Visitors experienced Shanghai's technological innovation through a C919 passenger jet model, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and popular Chinese cultural and creative IPs, with VR headsets provided by the Shanghai Museum for a virtual journey through the city's past and present.
The event also included an IP SHANGHAI lenticular art exhibition, time-honored Shanghai brands, and an outdoor concert featuring Chinese and American artists performing a song celebrating friendship between the two countries. The dialogue session, titled "Invest in China for a Win-Win Future," highlighted Shanghai's development as an international economic, financial, trade, shipping and technological innovation center, showcasing the city's world-class business environment and providing a platform for high-level dialogue between Chinese and U.S. companies.
