This year's China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) opened in Beijing last week. The fair focused on the digital intelligence and the revitalization of the trade in services. Attendees hailed from more than 80 countries and international organizations including Australia, Germany and the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Nearly 2,000 enterprises exhibited on-site, including almost 500 Fortune Global 500 and industry-leading companies such as Walmart, AstraZeneca and KPMG. The exhibitors represented dozens of the top countries in trade in services.

Xiamen's commerce bureau helped coordinate exhibitions for seven local institutions. The Xiamen delegation displayed the city's achievements and cooperation potential in areas such as aviation, traditional Chinese medicine, language translation, smart manufacturing, brain-computer interfaces and human resources.
