Mascots for the second China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) were released at a press conference held in Haikou, South China's Hainan province on March 1. The mascots "Industrial Gibbons" are styled after the Hainan gibbon.
Hainan gibbons are the most endangered of all gibbons and the world's rarest primate, with only about 30 of them in the world. The mascots reflect the expo's green consumption concept, according to Ruslan Tulenov, a global media officer at the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development.
Designers have endowed the mascots with diverse personalities, making them embody the three dominant and distinctive industries of Hainan, namely the seed industry, deep-sea industry, as well as aerospace industry.
