To ensure that operations at the CIIE venue run smoothly, China Pacific Insurance will provide insurance plans covering property, machinery damage, operating interruption, visitors, employers, and professional liabilities, and artworks worth a total of CNY25.7 billion.

China Pacific Insurance also created a one-stop CIIE Insurance custom package made of 16 basic and four special guarantees for all participants, including organizers, exhibitors, buyers, and supply chain service providers.
