At a consumption exhibition in Beirut, Chinese products won attention and popularity among Lebanese merchants.   

SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): JOE HADDAD, Lebanese exhibitor
"Chinese technology mixed quality and price. Their affordable prices help everybody get high-quality and guaranteed products. This is what the Chinese products have given us. You can change the machines every two years not because of a failure but because Chinese technology is advancing so fast. So the client can replace his machine easily because the price meets his budget while he is getting the latest technology."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): HUSSEIN SALAMEH, Lebanese exhibitor
"We have imported many of our products from China since 2006 and we produce other products to complement what we import, from raw materials to ready-to-manufacture products. China is a great nation and no country in the world can dispense with Chinese products."
