The 137th Canton fair
A dramatically increased number of overseas buyers visited the first phase of the 137th China Import and Export Fair, the country’s largest trade event, amid the uncertain global trade situation, according to the fair organizers.
With a theme of displaying China’s advanced manufacturing, the fair’s first phase concluded on Saturday, with 148,585 overseas buyers from 216 countries and regions in attendance, marking a 20.2 percent increase compared to the same period of the fair’s 135 session.
The fair, popularly known as the Canton Fair, is held twice a year in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, in spring and autumn respectively. Each session of the fair includes three phases, displaying almost all China’s industrial and consumer products.
