What they say

I am delighted the third CIIE will go on as planned in Shanghai in November despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Keeping the CIIE this year reflects the strong tenacity of the Chinese economy and the country's determination to continue opening-up. It explains the importance of building a community with a shared future for mankind. KPMG is willing to work with CIIE to carry forward the spirit of 'New Era, Shared Future'.
