Reference News website reported on April 20 according to a report from the website of "Le Monde" of France on April 18 that the 137th Canton Fair held from April 15 to May 5 is a barometer reflecting the trade relations between Beijing and other regions of the world.

Buyers from all over the world are gathered at the security check: Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans, Middle Easterners - people from all over the world gather here to purchase from China.

In this session of the Canton Fair, the traditional term "world factory" has been most vividly embodied. Tractors, stoves, solar panels, smartphones or drill bits: for each product, there are dozens of exhibitors ready to do business with visiting buyers.

A technician from Huaxin Company rolled up his trousers and jumped directly into the demonstration pool of the swimming pool cleaning robot to check its waterproof performance. Sales manager David Pan, dressed in a white shirt, gray jeans, and sneakers, stood beside him, ready to distribute brochures to those who were interested.

In the past two weeks, US President Trump launched a tariff war, causing unease among Chinese factories.

But David Pan said, "China has many engineers and a vast supply chain. When you release a new design, there are countless suppliers in China who can meet your needs, and the workers are conscientious."

Rafael Jimenez from Costa Rica has attended the Canton Fair for 12 consecutive years, and he said, "China offers a huge selection, and you need to find the balance point between quality and price."

His business partner Raymond Xu believes that China is invincible: first because of its high-quality labor force, and second because of its efficiency. He said, "We can ship the container within 25 days, while other countries need 45 days."

According to the website of Nikkei Asia Magazine on April 15, a record 30,000 plus exporters participated in the Canton Fair held in the southern city of Guangzhou. Meanwhile, more than 200,000 overseas buyers have registered, higher than 144,000 during the same period in 2024.

In a corner of the 1.55 million square meter exhibition center, Li Mingyuan (phonetic), head of a Fujian emergency lighting company, was busy negotiating prices with customers from Bangladesh and Argentina. He said that most customers come from emerging markets where demand is high due to frequent power outages.

Benjamin, a 28-year-old buyer from Chile, said he came here to establish connections with solar and wind energy companies because he wants to start his own renewable energy business.

A group of Canadian buyers were looking for air conditioners that could be sold in their country. One Canadian said, "It's hard for other countries to compete with Chinese companies in terms of price."

German IT Boltwise website reported on April 15 that the first Canton Fair after the US implemented new tariff policies clearly showed that some companies are trying to diversify production bases or explore new markets, and some companies have successfully explored new markets. This indicates that diversified layout and flexible adaptation are the keys to survival under the current trade environment. (Compiled/Ge Xuelai Jiao Yu)
