The Press Conference for the opening of the 129th China Import and Export Fair was held in Canton Fair Complex in the morning of April 14. Mr. Xu Bing, spokesperson of the Canton Fair, Deputy Director General of China Foreign Trade Centre, introduced the characteristics, highlights and preparation of this session to press from home and abroad.
Xu Bing introduced that we have made solid efforts to organize the Fair and provide a feast of “Made in China”. The overall scale remains stable. There are 50 exhibition sections under 16 product categories, including electronics and household electrical appliances, machinery, building materials, consumer goods, home decorations, textiles and garments, and so on. About 26,000 domestic and overseas exhibitors will come up online with nearly 60,000 virtual booths. The number of products hits a new high. As of now, over 2.7 million products have been uploaded, setting a record high with an increase of 230,000 products compared to the last session. The zone “Rural Vitalization” will be set up. In order to consolidate gains of poverty eradication and ensure a smooth transition into rural vitalization, the 129th Canton Fair designates a special zone for 1,160 companies from formerly poor regions, enabling them to participate for free. Fees for participation are exempted. As a response to policies of cutting taxes and fees to help enterprises address difficulties introduced by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the 129th Canton Fair will not levy fees on companies and cross-border e-commerce platforms for participation, giving them a leg up in expanding markets.

Xu stated that we will further optimize the digital platform to enhance the experience of relevant parties, and we will stage trade promotion activities to facilitate the building of a new development pattern. Xu stated that we will focus on IPR protection to ensure a favorable innovating environment for enterprises in this session, and we will improve supporting services to provide more convenience.
