So far, 28 of the 33 pieces of imported large-scale medical equipment purchased at the first CIIE have been installed and put into use in Shanghai's public medical institutions.

Rounds of new opening-up policies this year have provided more impetus for foreign companies to upgrade investment in China.

In June, China rolled out revised negative lists for foreign investment market access, introducing greater opening-up in the manufacturing and service industries.

China issued an overall plan last month for the new Lingang area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, which will be built into a special economic function zone with global influence and competitiveness, to better serve the country's overall opening-up strategy.

After the first CIIE, Mars further invested 1 billion yuan (about 141.3 million U.S. dollars) in China, including a pet food factory in the northern Chinese municipality Tianjin and production lines of the KIND bar and Dove chocolate in east China's Zhejiang Province.

"Apart from the opportunities brought by the import expo itself, China's constantly enhancing business environment has impressed us," said Anna E, public affairs director of Mars China.
