Danilo, a Brazilian student studying in Guangdong, was pleasantly surprised to find a familiar appliance he brought from Brazil at the Canton Fair. He exclaimed, "This small appliance is so useful! I brought it all the way from Brazil to China, and I never expected to see the manufacturer at the Canton Fair. It feels like home!" On the opening day of the 135th Canton Fair, Danilo, serving as an "explorer of China," explored the fairgrounds with reporters, marveling at the new products on display. After three hours of exploration, Danilo shared his experience with the media.
Reporter: Before coming to China, had you heard about the Canton Fair? And how many times have you attended it?
Danilo: Yes, I had heard about the Canton Fair. I knew it's a very important trade fair not only in China but also globally. For Brazilian buyers, the Canton Fair is a crucial opportunity to explore Chinese products. This is actually my second time attending the fair. I came last year shortly after arriving in Guangzhou to study.
Reporter: How was your previous visit to the Canton Fair?
Danilo: I have some foreign friends who are involved in import and export trade, and they often come to China, and have attended the Canton Fair for several times. Last year, they told me that I must visit the Canton Fair during my stay in Guangzhou, so I joined them.
Reporter: How did they describe the Canton Fair to you?
Danilo: They always told me how amazing and interesting it is. Even though my foreign friends have established cooperative relationships with Chinese manufacturers, they still look forward to attending the Canton Fair. Because the fair covers everything, showcasing the latest products and technologies, it’s always possible to find new business opportunities here.
Reporter: What products impressed you the most today?
Danilo: There were many products that left a deep impression on me. At the booth of iFLYTEK, I saw an AI translation device. I tested it with English and Portuguese, and it quickly translated my speech into Chinese with very high accuracy. It even offers an option for Brazilian Portuguese, which is very intelligent. This translation device not only supports voice input but can also translate text in images. Additionally, in the small home appliances section, I saw a smart cat litter box that can automatically handle a pet cat's waste and clean itself, which is incredibly convenient.
Reporter: What were your impressions of Chinese manufacturing before attending the Canton Fair? And after attending, do you have any new insights into Chinese manufacturing?
Danilo: Chinese manufacturing is definitely very well-known. But I also know that some people have biases against Chinese manufacturing, saying that Chinese products are of poor quality, but that's clearly not true. Nowadays, Chinese products are made with excellent design and quality. The headphones, electric shavers, and other products I use daily are not only made in China but are also Chinese brands. I really like these products, which I purchased in Brazil and brought to China. Today at the Canton Fair, I also saw products from Chinese brands that I usually use.
