Canton Fair closes with record 352,000 overseas buyers
AI take
The record buyer turnout matters less as an attendance statistic than as a real-economy demand signal: physical sourcing activity at China's largest trade fair is holding up even as broader trade tensions persist. The breadth — 219 countries and regions — suggests demand is not concentrated in a single bloc, which is the detail worth watching for anyone tracking supply-chain diversification. Whether this reflects genuine order growth or buyers front-loading ahead of tariff uncertainty is the open question, and the next session's figures will be the test.
