The 133rd China Import and Export Fair in guangzhou

The Canton Fair, also known as the China Import and Export Fair, is one of the largest trade fairs in the world and is typically held in Guangzhou, China twice a year in spring and autumn.  It showcases a wide range of products and attracts a large number of buyers and exhibitors from all over the world.  The popularity of the fair may vary depending on various factors such as global economic conditions, market trends, and travel restrictions.

The 133rd Canton Fair was held as scheduled from yesterday to May 5. The resumption of offline exhibitions for the first time in three years after the epidemic is of great significance, as there are various social and economic development factors that deserve attention.

First, the resumption of large-scale offline exhibitions shows the post-epidemic economic recovery. Although many fairs have resumed offline exhibitions before the Canton Fair, as "China's first exhibition", the Canton Fair's role, influence and status as a window for opening up and cooperation with the outside world are hard to replace. The offline exhibition of the Canton Fair can be regarded as a bellwether of the full control of the epidemic.

Secondly, this Canton Fair is the largest one, the exhibition area and the number of exhibitors have reached a new high. Production enterprises and private enterprises accounted for 50.57% and 90.1% of the exhibitors. The number of Chinese and foreign buyers attending the fair has increased significantly, which not only responds to those who are concerned about the declining influence of the Canton Fair, but also shows China's determination to expand its high-level opening-up.

Thirdly, the Canton Fair will fully resume the offline exhibition and operate the online platform regularly throughout the year. In this way, the offline exhibition has become a regular import and export trade event, while the online transaction has become a "never-ending Canton Fair".

Moreover, the exhibition area of the Canton Fair has increased to 1.5 million square meters, and the number of booths has increased to nearly 70,000. About 35,000 offline exhibition enterprises, more than 9,000 new exhibitors, and nearly 40,000 online exhibition enterprises. There is little difference between offline exhibitors and online exhibitors, indicating that the two cannot be completely replaced and can complement each other.

In addition, the new Canton Fair also reflects the characteristics of high-quality development: the number of high-quality characteristic enterprises hit a new high; There are about 5,700 leading enterprises in the industry, specialized and special "Little giant", individual champions in manufacturing, national high-tech enterprises, and high-quality enterprises with titles such as National Enterprise Technology Center. These data not only reflect the result of our industrial upgrading, but also reflect the trend of high-quality economic development.

In a sense, the Canton Fair is a window for China to open to the outside world, and this traditional role is still being strengthened.
