigerants compressors laboratory by 6,000 square meters in Wuqing district, Tianjin, with construction starting in early 2027.

　　Arthur Xu, president of Danfoss China, said that as China advances high-quality development and nurtures new quality productive forces, it will open up significant opportunities.
