HAIKOU, China, March 2, 2022 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

Authorities in South China's Hainan Province on Tuesday revealed the mascots 
for the 2022 China International Consumer Products Expo, styled after the 
Hainan gibbon.

Hainan gibbons are the most endangered of all gibbons and the world's rarest 
primate. They are endemic to the southern Chinese island of Hainan. The mascots 
reflect the green consumption approach of the expo, according to Ruslan 
Tulenov, a global media officer at the Hainan Provincial Bureau of 
International Economic Development.

The mascots embody the three dominant and distinctive industries of Hainan, 
namely the seed industry, deep-sea industry and aerospace industry. Designers 
have endowed the mascots with diverse personalities, expecting that global 
enterprises and consumers can share opportunities and create a better life 
together through the expo, Tulenov said.

Themed "Share open opportunities, co-create a better life," the event is 
scheduled to run from April 12 to 16 in Haikou, the capital of Hainan. France 
will be the guest-of-honor country this year.

The exhibition area will span over 100,000 square meters, 80 percent of which 
will be set up for overseas exhibitors featuring fashion, jewelry, food, 
medicine and other professional services.

The expo is expected to become a leading platform for global consumer fashion, 
and well-known brands will release their latest products during the exhibition.
