【就CIMT2021籌備進展情況 主辦方接受美國AMT遠程專訪】
CIMT2021（第十七屆中國國際機床展覽會）將于2021年4月12-17日在北京中國國際展覽中心（新館）舉辦。展會主辦方中國機床工具工業協會于2020年6月正式啟動CIMT2021招展工作，截至目前招展和籌備工作進展順利。
受新冠疫情影響，全球四大知名國際機床展的IMTS2020（美國芝加哥國際機械制造技術展覽會）和日本JIMTOF2020（日本國際機床展覽會）先后宣布停止舉辦，就像中國機床工具工業協會主辦的CCMT2020（第十一屆中國數控機床展覽會）被迫停止舉辦一樣。為了彌補展會停辦的遺憾，加強與展商和觀眾的聯系，為制造業群體提供最前沿的技術信息，IMTS展會主辦方美國AMT開設了全新的線上展示平臺——IMTS Spark（鏈接：https://www.imts.com/spark/），邀請IMTS展商和全球為數不多具有較高影響力的專業展覽會在該平臺進行展示、推介和交流。Spark每周將介紹新的會議、產品演示、技術演示、社交機會等等，并開設一個名為“國家展望”的系列視頻采訪節目，向觀眾介紹世界各地最具代表性的大型金屬加工展覽會。在Spark計劃播出的“國家展望：目的地中國”系列采訪中，他們特別關注了中國CIMT和CCMT展會，并邀請主辦方中國機床工具工業協會相關負責人參加訪談。
據了解，IMTS Spark將進行為期7個月的線上展示，一直持續到2021年3月15日。
為了加強在全球范圍內對CIMT2021展會的宣傳推廣，加深與全球合作伙伴、廣大展商和專業觀眾的溝通和交流，中國機床工具工業協會秘書長王黎明日前接受了IMTS Spark的遠程視頻專訪，就當前經濟形勢、CIMT展會和主辦方的基本概況、CIMT2021籌備進展情況、疫情防控措施及國際合作等問題回答了記者提問。
以下是AMT采訪視頻。
據悉，王黎明秘書長還接受了日本東京JIMTOF展會主辦方的書面采訪，談到了中國機床工具市場及運行情況，CIMT2021展會籌備情況，以及為應對新冠肺炎疫情所采取的有效措施等。
下面是訪談內容（中英文），供參考。
（中文）
BILL HERMAN：
早上好，歡迎收看IMTS Spark國際展會最新資訊。今天，我們聚焦即將在中國北京舉辦的CIMT展會。該展會由我們的合作伙伴中國機床工具工業協會CMTBA主辦。多年來，AMT在CMTBA主辦的兩個中國展會上組織美國展團。CIMT，每奇數年在北京舉行，CCMT，每偶數年在上海舉行。這兩個展會是中國最大的同類展會之一，為參展的AMT成員公司提供了強大的客戶資源。
我們今天的嘉賓是CMTBA秘書長王黎明先生。王先生是中國金切標準化技術委員會副主任委員，也是中國會展業標準化技術委員會委員。除此之外，王先生是AMT二十多年來的好朋友，他是中國市場的優秀信息來源，在我們多次訪問中國期間，他是一位非常熱情的伙伴。用我蹩腳的中文告訴你，這在中國被稱為：
Liánghǎo de guānxì良好的關系
意味著他很受尊敬，與中國和世界各地的制造業人士保持著良好的關系。
王先生，歡迎并感謝您接受今天的訪談。
王先生：謝謝你，Bill，很高興參與訪談。
BillHerman-Q1：王先生，與AMT類似，CMTBA是一個致力于推動機床行業發展的協會。請您向我們的觀眾談談貴協會的基本情況？
王先生-A1：中國機床工具工業協會（英文簡稱CMTBA）是中國國際機床展覽會（CIMT）和中國數控機床展覽會（CCMT）的主辦方。
中國機床工具工業協會下設28個專業分會和6個工作委員會，現有會員1700多家，會員主要由從事金屬切削機床、金屬成形機床、鑄造機械、木工機床、數控系統、工業機器人、量刃具、磨料磨具、機床附件（含機床功能部件）、機床電器等制造企業組成。
BillHerman-Q2：請您向我們的觀眾介紹一下CIMT展會，這個展會已經舉辦了多少屆了？這是中國最大的機床工具行業展覽嗎？
王先生-A2：Bill，如前所言， CIMT和CCMT是中國境內知名度高、規模大的機床工具專業展覽會。CIMT展會創辦于1989年，每逢單年在北京舉辦。目前，我們正在積極籌備將于2021年4月12-17日在北京舉辦的CIMT2021。
·上一屆CIMT展會于2019年4月在北京?中國國際展覽中心（新館）舉辦。
·在CIMT2019，共有來自28個國家和地區的1712家展商參展。
其中，來自中國境外的展商874家，展出面積約占50%。包括美國在內的13個國家和地區的行業組織和貿促機構組團參展。
·CIMT2019展覽總面積達14.2萬平方米，比上屆增長8.4%。
·為期 6 天的展會共吸引了來自 81個國家和地區的 139079 名專業觀眾前來參觀，總人次達 319371人次。
BillHerman-Q3：CIMT與其他國際機床工具展有什么不同？
王先生-A3：CIMT是中國境內乃至全球知名度最高、最權威、規模最大、國內外影響力最廣的機床工具專業展覽會之一。該展會與美國芝加哥IMTS、歐洲EMO和日本JIMTOF并稱全球四大不可錯過的國際機床展覽盛會。每屆CIMT展會都匯集全球最先進適用的機床工具產品，對亞洲乃至全球、特別是中國國內采購商和用戶來說，是考察和采購機床工具產品的最佳機會。
借此機會，我也代表展會主辦方向所有朋友發出邀請，歡迎在2021年春意盎然的4月我們再次相聚北京，相聚在CIMT2021展覽會！
BillHerman：我本人非常高興接受您的邀請，并且我相信這也是我們很多觀眾的意愿。
BillHerman-Q4：貴協會CIMT2021的籌備情況如何？
王先生-A4：CIMT2021的招展工作已于2020年6月全面啟動，到目前為止，招展工作進展順利。預計將有來自不少于28個國家和地區的約1700余家展商參展，其中將有來自于中國境外的近900家展商參展。
BillHerman-Q5：正如您和我們的觀眾所知道的，受COVID-19病毒疫情影響，IMTS展會已被迫取消。COVID-19病毒是否也迫使你們協會改變對CIMT2021的組織方式？
王先生-A5：的確。2020年初，一場突如其來的新冠肺炎病毒（COVID-19）打亂了全世界人們的正常工作和生活秩序。如前所述，我們本已籌備就緒的CCMT2020（第十一屆中國數控機床展覽會）也被迫停止舉辦了。
目前新冠疫情仍在全球蔓延，未來一兩年展會能否像以往一樣正常舉辦，還存在很多的不確定性。因此，我協會也在著手開發和籌備線上展示平臺，希望能與線下展會形成相互補充和互動。但我認為，機床產品有著其特殊性，在未來一些年，還是以線下實物展示為主，線上展只能是對線下展的支撐和補充。隨著信息技術的逐步發展和完善，線上展才能有更大的發揮潛力。
BillHerman-Q6：疫情影響了人們的旅行計劃，并引發安全問題，CIMT展會是否對國際參展商和觀眾開放？
王先生-A6：我們的CIMT和CCMT展會一向非常歡迎來自境外的展商和觀眾，每屆展會都會組織境外招展，歷屆CIMT展會和CCMT展會，都會有十幾個國家和地區的機床協會及貿促機構組團參展。盡管受展館場地面積不足的制約，展覽面積供不應求，但我相信這種情況將隨著展館建設逐步得到改善。長期以來，我們境外展商的展示面積一直保持在整個展會面積的50%以上，我們也一直熱情邀請和歡迎來自中國境外的采購商和專業觀眾前來參觀、交流和采購。
目前中國國內的航班、高鐵班次已基本恢復到了疫前的水平，人員流動也基本恢復正常，國際航班也正在逐步恢復，這為展商參展和觀眾參觀提供了便利條件。在目前全球新冠疫情沒有完全消退的情況下，我們將按照政府部門發布的疫情防控方案的要求，做好場館及設施消毒，做好人員入場健康檢查，落實充足有效的防護措施，盡最大努力保證參展人員和觀眾的健康和安全。同時也建議來訪的境外友人，理解和遵守我們的各項防護措施，保護好自己，維護良好的參展和觀展秩序，確保展會順利進行。
BillHerman-Q7：那么，關于CIMT2021的籌備和進展，看看技術方面，您認為美國公司在中國發展業務的機會在哪里？
王先生-A7：中國秉承持續幾十年的對外開放政策，我們始終歡迎境外企業來華投資和進行商貿洽談，CIMT和CCMT展會無疑為各國和地區機床工具企業提供了高品位的展示平臺，為中國乃至全球機床用戶搭建了權威高效的機床工具產品選購平臺。
盡管新冠疫情仍在影響全球很多地方，中國因嚴格有效的管控措施而迅速控制疫情并率先復工復產。今年二季度，中國實現GDP增速3.2%，在全球各主要經濟體中表現突出。
機床最大的用戶領域汽車行業產銷也實現了連續5個月的單月同比增長，1-8月累計汽車產銷量降幅持續收窄。
因此可以說，中國經濟仍保持著穩步回升及向好態勢，包括美國企業在內的國際優秀的機床工具企業仍將在中國獲得很大增長空間。回顧近幾年參展情況可以看出，每年會有數十家美國AMT會員企業參加CIMT或CCMT展會，參展企業數量和面積均有逐屆增長趨勢。
因此，Bill，對你的問題，答案是肯定的！中國市場對于美國及世界各地企業來說仍具有巨大機會！
BillHerman-Q8：這真是個好消息，謝謝您。換個角度，您怎么看CMTBA與AMT之間的合作？
王先生-A8：在1988年中國機床工具工業協會（CMTBA）創立之初，正值中國從計劃經濟向市場經濟轉變，那時我們就與美國機械制造技術協會（AMT）建立了友好的合作關系。30多年來，CMTBA也向AMT這個具有百年歷史的同行業協會學習了許多值得借鑒的東西，包括學習行業協會的辦展經驗。
未來，我們會繼續推進兩協會及會員企業在相關技術領域的交流與合作，共同為兩國機床工具企業創建更加廣闊的合作發展空間。
BillHerman-結束語：說得很好，王先生，謝謝。經過這么多年，您和您的員工在AMT受到了朋友般的歡迎。無論是在美國還是在中國，我們都很高興見到您。
王先生，感謝您今天在百忙之中抽出時間來和我們談談CIMT，以及CIMT北京和CCMT上海對展商的機會。我們謹代表AMT，祝愿明年的CIMT展會一切順利。
王先生-結束語：Bill，謝謝你給我這個機會介紹我們在中國展會的最新情況。我們期待著很快在中國見到您和AMT的員工，以及許多來自AMT會員企業的熟悉的面孔！
BillHerman：感謝您收看本次IMTS Spark國際展會的最新進展。我們今天的嘉賓是CIMT北京和CCMT上海展會的主辦方，CMTBA秘書長王黎明先生。

BILL HERMAN:
Good morning and welcome to our International Tradeshow Update series on IMTS Spark. Today, ourfocus is on the CIMT show in Beijing, China, organized by our associationcounterpart, CMTBA – China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’ Association. Formany years, AMT has organized the USA Pavilion at two Chinese shows organized by CMTBA: CIMT, held every odd-numbered year in Beijing, and CCMT, held everyeven-numbered year in Shanghai. These shows are two of the largest in all of China and have generated strong customer leads for the AMT member companies inparticipation as exhibitors.
Our guest today is Mr. Liming Wang, Vice President of CMTBA. In addition to his role as Vice President of CMTBA, Mr. Wang is Vice Chairman of China’s National Metal CuttingStandardization Technical Committee, as well as a Member of the NationalConference & Exhibition Standardization Technical Committee. And beyond that, Mr. Wang has been a good friend to AMT for more than two decades, he is an excellent source of information on the Chinese market and a very welcoming presence during our many visits to China. He has what in China is called:
Liánghǎo de guānxì良好的關系
and in my bad Chinese I will tell you that that means he is very respected and has excellentrelationships with people in the manufacturing world in China and around theworld.
Mr. Wang, Welcome and thank you for joining us today.
MR WANG: Thank you, Bill. I am glad to be here.
BILL HERMAN – Q1：Mr. Wang, similarto AMT, CMTBA is an association that works to advance the machine tool industry.Could you provide our viewers more background on CMTBA?
MR. WANG - A1：CMTBA is the sponsor of both China International Machine Tool Show(CIMT) and China CNC Machine Tool Fair (CCMT).
CMTBA has 28professional branches and 6 working committees, currently with more than 1700 members. Members aremainly composed of manufacturing enterprises engaged in metal cutting machinetools, metal forming machine tools, foundry machinery, woodworking machines,CNC systems, industrial robots, measuring and cutting tools, abrasive andgrinding tools, machine tool accessories (including machine functionalcomponents), machine tools electrical appliances etc..
BILL HERMAN – Q2：Could you giveour viewers some history of the CIMT show? How many times has this exhibition been held?Is CIMT the largest exhibition of machine tool industry in China?
MR. WANG – A2: Bill, as you noted earlier, CIMT and CCMT are the two largest machine tool shows in China.CIMT was founded in 1989 and is held in Beijing every odd year. At present, we are actively preparing for the CIMT2021,which will be held in Beijing from April 12 to 17, 2021.
The last CIMT was held in April 2019, at China International Exhibition Center (New Venue) in Beijing.
At CIMT 2019, there were 1712 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions.
Among them, 874 companies came from overseas, occupying nearly 50% of the exhibition space. Industry associations and trade promotion organizations organized Pavilions from 13 countries and regions,including the United States.
The total exhibition area of CIMT2019 reached 142000 square meters, an increase of 8.4%over its previous exhibition.
The 6-day exhibition attracted 139079 professional visitors from 81 countries and regions, representing 319,371 person-visits, when you factor in those that visited more than once.
BILL HERMAN – Q3：How would you compare CIMT Beijing with other major machine tool shows around the world?
MR. WANG – A3: CIMT is a professional machine tool exhibition with highest popularity, most authoritative, largest scale and most influential in China and abroad. The exhibition along with Chicago'sIMTS, Europe's EMO and Japan’s JIMTOF, is one of the world's four must-seeinternational machine tool events worldwide. Each CIMT exhibition gathers the most advanced and applicable machine tool products in the world, and provides the best opportunity to study, compare and purchase products for buyers and users in Asia and around the world, especially for China domestic purchasing agent and users.
On behalf of the exhibition sponsor, I would like to take this opportunity to extend aninvitation to all friends, welcome to meet again in Beijing in April 2021,where the spring is full of vitality, and to gather at CIMT2021 exhibition!
BILL HERMAN: Well, I, for one,am happy to accept your invitation! As I’m sure will many of our viewers.
BILL HERMAN –Q4：How is your association’s planning for CIMT 2021 going?
MR. WANG: - A4: The exhibition-inviting for CIMT2021 was formally fully launched on June, 2020 and it has been going smoothly. It is expected that more than 1700 exhibitors from more than 28 countries and regions will participate in the exhibition, among them nearly 900 exhibitors from overseas.
BILL HERMAN – Q5：As you and our viewers know, the COVID-19virus forced the cancellation of IMTS. Has COVID-19 forced you to change the way that CMTBA organizes and presents CIMT 2021?
MR. WANG – A5：Yes, a sudden COVID-19 disrupted the normal working and living order of people around the world in early 2020. As I mentioned earlier, the CCMT2020, scheduled for April 2020 in Shanghai, and which was already far along in its planning was also forced to stop.
At present, the pandemic is still spreading around the world. As a result, there are still many uncertainties about whether the exhibition could be held as usual in thenext one or two years. Therefore, CMTBA is also working on the development and preparation of online exhibition platform, hoping to complement and interactwith live, in-person exhibitions. However, I think that machine tool products have their own particularity,and in the next few years, the live, physical exhibition will still be the main event that people will want to attend. The online version can support and supplement tothe live, in-person exhibition. With the gradual development and improvement of information technology, the online exhibition has great potential as a vehicle that canenhance the live show experience.
BILL HERMAN – Q6：With the virus affecting travel plans andcausing safety concerns, will CIMT be open tointernational exhibitors and visitors?
MR WANG – A6：Our CIMT and CCMT exhibitions always welcome overseas exhibitorsand visitors, and each exhibition will continue to organize overseas exhibition-invitingprograms, Machine toolassociations and trade promotion organizations from more than ten countries and regions participated in the past CIMT and CCMT exhibitions. For a long time, the exhibition area of the overseas exhibitors has been maintained atmore than 50% of the total exhibition area, we have also warmly invited and welcomed buyers and professional visitors from overseas to visit, exchange and purchase at our shows.
At present,China's domestic flights and high-speed train services are basically back topre-pandemic levels, and the flow of personnel has nearly returned to normal. Internationalflights are also gradually resuming, which provides convenient conditions for exhibitors and visitors. Under the current situation, understanding that the globalpandemic has not completely subsided, we will follow the requirements of the pandemic prevention and control plan issued by the government departments. We will do an excellent job indisinfection of the venues and facilities, we will be careful in physicalexamination of personnel entering the venue, implement adequate and effectiveprotective measures, and try our best to ensure the health and safety of the participants and the audience. At the same time, it is also suggested that the friends from overseas should understand and abide by our protective measures, makegood efforts at self-protection, maintain a good order of participation, andensure the smooth progress of the exhibition.
BILL HERMAN – Q7：Well, assumingthe show goes forward and let’s think about CIMT2021, in terms of technology, what do you think are the opportunities for UScompanies to develop their business in China?
MR. WANG – Q7：China has adhered to the policy of opening up to the outside world for decades. We always welcome foreign enterprises to invest in China and conduct business negotiations. Boththe CIMT and CCMT shows undoubtedly provide a high-grade exhibition platformfor machine tool enterprises in countries and regions, for China and evenglobal machine tool users to build an authoritative and efficient machine toolproduct purchase platform.
Although theCOVID-19 pandemic is still impacting lives in many parts of the world, due tostrict and effective control measures, China quickly controlled the pandemicand took the lead in returning to work. In the second quarter of this year,China achieved a GDP growth rate of 3.2%, which was outstanding among the majoreconomies in the world.
The productionand sales of automobile industry, the largest user field of machine tools, also achieved a single month year-on-year growth for five consecutive months, and the cumulative declinein automobile production and sales from January to August continued to narrow.
Therefore, it can be said that China's economy has maintained a steady recovery and a positivetrend. International excellent machine tool and tool enterprises, includingAmerican enterprises, will still gain great growth space in China. Looking backon the exhibition situation in recent years, it can be seen that dozens of AMTmember enterprises from the United States participated in CIMT or CCMT everyyear, and the number and area of the participating enterprises are increasing everyyear.
So, the bottom-lineanswer to your question, Bill, is a resounding YES! China remains an excellentsource of opportunity for U.S. companies and those from around the world!
BILL HERMAN – Q8：That is excellentnews, thank you. On a different note Mr. Wang, what do you think of the cooperation between CMTBAand AMT?
MR. WANG – A8：At the beginningof the establishment of CMTBA in 1988, China wastransforming from a planned economy to a market economy. At that time, weestablished a friendly cooperative relationship with AMT. Over the past 30years, CMTBA has learned a lot from AMT, with your century-long history as anindustry association, including learning the experience of holding exhibitionby industry associations.
In the future, we will continue to promote the exchanges and cooperation between our twoassociations and member enterprises in relevant technical fields, and jointly create a broader space for cooperation and development of machine toolenterprises of our two countries.
BILL HERMAN – CLOSING REMARKS: Very very wellsaid, Mr. Wang, thank you. After all these yearsyou and your staff are greeted like friends at AMT. We are always glad when we can see you whether it’s here in the United States or there in China.
Mr. Wang, thankyou for taking time out of your busy schedule today to speak with us about CIMT and the opportunities that exist at both CIMT Beijing and CCMT Shanghai. Onbehalf of AMT, we wish you all the best in your planning for next year’s show.
MR WANG – CLOSING REMARKS: Thank you, Bill,for this opportunity to provide an update on our shows here in China. We lookvery forward to seeing you and the AMT staff, along with the many familiar faces from your member companies, here in China very soon!
BILL HERMAN – OUT: Thank you forwatching this international show update on IMTS Spark. Our guest today has been Mr. Liming Wang, Vice President of CMTBA, organizers of the CIMT Beijing and CCMT show in Shanghai.
