Foreigners of developing nations tap into business at CIIE


BEIJING: When Afghan businessman H. Qayoum Azimi took part in the first China International Import Expo (CIIE) three years ago, he was amazed by the vast Chinese market and its huge population, and immediately decided to tap into the import food wholesale business opportunities in China.

Azimi, who first arrived in China in 1998, has been working and living in Yiwu, East China’s Zhejiang province, for over 20 years. Also known by his Chinese name Jin Fei, he is always called Old Jin by others, and speaks fluent Chinese with slight Zhejiang accent.
