Before the Canton Fair, Galanz divided the three live broadcast time zones in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific according to different regions of the world, and launched multiple overseas live broadcasts. Through continuous practice and review, the anchors' ability to exhibit online has been greatly improved, and Galanz has also selected a group of seeded live broadcasters to prepare for the Canton Fair live broadcast and the later normalized live broadcast. Liang Zhaoxian, chairman and president of Galanz Group, hopes that through technology leadership, friends can be made all over the world to share Foshan Manufacturing.

Around the 10-day Canton Fair exhibition period, Dongpeng Ceramics specially planned a series of theme live events, covering today's design trends, the latest industry craftsmanship, and new products in 2020. "Getting more business opportunities by enriching page information and increasing the time customers spend on our booth maximally" said Zhu Lijuan, director of Dongpeng Ceramics International Marketing Department.

Affected by the epidemic, the demand for anti-epidemic supplies in domestic and foreign markets has soared. This year, Foshan Smart Frog Technology Co., Ltd. also launched an epidemic prevention product—a dry hanger with UV sterilization function. This type of product was welcomed by the domestic market at the beginning of this year. The company is planning to further expand the market overseas, as the focus of the online Canton Fair.

Before the Canton Fair, Smart Frog Technology's foreign trade anchor conducted a live preview.

Canton Fair to keep trade winds blowing

The fair, including 50 exhibition areas based on 16 categories of commodities, will attract some 25,000 Chinese enterprises, which can present their products in various forms such as images, videos and 3D formats, according to organizers.

Foreign buyers can register on the 24-hour livestreaming platform and start purchase negotiations at any time during the exhibition period, as all enterprises are exempted from paying exhibition fees to bolster international trade and yield win-win results.

Making full use of information technologies including internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, this year's Canton Fair showed an innovative method of cooperation for foreign and domestic companies and inspired confidence to find opportunities amid challenges.

The latest high-quality products of 175 Zhuhai enterprises are being marketed at 582 online booths as the June 15-24 China Import & Export Fair (Canton Fair) has moved to the cloud in tandem with epidemic containment measures.

Production-oriented foreign trade enterprises numbering 108 comprise 62 percent of the trade delegation, and 67 of them (38.3 percent) are circulation-oriented concerns. Sixteen branded companies occupy 104 booths.

In total, they have uploaded pictures, videos, or 3D presentations of 13,599 products covering 16 commodity categories and 50 exhibition areas to the "Internet + Cloud Exhibition Platform." Three-quarters of the Zhuhai exhibits consist of electromechanical and hi-tech products.

As of Sunday, 106 Zhuhai enterprises had scheduled almost 1,000 livestreams. Gree Electric Appliances even assembled a team of broadcasters versed in products, trade, and foreign languages, as well as assistants and technical support.

In addition, a city government task force helped them prepare for the fair in terms of organization, investigation, publicity, online security, logistics service, intellectual property protection, and turnover statistics.

The Canton Fair is the oldest and largest trade showpiece in China. It has been held biannually every spring and autumn in Guangzhou since 1957, and is used as a barometer of China's foreign trade.

The 10-day fair is expected to boost Zhuhai's foreign trade in which, during the COVID-19 outbreak, value dropped 17 percent year-on-year to 96.43 billion yuan ($13.59 billion) in the first five months of this year. Specifically, export value decreased by 9.1 percent to 55.51 billion yuan ($7.82 billion) and import value plummeted 25.8 percent to 40.92 billion yuan ($5.77 billion).
