STORYLINE:

STANDUP (English): ZHANG NAN, Xinhua correspondent
"The second China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) opened Tuesday in Beijing. It's the world's first national-level exhibition focusing on supply chains."

The expo gathers industry leaders and experts from around the world and helps promote global cooperation in industrial and supply chains.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): SEBASTIAN WOOD, Chairman of China Affairs with Schroders
"I think it's a good opportunity to meet a range of contacts here in China and take stock of the interconnectedness of our economies. It's a good meeting place, a good crossing point internationally at this event."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): JONATHAN PADDISON, Board Member of Knorr-Bremse Asia Pacific
"I think it demonstrates the openness of China, the keenness to have a connection to the rest of the world and allow us to do business here."

SOUNDBITE 3 (English): MEHDI LARAKI, President of Morocco-China Business Council
"That means if there is no supply chain, there is no industry. If we have to find out a solution for any kind of industry to develop between our both countries in a worldwide range, we need a supply chain. And that's why for me, it's one of the famous and one of the most important fairs that we are attending here. So that's why we are here and glad to be part of this event."

SOUNDBITE 4 (English): PETER BAKKER, President of World Business Council for Sustainable Development
"I think it's critical that we have an international meeting like this around continued focus on international supply chains. China is an absolute leader in the world supply chain, so it's very good to see that China takes the lead."
