"Barometer" Of China'S Foreign Trade And Economic Cooperation

< p > Canton Fair is known as "barometer" of China's foreign trade and economic cooperation. Affected by the "second wave" of the global financial crisis and the slow recovery of international economy, the 112nd Canton Fair held in October last year showed a rare decline in purchases and turnover. The number of visitors to the Canton Fair was reduced from about 200 thousand to 188 thousand, a decrease of 10% over the previous session and a 9.3% decrease in turnover.

< p > how is the current situation of the Canton Fair? Liu Jianjun said that from the early stage of the exhibition, the recent Hotel Canton, flights, and so on, the current number of merchants from the European Union may still be reduced, but the American merchants will remain stable, and the emerging markets, especially those from South America and Africa, are expected to increase.

< p > Liu Jianjun admits that although the international economic situation is better than last year, the overall world economy is still running at a low level.

From the domestic perspective, with the rising cost of all kinds of elements, China's traditional competitive advantage is weakening, the pressure of enterprises is increasing, and the pfer speed of orders and industries to overseas is accelerating.

Therefore, the challenges of foreign trade are still great. However, there are many signs of overall good trend at present. "The demand for this booth is very strong, and the booth satisfaction rate is only about 60%, and about 4 of the domestic enterprises are unable to enter the exhibition because of the tight booth."

< p > it is also reported that the Canton Fair will continue to set up an import exhibition area in the first and third phases, and will set up 900 booths, including 562 enterprises from 38 countries and regions.

Among them, the top 5 countries and regions are South Korea, China Taiwan, India, Malaysia and Turkey.

To this end, from the current Canton Fair, we will organize a series of activities designed to promote trade, and encourage enterprises to increase their R & D and design innovation so as to accelerate the pformation of the development mode of foreign trade.

< /p >

< p > < strong > take measures to create a new competitive advantage for Chinese enterprises < /strong > /p >

< p > the first innovation is the e-commerce platform of the Canton Fair formally launched today.

Relying on the millions of real name merchants and the unique resources of thousands of Chinese enterprises in the Canton Fair, the platform enables the active push of products and information between domestic enterprises and buyers, so as to create the 365 day "never ending Canton Fair".

Liu Jianjun, spokesman for the Canton Fair, said at a news conference on 14 that the official e-commerce platform of Canton Fair represents the pformation, upgrading and strategic pformation of the Canton Fair.

Unlike other electronic business platforms in the market, members of the Canton Fair's electronic commerce platform are free to join and adopt the real name system. The product information is not disclosed to the public. The exchange between merchants and enterprises in a real and relatively independent member space is more conducive to the development of trade partnership.

< /p >

< p > second innovation measures are to start the "Canton Fair export product design award" evaluation.

The aim of the event is to enhance the design and research level of exhibitors and promote the pformation and upgrading of foreign trade. Since 2013, it has been held once a year, judging from the innovation, aesthetics, quality, functionality, environmental protection and quantity of orders.

The Spring Festival starts annually, and the results are announced during the autumn fair.

< /p >

< p > third innovative measures are actively promoting purchasers through exhibitors.

For the first time, the Canton Fair invited all exhibitors and exhibitors to invite purchasers' activities for the first time, and encouraged domestic exhibitors to recommend new overseas customers to join the procurement business list of the Canton Fair. The Canton Fair carried out a series of ratings and rankings for the recommended buyers.

Liu Jianjun, spokesman for the Guangzhou Trade Fair, said that the incentive measures have made significant progress, and buyers have increased their applications for invitations. Exhibitors have an unprecedented enthusiasm for inviting investment, and the activities will continue for a long time from this beginning.

< /p >

"P > corresponds to the fact that for the first time, the Canton Fair, with its focus on the domestic trade enterprises with good retail channels, has attracted the attention of nearly 1700 domestic buyers from chain supermarkets, department stores and retail enterprises to participate in the Canton Fair.

< /p >

< p > in addition, from the 113rd Canton Fair, an innovative static display channel will be set up, and a 430 square meter static publicity exhibition area will be set up on the North platform of the A area for the local governments to publicize their foreign trade pformation and upgrading demonstration bases, high-tech development zones, new industrial parks or industrial bases.
