SHANGHAI -- Foreign companies are hoping to capture more of the improving demand in China, where the COVID-19 outbreak has largely been brought under control.

Beijing is using the China International Import Expo, a brainchild of President Xi Jinping, to boost foreign trade and drive domestic growth. Held for the third time since 2018, expo organizers are projecting about 400,000 visitors to the six-day event.
