Shanghai enterprises participating in the 101st session of the Canton Fair(2007 China Canton Fair) have achieved considerable success at the event, thanks to a series of active measures they took to cope with the negative infl uence of factors such as the renminbi's appreciation, the downgrading of export tax rebate rate and increased labor costs.
One of the success stories concerns Shanghai-based Sanxin International, which launched its new 3SB71 circuit breaker at this year's fair. Developed in February and applicable to various types of buildings,this small new model was aimed at high-end customers and attracted the attention of dozens of clients from Europe and South America. Sanxin International signed contracts worth about $2 million in just the first two days of the fair, which represents an increase of more than 20 percent in contract value from last year.
Shanghai Toy Import and Export Ltd also created new breakthroughs at this session of Canton Fair. It established a partnership with a children's cart factory in Pinghu in Zhejiang Province, developed new products tailored for the overseas market and used all available channels to push sales. Due to proper production and sales activity, the company has recently seen an increase in its number of clients and orders, holding fruitful negotiations with more than 30 foreign clients at the ongoing China Import and Export Fair - the official name for the Canton Fair.
Shanghai Wanxiang Daily Cosmetics Ltd followed the market trend by increasing investments in advanced technology and equipment, which in turn helped the company achieve good results in the two recent sessions of the Canton Fair. The fi rm reaped over $30 million from deals struck in the fairs and in the subsequent period.
Canton Fair opens 101st session, seeking trade balance

The biannual fair, commonly known as Canton Fair, kicked off on Sunday and for the first time offered booths for overseas commodities.
China's largest trade exhibition, the 101st session of the Canton fair, which for the first time features imported commodities, opened in south China's Guangdong Province on Sunday.
The massive trade exhibition, known for the past 50 years as the Chinese Export Commodities Fair, has added the word import to its name and is now formally known as the Chinese Import and Export Commodities Fair.
The fair came about one month after Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao pledged in his government work report made in early March that China will continue adjusting its foreign trade structure and actively promote imports.
The import section this year features the products of 314 foreign companies from 36 countries and regions. They're offering a wide range of products from machinery, automobiles, IT products, household electric appliances, building materials, jewelry and food and agricultural products.
At least 6,000 Chinese corporate buyers have been invited to the fair, which runs from April 15 to April 30.
"By adding booths for foreign commodities, the Fair will transform itself from an exclusive occasion for exports to a platform for promoting both imports and exports," said Gao Hucheng, vice minister of Commerce, at the fair.
Gao said China encourages imports of advanced technology and energy-saving equipment and technology. It also encourages competent foreign enterprises to participate in the imports of major facilities and equipment in China, and welcomes competitive foreign firms and products to enter the Chinese market.
Lam Tin-fuk, executive director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said he has led 40 Hong Kong firms to attend the fair, adding "Introduction of the import section shows that China's foreign trade has shifted from mere export to balanced development of both import and export.
"Having face to face conversation with potential Chinese buyers helps me understand what they want, which is very useful for our products to enter the Chinese market," said Paul Kidwell, general manager of the UK Bathroom Corporation Ltd.
At the fair, cars by Volkswagen, Audi, Ferrari and other trendy foreign cars took center stage in the 10,000-square-kilometer exhibition hall, drawing large crowds of visitors.
Along the exhibits of the world's largest corporations are displays of silverware and garments from Nepal and arts and crafts from Mali, India and Haiti.
Sebastian Kopulande, chairperson of the Zambia-China Business Association, says the fair "is an opportunity for Zambian manufacturers to expand their business", adding that 37 companies from his country are attending.
Chinese exporters still dominate the fair with 14,430 exhibitors participating, 429 more than in the last fair.
Last year, more than 190,000 buyers from around the world signed deals worth 34 billion U.S. dollars, said Xu Bing, deputy secretary general of the fair.
The fair, which is also known as the Canton Fair, is a biannual event that has been held in the spring and autumn since 1957.
By introducing imports to the fair, China aims to increase products sold to the country and lower its trade surplus, said Xu.
In 2006, China recorded sizzling economic growth of just under 11 per cent, largely powered by strong exports which rose by 27 percent to 969 billion U.S. dollars. The soaring exports expanded China's trade surplus to a record 178 billion dollars, up 74 percent from the previous record of 102 billion dollars set in 2005.
China has lowered export tax rebates since last September to help lower its trade surplus, which stood at 46.44 billion U.S. dollars in the first quarter of this year. The trade surplus in March dropped to 6.87 billion U.S. dollars, dipping below the 10 billion U.S. dollar mark for the first time since March 2006.
At a press conference ahead of Sunday's opening ceremony, Xu Bing said the centennial fair will make further efforts to boost intellectual property rights protection.
He said any exhibitor found to have infringed on any designs or brands will be banned from participating in the next four events. Those convicted for violating intellectual property rights will be banned from participating in the next six events.
The move was made in response to the United States' WTO complaints last week over copyright piracy in China.
Last autumn's session of the fair attracted 192,691 buyers from212 countries and regions, including 106,716 from around Asia, followed by Europe, America and Africa.

2007 China Canton Fair Phase II
UN Seeks Suppliers at 2007 China Canton Fair
The United Nations Procurement Service (UNPS) on Monday opened a trade promotion center for Chinese business people at the 101st Chinese Import and Export Commodities Fair, China's largest trade exhibition-2007 China Canton Fair.
The UNP-Canton Fair Promotion Center will serve as a platform for Chinese companies to supply the UN and is expected to greatly boost the UN's procurement from China.
Chinese commodities are very competitive in both price and quality, but many Chinese companies missed business opportunities with the UN due to a lack of information and knowledge of the rules and processes of UN procurement, said Yavar Khan, chief of the UNPS procurement headquarters.
Khan said any companies holding ISO 9000 certification and operating for at least three years with a stable financial status were eligible to supply the UN.
Chen Zhaoren, deputy director of the China Foreign Trade Center, an organization under the Ministry of Commerce, said firms supplying the UN were exempted from tariffs and would encounter no trade barriers.
UN procurement has attracted many small and medium-sized Chinese companies. More than 2,000 Chinese firms have become registered suppliers at the UNPS since it launched the first promotion campaign at the Canton Fair in 2000. However, the figure is only 1 percent of the world's total.
Khan expressed the hope that more Chinese companies will be involved in UN procurement after the center established.
The UNPS spends more than 30 billion U.S. dollars annually on products and services for UN agencies, peace-keeping troops, and other activities. Foodstuffs, medical items, machinery and electronic components top the list of purchases.

What Are the Differences Between Chinese Food and Your Own?
Welcome to Guangzhou, Good luck in the 101st China Import and Export Canon Fair. Then I hope this article can give you brief feeling about the Food in Guangzhou.
Alan is having a fish at Guangzhou Restaurant.
To many British people breakfast is the most important meal of the day and here I would take a traditional British breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, mushrooms, toast… over a Chinese breakfast any day.
David (from Adelaide, Australia): No difference. Chinese food is a subset of Australian food, a category which also includes Italian, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Lebanese, Arabian and American food. Australia is an immigrant country, and is therefore not bound to any one culinary style.
Jorg (from Munich, Germany): Between Chinese and German food…well…I am not too familiar of German food so I can just tell you German cuisine is more heavy with sausage, potatoes…strong food for strong people with the beer of all meals…Chinese food is more light and more nice to see, more delicate and sophisticate. Pleasure of the eyes, the noose and the mouth…for the Chinese food…German one is more basic.
Alan is having a fish at Guangzhou Restaurant.Alan (from Liverpool, UK): I Think traditional British food is very basic in contrast to Chinese food. We don't really place much emphasis on presentation, and our use of herbs and spices are also limited in comparison to China.
Another difference is that we don't have anything like the variety of dishes that you have here. You would find pretty much the same kind of British food whether you are in the north or south of England for example, though there are some regional differences between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Kimberly (from Maryland, US): It seems that Cantonese (local Chinese) food centers around just a few ingredients per dish.
In America when I'm cooking I usually use a bunch of different spices. Although the local food here doesn't use as many ingredients it doesn't lack in flavor. I also find that local food is mainly cooked on the stove which often means that it's greasy. I'm not a big fan of the stove I prefer the oven. I like to bake my dishes because I feel that it's less oily and I can also stick it in the oven and do other things while it's cooking. The opposite of this is that ovens usually take a while to cook the food. Stove top food
here is cooked relatively quickly and dinner is usually served in the home in less time.
It's hard to compare the two types of food because they really are so vastly different. If I had any real gripes with the local dishes I would have to say it's the bones! In the U.S. when we eat a dish with bones, usually a whole rib or chicken leg, we use our hands and a lot of times we get dirty doing it. I like to handle my food but here in China the people have a different way of eating using chopsticks and the pieces of meat are small with little pieces of bones. It takes a lot of practice and real talent to eat a dish of what I refer to as "meat flavored bones" properly.
David (from Adelaide, Australia): No difference. Chinese food is a subset of Australian food, a category which also includes Italian, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Lebanese, Arabian and American food. Australia is an immigrant country, and is therefore not bound to any one culinary style.Jorg (from Munich, Germany): Between Chinese and German food…well…I am not too familiar of German food so I can just tell you German cuisine is more heavy with sausage, potatoes…strong food for strong people with the beer of all meals…Chinese food is more light and more nice to see, more delicate and sophisticate.

CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE FOR 100 YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANTON FAIR FROM THE BRAZIL CHINA CHAMBER
The wealth and variety of products shown in the Guangzhou Canton Fair has always allowed the world to understand more about China, its industrial and economic capabilities.
Even people without any previous knowledge of China, or China experience, can come away from the Canton Fair after only a few days with an understanding of the magnitude of what China produce. A feel for its quality, technology, design and pricing can be sensed from this short exposure in the fair and a first hand knowledge can be learned of the Asian Giant. I always mention in my articles and speeches that the Canton Fair offers everything from toothpicks to those with the most advanced, state of the art technology.
China’s wealth creation, development and emergence as a world class economic power of ever growing importance are significantly based on its exports.
Undoubtedly, the success and surge of China’s foreign trade can be directly linked to the importance of the Canton Fair. For fifty years the Canton Fair has continuously been an important event in the agendas of many of the people that make history happen and business move from around the world. Without any doubt this has contributed immensely to promote an understanding of China, create friendship with businesses, organizations and authorities from all the world.
The organizers of this fair are also tireless promoters of this event. Over the years since our foundation in 1986, our Chamber has been proud to have organized conferences with presentation by our Chamber and the Canton Fair leaders to business leaders and authorities in the Federations of Industries and Commercial Associations of almost every state in Brazil. Complete information in the Portuguese language about the Canton Fair can be found in our Chamber’s bilingual website. The Governor of the State of Santa Catarina, who was formerly the Brazilian Minister of Science and Technology that signed the successful Sino Brazilian Aerospace Agreement in 1988, is grateful to the Organization of the Canton Fair and to Mr. Chen Barong, Vice President, for the warm reception and assistance during our delegation’s visit to the fair on October of last year.
Most of the hundreds of Brazilian businessmen that join the various delegations to the Canton Fair organized by our Chamber every semester have done significant business during and after their visits to this important showcase of China. During October of
2004 we organized the visit to the Canton Fair of the Presidents and senior management of more than twenty large textile industries members of SINTEX, their trade association in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Most of the companies that joined this visit to the Canton Fair went to China for the first time and are now doing business with Chinese companies. One company, Rovitex, while in the trade fair for the first time, ordered three hundred thousand pairs of Bermudas per month. We believe that the volume of business generated from the Brazilian delegations that our Chamber sends to the Canton fair represent the growth of trade volume between the two giants. This volume climbed from US$ 1.5 billion in 1999 to US$ 11 billion last year.
Based on these results, our long friendship and partnership with the Canton Fair we congratulate and commemorate together with you, the 100th Session of the Chinese Export Commodities Fair.
