Online Canton Fair: Foreign Trade Under The Epidemic Needs Intensive Cultivation

According to reports, the executive meeting of the State Council decided that the 127th Canton Fair would be held online in the middle and late June. This will be the first time that China's oldest trade event has been held entirely in the form of Internet, so that Chinese and foreign businessmen can place orders and do business without leaving home.

Under the global epidemic, the Canton Fair is not cancelled, but changed online, which is also the result agreed by all parties including businessmen. As we all know, the Canton Fair is known as the barometer of China's foreign trade. According to the data, as of 2018, the cumulative export turnover of the fair has exceeded US $1.2 trillion, accounting for more than 50% of the peak export volume of China, and its position in China's foreign trade territory is self-evident.

The online Canton Fair is not complicated, but a change of transaction media, which moves the traditional promotion, negotiation and other links to the cloud. To some extent, this is a large-scale "online shopping", but the protagonist has become the enterprises at both ends. The quality and efficiency of online shopping have been verified in daily life. This online Canton Fair is worth looking forward to.

This is not the first time that the Canton Fair got access to the Internet: during the SARS in 2003, the organizers tried to "online Canton Fair" for the first time, which has been maintained since then. Until 2011, the Canton Fair set up an e-commerce company. The "time line" of the traditional Canton Fair has been further extended, forming a 365 antenna Canton Fair.
