He Yongqian introduced that at present, this Canton Fair presents the following characteristics:

First, the open background color is stronger. This year's Canton Fair will continue to play the role of a trade bridge and cooperation platform, focusing on the theme of "advanced manufacturing" in the first phase, from industrial raw materials to finished products, from professional equipment to complete production lines, with rich product displays, transparent inquiry pricing, and full-process supply chain services, and the role of the Canton Fair open platform is more prominent.

Second, the vitality of innovation is more sufficient. From the perspective of the first phase of exhibitors, there are more than 3700 enterprises with the titles of national high-tech, specialized, special and new little giants, and individual champions in the manufacturing industry, and about 0 enterprises related to "new three things", digital technology and intelligent manufacturing. From the perspective of exhibits, many new low-carbon products in the field of commercial and industrial products are on display, and new consumer products such as service robots, VR equipment, zero-embedded refrigerators, and dual-drive compartment washing machines have attracted much attention.

Third, merchants are actively transacted. The on-site trade negotiations at this Canton Fair were active, and exhibitors generally reported that the number of buyers attending the fair was higher than that of previous sessions, and the inquiries were positive. Many buyers have said that despite the current complex international situation, they are still firmly optimistic about China and Chinese products.

Fourth, the activities are rich and pragmatic. In the first three days, a total of 234 trade promotion activities such as "Trade Bridge" and industry forums were held, and experts from think tanks and representatives of foreign trade enterprises conducted in-depth exchanges on topics such as financial empowerment, industrial chain coordination, key markets, and trade digitalization, and shared new opportunities for China's development.
