The primary consequence of this collaboration is an essential development in treating malignant and benign tumors, such as uterine fibroids and osteosarcoma.

As one of the two guest provinces, Sichuan Pavilion shows an aviation flight simulator, which replicates the Cessna 172's various dashboards and operating systems.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high-wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. This aircraft is durable, high performance, meets the requirements of civil aviation instrument flight regulations, is easy to fly and maintain, and is one of the more popular trainers in the world. 

The Cessna 172 has been purchased by most of the flight training schools in China and has been the "gateway" for many students to learn to fly. With the aviation flight simulator, students can master aircraft procedures faster and more accurately on the ground.

There are many more elements of technological innovation at this exhibition, from industry to people's livelihoods, and you are welcome to visit the site to find out more.
