China's firm commitment to continuously expanding high-level opening-up and advancing high-quality development will further solidify global businesses' confidence in deeply exploring the Chinese market and increasing their investments in the long run, said Xu Dong, vice-president of French industrial conglomerate Schneider Electric.

Speaking at its booth during the ongoing 8th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, Xu, who also is the French company's head of Secure Power China Hub, said the grand event has served as a vital global platform, connecting businesses with cutting-edge technologies, innovations and like-minded partners to achieve growth together.

"We believe that this year's CIIE will foster collaboration and deliver greater success," he said.

As an eight-time CIIE participant, Schneider Electric will continuously deepen its "China-Hub" strategy, increasing investment in research and development, and strengthening China's role as its global innovation hub, said Xu.

"Amid the accelerating artificial intelligence wave, we see significant opportunities in China's intelligent computing industry, presented by its vast market scale, massive data resources, and diverse application scenarios," he said, adding that Schneider Electric will export more Chinese wisdom to empower the world and inject Chinese momentum into the global computing industry.
