The Largest Ever Canton Fair: Tens of Thousands of Merchants Gather to "Connect" the World

2023-04-18

The grand spectacle of "tens of thousands of merchants gathering again by the Pearl River" is, in the view of Tu Xinquan, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics, the most intuitive reflection of the enduring charm of the Canton Fair. China is the only country in the world that possesses all industrial categories listed in the United Nations' Industrial Classification. Numerous enterprises utilize the Canton Fair platform to showcase themselves, and international buyers can basically purchase all the goods they want at the Canton Fair, achieving a "one-stop" shopping experience. Additionally, offline face-to-face exchanges are more direct and in-depth. Many international buyers are eager to learn about the new technologies and products China has launched in the past three years. It is these needs and expectations that have contributed to making this Canton Fair the largest in history. As the "wind vane" and "barometer" of China's foreign trade, the Canton Fair is known as "China's First Exhibition" due to its longest history, largest scale, most comprehensive range of products, largest number of attending businessmen, and best transaction results. Liu Ge, a financial commentator at CCTV, believes that to this day, the Canton Fair remains an important window for enterprises to go global, supported by the resilience of China's supply chain. Both manufacturers and distributors can achieve efficient demand matching at the Canton Fair, and after placing orders, the sufficient, continuous, and stable supply and output provided by China's supply chain are difficult to achieve elsewhere.
