Release time:Apr 16, 2024 04:11 AM

The 2023 China International Trade in Services Fair will open tomorrow. On the 1st, the reporter visited the Shanghai City Image Exhibition Area in advance. 19 light emitting elements resembling door frames are arranged in sequence and extend forward, making the entire exhibition area like a digital corridor. The digital corridor stretches straight forward and into the distance, reminding people of the theme of the exhibition area, "Digital unlimited trade without boundaries.".

Above the digital corridor, two large hairy characters "Shanghai" resemble plaques. It is reported that the image of "Shanghai" comes from the "Shanghai brand" watch trademark, which has accompanied the youth of several generations of Chinese people. Walking along the digital corridor of the Shanghai exhibition area, it is as if accompanied by the crisp "ticking" sound of "Shanghai brand" watches. The achievements of Shanghai's service trade from 2016 to 2022 are slowly displayed in front of the audience——

In 2021 and 2022, Shanghai's service import and export reached new historical highs, and the trade scale remained the largest among all provinces in the country. In the first half of this year, the city's service trade achieved imports and exports of 102.12 billion US dollars.
