● On April 15, the 137th China Import and Export Fair kicked off in Guangzhou. Even with global trade tensions and rise of unilateral policies, this major event pushed forward with a focus on "opening up for a shared future," once again showing the world China's commitment to welcoming more international cooperation.

● The data from the Canton Fair shows that by April 13, over 200,000 international buyers from 215 countries and regions had signed up early for this year’s event. Among them are 68 of the top 250 global retailers, 20 from Fortune Global 500 companies, 93 retail groups, and 162 businesses from specific industries. Up to April 8, most of these overseas visitors—about 72%—come from Belt and Road partner countries. Another 27.4% are from BRICS nations, 15.4% from OECD countries, 11.7% from RCEP members, 14.3% from Middle Eastern countries, and roughly 10.5% from Europe and North America. When it comes to industries, the biggest groups are buyers interested in manufacturing, electronics and home appliances, lighting and electrical gear, fashion, building materials, and furniture.

● Today, China has become a major trading partner for over 150 countries and regions around the world. The idea of opening up and working together for mutual benefit has deep roots, going back to the Silk Road during the Western Han Dynasty. That spirit has stuck around through the years. As Xiong Aizong pointed out, economic globalization is pretty much unstoppable these days. Countries that try to protect their own markets with tariffs or restrictions often face resistance, and in the long run, America’s trade protectionism probably won't succeed. Looking back at economic history, those who choose the right path—like welcoming openness—tend to gain support, while those who go against it usually struggle. And right now, "the right path" is all about opening up. Many believe China will keep attracting more partners who share this same outlook.

● China’s approach combines working with others on trade, called "masterful cooperation," along with taking independent and unilateral steps to open up more. Independent opening up means China is actively shaping its own reforms without relying on others, while unilateral opening up shows its confidence and willingness to share development chances with the rest of the world. As global trade patterns shift and supply chains change, this could be a key moment for China to push forward with its own industrial upgrading and transformation.

● When the world faces powerful changes, real strength shows up. No matter how high the trade walls go, China’s factories and supply chains stay strong. When storms hit and challenges come, sticking together keeps us afloat. At the Canton Fair in China, we can find new ways to keep global trade moving forward and reach for new opportunities.
