China heads national participations at show

摘要

China will be one of the key nations at this year's Posidonia Exhibition. With a significantly enlarged delegation of shipbuilding companies and an expansive national pavilion, China is aiming to attract the spotlight at the world's most important shipping trade event. China's increased interest is mainly due to Greek shipowners currently holding orders for over 100 vessels in Chinese shipyards, as well as to the anticipated opening of the country's shipping and shipbuilding industry to foreign direct investment and also to its emergence as a major global terminal and trans-shipment hub.
