Monday marked the opening of the 135th Canton Fair in South China's trade hub, Guangzhou.
The Canton Fair has long been hailed as an important indicator of China's foreign trade. Every aspect, from the layout of exhibition halls to the composition of exhibitors and the range of products showcased, serves as a reflection of industry dynamics.
However, the reality is that the global economic outlook remains uncertain, geopolitical tensions are escalating, and the risks of trade protectionism are on the rise. Consequently, businesses are approaching exhibition decisions with increased caution.
Yet, amidst these challenges, the current edition of the Canton Fair has reached unprecedented levels of scale. How will the Guangzhou exhibition industry sustain its role in driving industrial development amidst such conditions?
