The 140th Canton Fair is underway in Guangzhou this October. Inside the Pazhou Exhibition Center, buyers from around the world move between booths. Outside the venue, many overseas buyers are exploring Guangzhou's streets and neighborhoods, shopping at local stores and businesses. Business opportunities are emerging across the city.

China is both a "super seller" and a "super buyer." As China's largest province in foreign trade, Guangdong is showing increasingly clear signs of two-way opening-up. In the first three quarters of this year, Guangdong's exports reached 5.11 trillion yuan, up 14.2%, while imports totaled 3.61 trillion yuan, up 42.5%.

Quality goods from around the world are flowing into the market at an accelerating pace. In the first three quarters of this year, Nansha recorded total imports and exports of nearly 250 billion yuan, with exports accounting for nearly 150 billion yuan. Both figures hit record highs. Exports of ships and automobiles exceeded 20 billion yuan and 17 billion yuan, respectively, with both recording growth of more than 80%. Exports of high-tech products increased by 110%. During the same period, imports of cosmetics and edible oils increased by 19.1% and 67.2%, respectively.

International logistics links are becoming increasingly efficient in both directions. By the end of September, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport offered flights to more than 100 international and regional destinations, making it a leading gateway in southern China for travel and trade with Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania. Recently launched by China Southern Airlines, the cargo route between Guangzhou and Nairobi carries new energy equipment and electronic products on outbound flights, while return flights transport fresh flowers and agricultural produce from East Africa.

High-end manufacturing is becoming a new hallmark of Guangdong's exports. In the first three quarters of this year, Guangdong's imports and exports of mechanical and electrical products totaled 6.18 trillion yuan, up 27.9%, accounting for approximately 27.9% of the national total for these products. Exports of high-tech products reached 1.1 trillion yuan, up 33%, with exports of integrated circuits, lithium batteries, and electric vehicles increasing by 58.6%, 38.4%, and 25.5%, respectively.
