"I'm now at the eighth China-Russia Expo. The expo's activities are being held in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, from May 16 to May 21.
Over 5,000 (overseas) buyers registered at the expo and representatives from 44 countries and regions participated in the expo. Let's go and see how these foreign exhibitors feel about this event."

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): NICHOLAS, Russian exhibitor
"We brought many different flavors of honey to this exhibition, including linden honey, dandelion honey, multi-flower honey, lily honey, etc., as the exhibition is very important. The Chinese market is quite large, and Russia and China have a very good relationship. The trade between the two sides is getting better and better. We hope that more and more Chinese products will come to Russia, and more Russian products will come to China."
