The fish trade in southern China went from flat to flourishing this week after China and the United States agreed to reduce tariffs on each other, sending a wave of optimism through Guangdong province.
Established in 1957, the Canton Fair is the long-est-running of several comprehensive international trade events in China and is con-sidered a barometer of China's foreign trade performance.
The second phase of the 137th Canton Fair concluded on April 27. A record 224,372 overseas buyers from 219 countries and regions have participated in this year's fair.
As a leader in China's reform and opening-up, Guangdong province has taken the initiative to align itself with international high-standard trade and economic rules, optimize its business environment and strengthen intellectual property protection.
