Navigating Market Shifts: How FreightAmigo Empowers Chinese Exporters Amid Canton Fair Challenges

Introduction: The Changing Landscape of Chinese Exports

The Canton Fair, China’s largest trade expo, has long been a barometer for the country’s export health. However, recent reports suggest a significant decline in US orders, presenting new challenges for Chinese exporters.
