BEIJING, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily:

The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) will convene in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2025, as scheduled.

As a pioneering initiative in global trade development, the CIIE continues to showcase China’s commitment to openness, retaining loyal participants while attracting new international engagement. This year’s event features a record-high participation from 155 countries, regions, and international organizations. With 4,108 overseas enterprises exhibiting across more than 430,000 square meters of space, both metrics represent the highest levels in the expo’s history.

For New Zealand’s dairy company Theland, its leapfrog growth exactly began with the CIIE.

When the company first entered the Chinese market in 2017, it encountered a significant logistical challenge: its imported fresh milk arrived with only minimal remaining shelf life. With a product lifespan of just 15 days and customs clearance requiring 7 to 8 days, the milk neared expiration upon arrival. Ahead of the inaugural CIIE, Shanghai’s Changning district launched a pilot program separating inspection from release procedures for imports, dramatically expediting customs processing. This reform enabled Theland’s fresh milk to reach the CIIE venue rom New Zealand in just 72 hours.

Since then, Theland has participated in every edition of the CIIE, achieving rapid expansion in China. Its fresh milk sales have increased 26-fold, with offline distribution now covering 25 provinces and online availability extending to over 90 percent of e-commerce platforms.

“Theland has grown alongside the CIIE. We have full confidence in both the Chinese market and the CIIE platform,” said Roy van den Hurk, CEO of Milk New Zealand Dairy Limited.

For participating companies, a shared belief has emerged: to grow with China is to grow with opportunity. In the first three quarters of this year, China’s GDP grew by 5.2 percent year on year. The stability of China’s high-quality economic growth provides both the confidence and foundation for China and the world to share development opportunities and pursue common progress.

Pursuing high-quality growth, China is unlocking vast new potential for cooperation in green, digital, and intelligent transformation. Over the past seven years, the CIIE has become a global stage for innovation, hosting numerous world, Asian, and China premieres of new products, technologies, and services. Behind this lies China’s transition from serving as the “world’s factory” to becoming a global “innovation lab”. The 8th CIIE alone showcases 461 new offerings.

As Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of L’Oréal Group, noted, “The CIIE provides us with precious certainty, showcasing China’s firm commitment to high-level opening up and high-quality development.”

Opportunities also stem from the certainty of China’s super-sized market. Siemens of Germany has participated in every session of the CIIE, building a full value chain in China covering research and development, manufacturing, and services. U.S.-based Honeywell regards the CIIE as a one-stop platform to showcase technologies and solutions, debut flagship innovations, expand investment, and strengthen partnerships in China.

The first seven editions of the CIIE facilitated over $500 billion in intended transactions – a testament to its role in helping global businesses navigate market uncertainties through access to China’s 1.4 billion consumers.

For 16 consecutive years, China has remained the world’s second-largest import market. In the next decade, its middle-income population is expected to surpass 800 million, and its industrial supporting capacity will continue to strengthen. Globally, China means both market and opportunity, so much so that “investing in China is not optional, but essential” has become a strategic consensus among multinational corporations.

During the first nine months of this year, China approved the establishment of 48,921 new foreign-invested enterprises, representing a 16.2% year-on-year increase. Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China has attracted over $700 billion in foreign investment, with new foreign enterprises exceeding the previous five-year period by approximately 25,000. This robust growth underscores China’s continued status as a leading global investment destination.

Since its inception, the CIIE has consistently provided dedicated support and preferential policies for the least developed countries (LDCs). This year, the special zone for African products has been further expanded and upgraded, ensuring that enterprises and products from all LDCs and 53 African countries with diplomatic ties with China can fully benefit from duty-free access. Participation by LDC-based enterprises grew by 23.5% year-on-year.

Through concrete actions, China is opening new doors of opportunity for the least developed and other developing countries. Increasingly, distinctive products from these nations are reaching broader international markets through the CIIE platform.

Amid significant disruptions to the international trade order and rising unilateralism and protectionism, China’s hosting of the CIIE demonstrates its steadfast support for advancing constructive economic globalization.

China continues to deepen institutional openness through multiple channels: establishing new platforms like the CIIE, China International Consumer Products Expo, and China International Fair for Trade in Services; expanding pilot free trade zones and developing the Hainan Free Trade Port; shortening the foreign investment negative list; and extending unilateral visa exemptions to more countries. These efforts foster broader prospects for high-quality development through elevated openness.

During this era of profound changes unseen in a century, China maintains strategic stability through consistent policies, sustained economic growth, and clear development vision. This approach generates shared opportunities for global prosperity and collective progress.

Revolutionary Device Brings Automatic Tool Change, Precision Centering, and Hard Metal Capability to Makers, Developers, and Small Businesses

SEATTLE, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nestworks, a pioneer in accessible advanced manufacturing tools, today announced the launch of its flagship desktop CNC machine on Kickstarter, marking a historic milestone for the personal manufacturing industry. The Nestworks CNC is the first truly desktop-sized device capable of “serious metal machining” — a breakthrough that democratizes precision fabrication of titanium, stainless steel, and other hard metals, making metalworking as simple and accessible as 3D printing.

For decades, desktop CNC machines have been limited by manual tool changes, cumbersome setup, and inability to handle industrial-grade materials, confining serious metalwork to large factory equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars. The Nestworks CNC shatters these barriers with four industry-first features integrated into a compact, desk-friendly design:

• Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): Eliminates manual tool swaps with a built-in carousel system, reducing downtime by up to 70% and eliminating human error in tool positioning. The system supports multi-step machining processes without operator intervention, critical for complex part production.
• Intelligent Auto-Centering: Uses precision sensors to automatically locate material origins in seconds, replacing the time-consuming manual calibration that frustrated even experienced makers. This ensures 0.01mm-level accuracy across every project.
• Hard Metal Mastery: Equipped with a high-torque spindle and industrial-grade cutting capabilities, the machine effortlessly machines titanium, 304 stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and more — materials previously off-limits to consumer CNC devices.
• One-Click Toolpath Generation via In-House CAM Software: Features proprietary CAM software that automatically generates optimal machining toolpaths with a single click, eliminating the need for advanced programming skills. It adapts to different materials and part designs, balancing speed and precision for both beginners and experts.

“This isn’t just an upgrade to existing desktop CNCs — it’s a complete reimagining of what’s possible for personal manufacturing,” said Henry, Co-Founder of Nestworks. “For years, hardware developers have had to choose between slow 3D-printed prototypes or costly outsourced metal parts. Small businesses have avoided in-house machining due to complex equipment. Today, we’re putting a ‘mini factory’ on their desks that handles real metal with the simplicity of a 3D printer.”

The launch addresses a critical gap in the $4.2 billion global personal manufacturing equipment market. While 3D printing has become ubiquitous for plastic prototyping, metal fabrication remained inaccessible to non-industrial users due to equipment size, cost, and complexity. The Nestworks CNC changes this equation by:

• Enabling hardware developers to iterate metal prototypes in hours instead of weeks, cutting product development cycles by 50% or more.
• Empowering makers to create functional metal parts — from custom machine components to precision tools — without specialized training.
• Helping small businesses reduce small-batch production costs by eliminating outsourcing fees and minimum order requirements.

“Personal CNC has been stuck in a cycle of compromise — either too weeak for real work or too complex for everyday use,” added Henry. “The Nestworks CNC breaks that cycle. We’re not just selling a machine; we’re opening a new era where metalworking is accessible to anyone with an idea.”

The Nestworks CNC Kickstarter campaign is NOW LIVE, to join the revolution in personal metalworking and reserve your Nestworks CNC, visit the official Kickstarter page here.

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report, in collaboration with Block Scholes. The report provides an in-depth analysis of crypto derivatives, macroeconomic influences, and trader sentiment following the major market liquidation in October.

Key Highlights:

Cautious Derivatives Market After Liquidation

A historic $6 billion liquidation on October 10, triggered by renewed U.S.–China trade tensions, led to sharp deleveraging across perpetual swap markets. Although diplomatic progress followed with a signed trade deal, sentiment remained fragile after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish comments at the FOMC press conference. Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $107,000, while short-term put-call skews turned bearish, signaling renewed risk aversion.

Open Interest Flatlines Below $10 Billion

Notional open interest in perpetual contracts has remained stagnant since the $19 billion liquidation, with traders showing limited willingness to re-enter positions. Despite record highs in U.S. equities, crypto markets continue to move independently of broader risk-on sentiment, with BTC and ETH prices confined to the $105,000–$115,000 range.

Options Activity Indicates Ongoing Hedging Demand

In contrast to perpetual markets, BTC options open interest has steadily increased, suggesting continued hedging and speculative strategies. Elevated at-the-money implied volatility and consistent demand for short-term puts reflect traders’ defensive stance.

WLFI Token Volatility After Airdrop

The DeFi protocol World Liberty Financial (WLF) saw its governance token WLFI rebound 25 percent to $0.15 following an 8.4 million WLFI airdrop to early users. Although the rebound improved sentiment, perpetual funding rates remain unstable, indicating persistent market uncertainty.

The report concludes that the crypto derivatives market is cautiously regaining stability after significant deleveraging. Participants continue to prioritize risk management over aggressive exposure, while select DeFi rebounds point to renewed speculative interest. With macroeconomic headwinds — including monetary policy shifts and geopolitical developments — still shaping sentiment, traders are maintaining a defensive outlook as they await clearer market direction.

The full analysis is available in the Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report.
