  Digitization: Using "New Forms and New Momentum" to Unblock the Economic Cycle

  Since 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, globalization has encountered adverse currents, and the resilience of the supply chain has also been tested.

In the face of changes in domestic and foreign situations, it is crucial to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles mutually reinforcing.

  As "China's first exhibition", the transformation measures of the Canton Fair in recent years are an important epitome of Guangdong's smooth economic cycle and solid promotion of the new development pattern.

  Digital transformation is the key to keeping up with the trend of trade development.

"When the 127th Canton Fair was converted to an online event, I turned all these rooms into live broadcast rooms. We, who had never watched live broadcasts before, also actively learned from scratch and transformed from amateurs to experts." According to Zhang Jing, the relevant person in charge of the textile and garment foreign trade business of Guangzhou Light Industry Group Textile Co., Ltd., the digital transformation of the Canton Fair also promotes the upgrading and adjustment of enterprises to adapt to the new direction of development.

This new trend of "going to the cloud" not only allows foreign businessmen to understand Chinese products across the ocean, but also facilitates domestic buyers to grasp product trends in a timely manner, and global businessmen can "buy the world and sell the world" without leaving home.

  Export to domestic sales has become a new choice for many Guangdong foreign trade enterprises.

The Canton Fair's efforts in promoting dual circulation bring "new notes" to this "old topic".

At the 128th Canton Fair "Dual circulation of domestic and international, domestic and foreign trade drive - Canton Fair double circulation promotion activities", the Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce released 13 measures of Guangdong Province to support the export of enterprises to domestic sales.

  For the consideration of promoting the integration of domestic and foreign trade, in September 2021, the Canton Fair, which has grown for 65 years, will be fully opened to domestic buyers for the first time.

MINISO, a local company in Guangzhou that has built a flexible production supply chain that matches high flexibility and flexibility, saw the broad space of the Canton Fair and said, "The Canton Fair is China's window for opening to the outside world, and it is a high-quality service trade in the new era. It is an important platform for development and an important channel for MINISO to discover and tap high-quality suppliers."

  Strengthening the new kinetic energy of foreign trade development is an innovative step to promote the sustainable development of the dual cycle.

In addition to the Canton Fair, in recent years, Guangdong has actively promoted the construction of a cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone, continuously cultivated and expanded new momentum for foreign trade development, and achieved remarkable results.

Among them, the province's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports jumped from 22.8 billion yuan in 2016 to 331 billion yuan in 2021, with an average annual growth of 92.1%; market procurement exports jumped from 81.5 billion yuan in 2017 to 315.9 billion yuan in 2021. The average annual growth rate is 40.3%.

  According to Zhang Jinsong, director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, Guangdong has successively introduced a series of policies and measures to support the development of new foreign trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce, market procurement, offshore trade, and international distribution, forming a set of strong support for the strong development of Guangdong's new foreign trade formats. policy system.
