CISCE 2025 to Open in July
The 3rd China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo (CISCE) will be held from July 16 to 20, 2025, at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) in Beijing. Covering 120,000 square meters, the event will feature six major industry chains—advanced manufacturing, clean energy, smart vehicles, digital technology, healthy living, and green agriculture—alongside a dedicated supply chain services zone.
As the world’s first national-level expo focused on supply chains, CISCE is committed to linking upstream and downstream sectors, engaging enterprises of all sizes, integrating industry, academia, and research, and fostering cooperation between Chinese and international businesses. Its goal is to promote a global industrial and supply chain system that is secure, stable, open, and inclusive.
China’s Global Supply Chain Influence
China has the largest manufacturing base in the world, ranking first globally for 13 consecutive years and accounting for nearly 30% of global manufacturing output. This scale advantage positions China as a dominant force in key global supply chains, including electronics, automotive, photovoltaics, and apparel.
For instance, in the consumer electronics sector, China continues to lead in both production and exports. While some assembly operations have shifted to countries like Vietnam and India, the core components remain heavily reliant on Chinese supply.
Policy Support and International Cooperation
The Chinese government places a high priority on supply chain stability and security. In November 2024, Premier Li Qiang addressed the 2nd China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo, reaffirming China’s commitment to ensuring smooth and reliable global supply chains. He emphasized the acceleration of efforts to modernize China’s industrial system and provide solid infrastructure for the efficient operation of global supply chains.
Responding to Global Supply Chain Risks
According to a May 2025 report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), global supply of critical mineral resources is becoming increasingly concentrated—particularly under China’s leadership. While this concentration poses risks to global energy and economic security, China’s refining and processing capabilities in key minerals give it a significant advantage and help mitigate some vulnerabilities in the global supply system.
Conclusion
The stability of China’s supply chain is not only vital to its domestic economy but also plays a critical role in maintaining global trade stability and growth. Amid global uncertainty, China continues to contribute to supply chain resilience through policy support, industrial upgrading, and international cooperation.
Moving forward, deeper collaboration with China in the field of supply chains will be essential to achieving a more balanced, secure, and sustainable global economy.
