November 4th (AMSP/CGTN) – – Now let’s turn to south China’s Guangzhou, where the China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, was underway in its 136th edition. Launched in 1957, the biannual Canton Fair is widely seen as a barometer of the country’s foreign trade. The third phase kicked off on Thursday, November 2, showcasing products in the health and recreation sectors, and catering to new consumer trends.

The booths of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Canton Fair were bustling with global purchasers. Some were seasoned partners, while others were new explorers in the field.
