The 134th Canton Fair wrapped up its final phase in Guangzhou this week, with a record-breaking turnout of over 157,000 overseas buyers — a 54% surge compared to last spring! Spanning 515,000 square meters of exhibition space, the event showcased everything from eco-friendly tech to AI-powered home gadgets, proving why it’s a must-attend for global trade enthusiasts.
CGTN’s Omar Khan hosted a roundtable with international buyers, who shared their hot takes: “The shift toward sustainable products is unreal,” said one attendee from Kenya. A German entrepreneur praised the fair’s “next-level digital integration,” while a Thai designer gushed over textile innovations that blend tradition with futuristic flair.
With cross-border partnerships flourishing and green tech stealing the spotlight, the Canton Fair remains a gateway to Asia’s booming markets. As one participant put it: “This isn’t just trade — it’s where cultures collide and ideas ignite.”
