The CCPIT develops business cooperation and exchanges with foreign countries and has long been associated with the Chinese Communist Party's united front strategy.[1][3][2] It is charged with organizing trade fairs and events in promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative.[4] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CCPIT was charged with issuing force majeure certificates to Chinese companies unable to meet their contractual trade obligations.[5]
