Viewing People's Hearts from the Canton Fair
On May 2nd, the Association of Shoe Distributors and Retailers in the United States sent a letter to the White House this week requesting an exemption
from President Trump's so-called "equivalent tariffs," stating that these tariffs pose a "survival threat" to the footwear industry. It is reported that this
letter was signed by 76 shoe brands, including Nike, Adidas, Skechers, and Adama.
While the American Distributors and Retailers Association is working hard to exempt "equivalent tariffs," the venue of the 137th Canton Fair is packed
with people. International division of labor and economic and trade cooperation are market laws that have been verified through long-term economic
development practice, and will never stagnate or change due to individual countries' trade protectionism measures.
Tariff wars and trade wars harm the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, undermine the multilateral trading system, and impact the world
economic order.
In the east of the world, it's a different kind of weather. At the Canton Fair, we heard the voices of overseas merchants. In the current global turbulence,
China has shown the world through actions that China is a trustworthy partner who can work together to create a better future. China means certainty
In the exhibition hall, exhibitors and buyers are hurrying forward. Each exhibitor and buyer takes a small step forward and together gathers a big step in
economic and trade development.
Yes, this is the Canton Fair, Guangzhou, and China.
The difficulty of communication does not lie in language differences, but in finding and reaching the essence of communication, exchanging hearts.
The Canton Fair, which has been held for 68 years, is a big book with rich connotations and exciting stories. By understanding the Canton Fair, one can
gain a better understanding of China and the world.
The global trend of economic and trade development, in line with the development laws of the exhibition industry, has made the Canton Fair a
constantly updated book, with continuous improvement in internationalization, specialization, marketization, and digitalization. It has become an
important platform for China's all-round opening up to the outside world, promoting high-quality development of international trade, and connecting
domestic and international dual circulation.
In the context of complex external situations and intensified risks and challenges, the fundamental principles of China's healthy and stable economic
development have not changed, the production factors that support high-quality development have not changed, and the overall momentum of long-
term stability and improvement has not changed.
