Nevertheless, the organizers are looking for ways to make some of them happen, even if not in a stationary form. As a result, the Canton Fair in 2020 will take place online. It is the biggest and most important trade show in China, and has been held continuously since 1957.
The official statement from the Deputy Director of the Trade Department of Guangdong stated that due to the spreading coronavirus pandemic, the Canton Fair was postponed. The spring edition of Canton Fair should start on April 15 and last until May. The fair has been held continuously since 1957.
