Nanning's ports of entry see influx of exhibitors for China-ASEAN Expo

The ports of entry in Nanning City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, are experiencing an influx of exhibitors participating in the 21st China-ASEAN Expo.

The event is scheduled to be held from Tuesday to Saturday in Nanning, an important gateway connecting China and ASEAN countries.

Exhibitors from different countries have increasingly gravitated toward the Chinese market, bolstered by the implementation of China's customs clearance facilitation policy in recent years.

"I'm from Malaysia. I am here to participate in the ASEAN expo. With this visa-free policy, we will take more trips to China to see what the market is like here," said an visitor from Malaysia, the country of honor for this year's expo.

With favorable policies and measures in place to felicitate customs clearance, China has been welcoming an increasing number of foreign arrivals, especially during international events like the China-ASEAN Expo.

According to data from the local border checkpoint, ports of entry in Nanning have recently processed an average of approximately 2,100 inbound and outbound travelers each day. It is expected that the total number of passengers before, during, and after the China-ASEAN Expo will surpass 20,000.

The customs authority has facilitated the clearance and entrance with various measures.

"As exhibitors and visitors are entering for the expo, we have established designated areas for command and dispatch, service as well as data analysis to ensure safe and efficient customs clearance," said Wei Zhou, instructor of Nanning General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection.

China's flower export value posts double-digit surge in Jan-Feb

China's flower export value increased by 11.5 percent from January to February compared with the same period last year, according to China Flower Association, a figure that reflects the huge market's consistent effort to strengthen trade ties with other countries around the world.

The released figure showed a continuous growth of China's overseas flower trade, with the export value reaching 103 million U.S. dollars in the first two months this year and in 2024, the total import and export value of the country's flower reached 782 million U.S. dollars, marking a year-over-year growth of 10 percent.

The booming floral economy in China has increased its market's appeal to international florists, with the three-day 27th Hortiflorexpo IPM Shanghai just concluded Saturday in Shanghai gathering about 700 enterprises from nearly 30 countries and regions around the world.

The international exhibitors at the event, who are from countries like Netherlands, Germany, Japan, UK, and France, showcased colorful flowers along with the counterparts from various provinces in China.

Many of the overseas exhibitors said they attached great importance to the huge Chinese market, and they are also benefiting from the strengthened global flower trade.

"We are working in 60 countries around the world, but China is one of our biggest countries to export," said Indrik Valli, an overseas flower exhibitor.

"Of course, there are many people in China. We can be interested, I think," said Richard, an exhibitor from Netherlands.
