Editor's Note
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair is a form of international trade activity aimed
at the development of China's normal trade with other countries and the promotion of mutual
understanding and friendship between the trading parties. Owing to its growing importance
in recent years, the Fair has aroused ever greater interest among the businessmen aboard. It
has come to our knowledge that there is an intense demand for publications giving comprehensive
information about the Fairs. Such demand comes not only from businessmen in Hong Kong
and Macao and overseas Chinese residing in diverse areas, but also from our friends in the business
circles of foreign countries. Although we have printed from time to time in our newspaper reports
on the activities of the Fairs, the demand remains unsatisfied as it is indeed very inconvenient to
refer to our reports which are scattered in the different issues of our newspaper. To the foreigners
who do not read Chinese, these reports are not at all helpful. It is therefore quite necessary to
publish a special booklet on the Fair in both Chinese and English for the convenience of both
Chinese and foreign readers.
The material contained in this booklet is mainly drawn from the recent Fair held in the
Autumn in 1959. Informations on previous Fairs as well as important documents on China's
foreign trade are also included. We hope it will help our readers to get better acquainted with
the nature of the Fairs and to have a general idea about China's foreign trade policy and its
development.
We have very little previous experience in compiling publications of this nature. It is
therefore hoped that our readers will not hesitate to give us suggestions which will help improve
our future publications of a similar nature.

CHINA'S FOREIGN TRADE --IN- THE
PAST TEN YEARS
By Yeh Chi-chuang
of Foreign Trade of the People's Republic of China
Independent Foreign Trade
It is now 10 years since the inauguration of the
People's Republic of China. These are the 10 years
of the Chinese people's advance in tremendous strides
along the road of Socialism-the road of prosperity and
affluence. In these years, under the correct leadership
of the Chinese Communist Party, they have exerted
prodigious effort and manifested boundless collective
intelligence. Successfully carrying out the socialist
revolution and socialist construction, they have scored
spectacular accomplishments on every front. Espe-
cially in 1958 and the past months this year, when,
under the beacon-light of the General Line for build-
ing socialism by "going all out, aiming high and get-
ting greater, faster, better and more economical results",
the Chinese people have achieved the Big Leap For-
ward in national economy, and have wrought profound
historical changes in China's social life and national
economy.
In these 10 years, on the foundation of the mighty
victories won in China's socialist revolution and socia-
list construction, and in step with the steady rise of
her national economy and the broad development of
her relations with other countries, China has also made
great strides in foreign trade. With the inauguration
of the People's Republic, imperialist privileges in China
were completely smashed and the Chinese people reco-
vered their sovereign rights in customs administration
and took the key to China's door in their own hands.
With the total shattering of old China's dependence on
imperialism for external trade, an independent, socialist
foreign trade was established. New China's trade was
no longer the imperialists' instrument for plundering
and exploiting the Chinese people, but a means of
serving the interests of China's broad masses and socia-
list construction, firmly held in the hands of the peo-
ple's democratic government under the leadership of
the Chinese working class.
Even in the early days of the People's Republic,
socialist state-operated foreign trade assumed a leading
position in China's foreign trade, and quickly became
predominant. In line with the victorious achievement
in the socialist revolution, China's private foreign trade
business passed in 1956 into joint state-and-private
ownership on a business-wide scale, thereby complet-
ing in the main its socialist transformation.
To consolidate the positive leadership of the peo-
ple's democratic government in matters of foreign
trade, to keep secure the nation's full independence in
foreign trade, and to assure its planned development by
correctly carrying out the Party's policies and prin-
ciples, we have consistently pursued the policy of state
control and protection. The Common Programme pro-
mulgated by the Chinese People's Political Cor;ultative
Conference in Sept. 1949 specifically declares: "To put
into effect control of foreign trade, and t6 adopt a policy
of trade protection". This policy manifests the deter-
mination of the Chinese people, who have risen to their
own feet, to strengthen their nation's position of in-
dependence and sovereignty. In accordance with this
policy, the Chinese Government has introduced a series
of measures-the control of import and export com-
modities by categories; an import and export license
system; protective tariffs; prevention of smuggling;
foreign exchange control; inspection, testing and con-
trol of the qualities of export and import commodities;
registration of private import and export firms; control
of foreign firms. The policy of trade control has yield-
ed results which prove that the policy is entirely cor-
rect and necessary. The control measures so adopted
have effectively barred the imperialist economic ag-
gression, protected the growth of Chinese industrial and
agricultural production, assured the conduct of the na-
tion's foreign trade entirely in accordance with its own
fixed policy, principles and plans, and facilitated the
utilizing, restricting and transforming of the private
import and export business. In our trade with the
fraternal socialist countries, these measures have streng-
thened economic co-operation according to plan.
Developing Trade with Foreign Countries on the
Basis of Equality and Mutual Benefit
Since the founding of the People's Republic, we
have persistently adhered to the policy of establishing
and developing trade relations with all countries of
the world on the principle of equality and mutual be-
nefit. As a result of the people's unremitting efforts
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/13: CIA-RDP80T00246AO55100280001-9
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/13: CIA-RDP80T00246AO55100280001-9
in following this policy, the past 10 years have seen
considerable development in China's trade relations
with foreign countries. To date, we have established
trade relations with 93 countries and regions of the
world, and have concluded inter-governmental trade
treaties or agreements with 27 of them.
Our trade with the fraternal socialist states is an
important part of the new socialist international rela-
tions. It is a major form of economic co-operation and
mutual support among the socialist countries. Consis-
tently adhering to the principle of positive collabora-
tion, equality, mutual benefit, factuality and practica-
hility, and displaying a combination of patriotism and
internationalism, New China has, in the 10 years since
its founding, developed trade with the socialist coun-
tries in a planned way on the basis of actual needs
and feasibility, and worked for close co-operation and
trade, each side helps

as a

and does
its best to satisfy
the requirements
of the other. To
develop trade
relations in a
planned way,
every year since
1950 China has
concluded trade
agreements with
the socialist coun-
tries or signed
protocols for ex-
change of goods
in accordance
with existing tr-
ade agreements.
She has also
concluded with
the U.S.S.R. a
Sino-Soviet Un-
ion Treaty of
Commerce and
Navigation, and
has signed or is
negotiating long-
term trade agree-
ments with many
of the fraternal
states of the so-
cialist camp.
Trade with
the socialist coun-
tries is the most secure and reliable foundation for
the development of our foreign trade and also the
most important part of it. In the wake of the
rapid economic upsurge of all socialist countries and
the ever stronger solidarity and closer co-operation
between them, trade between China and the fraternal
states is enjoying a continual and steady growth. By
1958, the volume of this trade had increased more
than 5-fold over 1950. In the past 10 years, trade
with the socialist states has accounted for about 75?')
of the total volume of China's foreign trade.
Through the channel of trade we have obtained
large amounts of economic aid from the fraternal so-
cialist countries, particularly the U.S.S.R. The goods
imported from these countries are all essential to the
economic construction of China or to her people's liv-
ing, with the overwhelmingly greater part consisting
of machinery and equipment so very useful to the de-
velopment of her industrial and agricultural production,
scientific and technological research and transportation.
Of these, complete sets of plant equipment supplied us
for some of our large industrial projects by the Soviet
Union and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe,
are the most important items. We have also import-
ed from the socialist countries quantities of essential
consumer goods such as sugar, paper, medicine, pe-
troleum, etc.
In export, we have also done our best to satisfy
the requirements of the socialist countries. Exports in
this connection consist mainly of items the socialist
countries need-minerals, animal by-products, agricul-
tural and subsidiary agricultural products and their
processed goods, foods, consumer goods, handicrafts,
etc. A number of industrial manufactures have been
added in recent years, and some light industry equip-
ment has been exported to some Eastern European and
Asian socialist countries. These goods are helpful in
developing the national economy of the importing
countries and in supplying the wants of their peoples.
Besides trade, we have also had close and exten-
sive relations with the socialist states in such matters
as economic assistance, loans, scientific work, techno-
logy, transportation and communications.
Progress of Trade with Afro-Asian Countries
Considerable progress has also been registered in
our trade with the Asian-African countries and regions
during the past 10 years. To date, we have concluded
inter-governmental trade agreements with Ceylon, In-
donesia, Burma, India, the United Arab Republic, Cam-
bodia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Tunis, Morocco and Iraq.
By 1958, our trade with the nationalist countries of Asia
and Africa had mounted 1.8 times over 1950. Besides
partially supplying these countries with some of their

peoples' needs for everyday living, some machinery and
complete sets of plant equipment essential to the de-
velopment of their national industry were furnished
in compliance with their wishes and in accordance with
China's capabilities. At the instance of Cambodia, Ne-
pal, Yemen, Indonesia and Ceylon, we have extended
economic and technical assistance with no political
"strings" being attached. Since our own industrial
strength is still weak, our standing in science and te-
chnology still not high, it is obvious that our ability to
extend economic and technical aid is limited. Never-
theless, by this kind of friendly co-operation, China
manifests her cordial desire to render positive assis-
tance to the Asian-African countries for the develop-
ment of their independent, sovereign economy. Facts
have attested that our trade with these countries is
beneficial in developing self-reliantly the independent,
sovereign economies of both partners, and in promoting
mutual friendship. The rapid growth of trade be-
tween China and the Asian-African countries in the
past 10 years demonstrates that China's trade policy
of equality, mutual benefit and mutual supply of needs
has yielded good results and has been gaining increas-
ing attention from the governments and popularity
from the peoples of these countries and regions.
Trade with Western and Latin American
Countries making Headway
While carrying on active trade with the socialist
and Asian-African countries, we have also been con-
sistently establishing and promoting commercial rela-
tions with the Western countries. Some of these coun-
tries, subservient to U.S. imperialism, have since 1950
subscribed to the American-imposed "embargo" policy
against China. It has become all too evident that the
"embargo" has failed. Yet they still repeatedly re-
sort to measures of discrimination to restrict Chinese
exportation into their countries. Facts show that all
such actions have totally failed in impeding the vic-
torious implementation of China's economic construc-
tion and the development of her foreign trade. In-
stead, these actions have met with the strong opposition
of the peace-loving nations and peoples of the world,
and are becoming increasingly unpopular even among
the Western countries.
Under the impetus of our peaceful trade policy of
equality and mutual benefit together with the efforts
of the broad masses and businessmen of the Western
world, our trade with the Western countries has been
growing in recent years. Thus far, China has succes-
sively signed inter-governmental agreements with Fin-
land, Sweden, Denmark and Norway; the China Council
for the Promotion of International Trade and China's
national trade corporations dealing in various specialized
lines have also signed non-governmental agreements
or contracts with the firms or business organizations
of such countries as Great Britain, France, West Ger-
many, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium
and Italy.
In the 10 years just past, our commercial relations
with Latin American countries have also enjoyed a
sizable degree of recovery and progress. Friendly
contacts have increased between China and the non-
governmental bodies or businessmen of some Latin-
American countries. Trade between China and Latin
America has ample possibility for development. Large
numbers of Latin American people and businessmen
have in recent years voiced their desire to establish
and promote commercial relations with China in in-
creasing degree, a desire China heartily endorses and
welcomes. It is the wish of the Chinese people to work

Foreign Trade to Serve the Interests of China's
Industrial and Agricultural Production
and Socialist Construction
Foreign trade is a component part of China's na-
tional economy. Since the founding of the People's
Republic, our foreign trade, consistently following the
General Line and the economic policies of the Chinese
Communist Party and the State, has planned the flow
of goods between the domestic and foreign markets
in such a way as to serve the interests of China's in-
dustrial and agricultural production and socialist cons-
truction.
On the basis of the rapid recovery and expansion
of her national economy, China's total import and ex-
port figures have been showing sizable gains. The
1958 total for import and export was about 3 times
that of the 1950 figure. International payments have
always been kept in balance, completly putting an
end to the heavy adverse trade situation which old
China suffered for a long period.
In imports, means of production, or capital goods,
have accounted for an overwhelmingly large part. The
importation of these goods effectively helped the re-
covery and expansion of China's industry and agricul-
ture, lent support to the big leap forward of 1958 of
her national economy and quickened the pace of her
socialist industrialization. Special mention should be
made of the huge, generous and unselfish aid extend-
ed us by the Soviet Union and other socialist coun-
tries, which has played an exceedingly important part
in accelerating China's socialist construction and laying
a preliminary foundation for her socialist industrializa-
tion.
Vis-a-vis China's development in industry and
agriculture, a remarkable change has also taken place
in the character of exports in the past ten years. In
the old days, by far the larger part of our export
goods consisted of agricultural produce, subsidiary farm
products, and items processed from these goods. But
now that our industrial capacity has multipled, the
export of industrial and mining products are increasing.
Many items which China was unable to manufacture
herself or had to import to meet domestic needs, such
as machine tools, machinery, some kinds of chemicals,
bicycles, sewing machines, etc., need no longer to be
imported and have even become available for export
in a certain quantity.
In arranging the scope of export goods, the prin-
ciple of giving all-round consideration to all aspects
has always been adhered to, so that a proper ratio can
be maintained between home consumption and foreign
sales. On the one hand, assurance is made of the
supply of major items of goods to the domestic market,
and on the other, assurance of exports according to
requirements and capability in order to import what
we need. Over the past years, the total value of Chi-
nese exports generally accounted for some 4`% of the
nation's total industrial and agricultural product (in
value). In general, the amount of all major items of
exports took a rational percentage in the total national
output of the year. The planning and arrangements
of exports have in the main been conducted in confor-
mity with the requirements of our national economy.
Assurance is given both to the basic requirements of
the home market and to the requirements of export;
consideration is given both to current and long-term
interests of the Chinese people. In fact, in keeping with
China's growth in industry and agriculture, the supply
of commodities for domestic consumption has been for
the past 10 years enjoying a continual rise, to the con-
siderable betterment of people's living. Take the year

gained 23% over 1952; edible vegetable oil, 35%.
The malicious calumny of reactionary imperialists term-
ing China's export trade as "hunger export" can stand
no factual test.
Principles and Policies
In the past 10 years, we have conducted our work
in foreign trade persistently in pursuance of the Party's
and the State's General Line and various principles and
policies. Following are some comprehensions formed
in this field:
1. Rigorous observance of the Party's and the
State's General Line constitutes a fundamental assu-
rance for the work of foreign trade to march forward
on a right course and to serve effectively the cause of
socialist construction and socialist transformation. In
the first half of 1958, the Chinese Communist Party,
drawing from their experience in the Chinese socialist
revolution and socialist construction, put forth the
General Line for building socialism by "going all out,
aiming high and getting greater, faster, better and
more economical results". In accordance with this
general line for socialism, the guiding policies were
laid down of simultaneous development of industry and
agriculture on the basis of giving priority to heavy in-
dustry, of simultaneous development of heavy and light
industries, of simultaneous development of national
and local industries, of simultaneous development of
large enterprises, medium-sized and small enterprises,
of simultaneously employing modern and indigenous
methods of production, and of combining centralized
leadership with full-scale mass movements in industry.
All these policies are, in a word the policy of "walking
on two legs" summed up from the experiences gained
in the course of the big leap forward
in industry and agriculture in 1958,
and form the paramount policies for
carrying out the General Line to build
socialism. Since China's foreign trade
is a component part of her national
economy as well as an important link
in her socialist construction, the work
in foreign trade must be conducted
in compliance with the Party's and
State's General Line to assure the im-
plementation of the above-mentioned
policies and to serve the general tasks
of the Party and State. In the past 10
years, our foreign trade has had all its
guiding principles, policies and tasks
based on the General Line, thereby
guaranteeing that the work in foreign
trade march in the correct direction
at all times, adequately demonstrating the superiority
of socialist foreign trade, working in close co-ordination
with the nation's peaceful socialist construction and
effectively serving the cause of socialism.
2. Our foreign trade must be conducted strictly
on the principle of self-reliance as the chief means and
external aid as the auxiliary means. This is China's
fundamental policy for building socialism. As China is
a country of vast population, extensive territory and
immensely rich natural resources, yet with an under-
developed economy, she must mainly depend on her
own resources-manpower, material resources, finance
-to build herself up step by step into a great so-
cialist country having modern industry, modern agri-
culture, and advanced science and culture. She must
fully bring out the wisdom and energy of the entire
nation, work hard and struggle hard, exercise diligence
and thrift. With self-reliance as the pre-condition, she
will also bid for appropriate aid from the fraternal so-
cialist states in accordance with needs and possibilities.
This kind of aid is an important and advantageous con-
dition for China to push forward her socialist construc-
tion at a high speed. Guided by this policy, the main
task of our foreign trade is to carry out successfully
the work of drawing external aid in support of our
socialist construction. This policy teaches us to con-
duct foreign trade on the principle of factuality and
practicability and to do business according to capability
instead of wishful thinking. It is our desire to promote
by means of trade, self-reliance in each country, and
common economic upsurge among the fraternal socialist
states and prosperity and welfare in the nationalist and
peace-loving countries of the world.
3. Strict observance of the socialist foreign policy
of peace and the peaceful economic policy is the firm,
undeviating tenet of China's foreign trade. The

Constitution of China proclaims, "In international af-
fairs our firm and consistent policy is to strive for the
noble cause of world peace and the progress of hu-
manity". Pledged to this principle, we persistently be-
take ourselves to consolidating and strengthening the
fraternal solidarity and co-operation with the stalwart
bulwark-the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union
that stands for lasting world peace. Guided by the
ideals of Marxism-Leninism, all socialist countries are
marching on hand in hand towards the lofty objective
of Socialism and Communism. Our trade with these
fraternal states is and will forever be the most impor-
tant and most reliable part and foundation of our
foreign trade. At the same time we also seek to pro-
mote trade relations according to factuality and practi-
cability with the nationalist countries on the prin-
ciple of equality, mutual benefit and mutual satisfac-
tion of needs. We are also willing to trade with other
countries of the world on the basis of equality and mu-
tual benefit, irrespective of their social systems. We
stand in no fear of peaceful emulation with capitalism,
being fully confident that victory will come to us be-
cause of the unmatched superiority of socialism and the
planned development of our economy which rules out
economic crisis and external expansionism. This de-
termines the nature of China's foreign trade which is
totally different in pith and substance from the self-
seeking and aggressive trade of the imperialist coun-
tries. Our foreign trade is incapable of becoming ex-
pansionist or of seizing upon a foreign market to the
exclusion of others. We desire only to carry out nor-
mal and peaceful commerce with others, but we shall
sternly refuse to tolerate any attempt by others to in-
fringe upon our interests. It must be pointed out also
that since our foreign trade is carried out under a
foreign policy of peace, it therefore follows that com-
mercial intercourse with us can only develop normally
with a reciprocal political attitude of friendship. Some
Western countries seek to promote trade with China,

but at the same time they adopt an attitude of political
or economic discrimination against us. Such a way of
thinking is indeed unrealistic.
4. The policy of equality, mutual benefit, mutual
supply of needs, exchange of goods and balance of
trade is the fundamental principle for the prosecution
of our foreign trade, and has always been adhered to
in our practical trade activities. Trade with the socia-
list countries has always followed this policy. And
our exchange of goods with many nationalist countries
of Asia and Africa in pursuance of this policy has
yielded results beneficial to each other's economic de-
velopment and peaceful co-existence. As a result of
the imperialists, long years of monopoly and occupation
of foreign markets and raw material-producing areas,
many of the nationalist countries have been suffering
from economic under-development and difficulties in
foreign exchange payment. To the Chinese people who
had much the same experience in history, the circums-
tances of these countries are well understandable. It
is deeply comprehended that to develop trade relations
that suit the needs of both sides, in accordance with
the above-mentioned principles is highly conducive to
building up the independent economy of each and
beneficial to the foreign exchange payments of both.
As to the Western countries, we are also willing to
carry on trade with them on these principles, with a
view to keeping a two way traffic in trade and a balance
in the main of imports and exports. But some of the
Western countries, obstinately continuing their trade
discriminations against China, are restricting the import
of Chinese commodities into their lands, a measure that
will inevitably cause a corresponding reduction of im-
ports into China from these countries. This results in
the shrinking of their foreign markets and adds diffi-
culties to their overseas sales, without any harm what-
soever to China. It is an established fact that the "em-
bargo" and all other trade restrictions and discrimina-

tions against China have failed to impede the growth
of China's industry and agriculture and, on the con-
trary, have in some ways prompted the building up of
our nation at a great speed under the spirit of self-
reliance. Some people have indulged in the idea that
China must of necessity trade with the Western count-
ries, wishfully thinking of gaining large profits out of
trade with China - a grossly absurd idea indeed.
5. To adhere correctly to fair and reasonable prices
and to oppose exchange of goods at unequal value, is
the business tenet of our socialist trade which has been
consistently observed. As is widely known, the capi-
talist countries' trade with under-developed countries is
characterized by exchange at unequal value. Employ-
ing various forms of monopoly, the capitalists can de-
press the raw material prices to a desired low, and
market their surplus goods to the raw material-pro-
ducing countries at high prices. Meanwhile, prices in
the capitalist world market are controlled by the im-
perialist monopolist groups and are constantly subject
to violent fluctuations due to the economic crisis of
capitalism and to speculation. This is to the serious
detriment of the under-developed, raw material-expor-
ting countries. In our trade with the socialist states,
relatively stable prices are employed, thereby avoiding
the effects of price fluctuations of the international
capitalist market. This facilitates the planning and
arrangement of our economy and the superiority of
this method has more and more clearly manifested
itself. We shall be glad to try to apply step by step a
system of fair and reasonable prices to our trade with
the nationalist countries, so that both sides may benefit
from it.
To Further Develop Peaceful
Foreign Trade
Our achievements in foreign
trade in the past 10 years vividly de-
monstrate the superiority of socialism
and adequately show that our peaceful
socialist foreign trade is in accord
with the interest of all peoples of the
world and that of world peace. The
imperialist reactionaries who had
been thrown out of China by the
Chinese people asserted that China
would be unable to manage her own
economy. And American imperialism
went to the lengths of compelling oth-
er states to subscribe to its "embargo"
policy against China, fancying that
this could strangle the economy of
China and sabotage her cause of soc-
ialism. All these intrigues have
utterly broken down.
The tremendous achievements of China's peaceful
foreign trade are a part of the brilliant victories of the
Chinese Communist Party's and State's General Line
and the foreign policy of peace and the peaceful econo-
mic policy. They are the results of the utmost efforts
and unremitting struggles of the broad masses of the
nation on all fronts of production and construction in
general and the people's ardent support to the work
of foreign trade in particular. At the same time the
achievements are inseparable from the friendly co-ope-
ration and positive aid of the Soviet Union and other
socialist countries. From these countries we derive,
in addition, the benefit of learning from their ad-
vanced experiences in foreign trade and to adapt them
to Chinese conditions. Henceforth we shall continue
in following determinedly the leadership of the Party,
and, in relying on the powerful support of the entire
nation and on the aid of the socialist countries headed
by the Soviet Union. With the prerequisite of imple-
menting the General Line and policies of the Party and
the State, we shall work for more and better attainments
in foreign trade on the foundation of the achievements
and experiences of the past 10 years and in co-ordina-
tion with the big leap forward of our national economy.
We shall continue our efforts to consolidate and streng-
then our friendship, solidarity, co-operation and mutual
aid with the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union,
and to promote trade relations with the nationalist
countries, Latin American countries and all peace-
loving countries, in order to make our foreign trade
of better service to China's socialism and contribute
further positive part to the cause of world peace and
the progress of humanity.

The Chinese Export Commodities
Fairs - A Retrospect
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair is or-
ganized for developing normal international trade based
on the principle of equality and mutual benefit, and
promoting mutual understanding and closer friendship
between the Chinese people and peoples of other nations.
The main features of the Fair are: .(1) numerous
samples of Chinese export commodities are exhibited
for inspection and placing orders; (2) businessmen
from Hong Kong, Macao and foreign countries are in-
vited to visit the Fair and discuss business in person;
(3) representatives of Chinese. Trade Corporations are
present at the Fair to receive visitors and to conclude
deals with them; (4) purchase of import commodities
needed by China are also considered in addition to sale
of exports.
The previous Chinese Export Commodities Fairs
have always been held in Canton, metropolis of South
China. The following is a brief account of all the
previous Fairs of Chinese export commodities.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Spring),
1957: This Fair was the first Fair held in Canton after the
Exhibition of Chinese Export Commodities in Autumn
1956. It was opened on April 25th and closed on May
25th. More than 1,200 visitors from 19 countries and
territories were present at the Fair where some 12,900
items of commodities were on display. Several thou-
sand contracts were signed there.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Au-
tumn), 1957: This Fair lasted one and a half months
from October 15th to November 30th, 1957. More
than 1,900 visitors attended the Fair where about 14,
000 items were on display. Business done during the
Fair was 363% of that of the previous Fair.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Spring),
1958: The Fair, held from April 15th to May 15th,
1958, had on display over 2,000 items more than the
previous one. More than 2,200 visitors from 36 coun-
tries and regions attended and the total value of
transaction was 789% of that of the Spring Fair in 1957.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Au-
tumn), 1958: Opened on October 15th and closed on
November 30th, 1958, this Fair had more than 22,000
items on display, including several thousand new items
produced during the Great Leap Forward in China.
visited the Chinese Export Commodities
Fairs or Exhibitions in Canton since 1957.
Both the Fairs and the permanent Exhibition
have been serving a useful purpose in pro-
moting normal trade between China and other
countries and furthering mutual understand-
ing and friendship between the Chinese peo-
ple and peoples of different nations.

Business done between Chinese trade delegations and
many of the 3,100 visitors was over 250% of the Au-
tumn 1957 figure, or 15% larger than the record held
by the Spring Fair, 1958.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Spring),
1959: About 2,500 people visited the Fair which was
held from April 15th to May 15th, 1959. Among the
items on display were 2,500 new ones introduced to
visitors for the first time. A total of 10,000 contracts
were signed with a total value several times that of the
first trade fair held in Canton. This value covered
only the transactions in spot cargo and near future.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Au-
tumn), 1959: Though lasting only a month from
November 1st to November 30th, 1959, half a month
shorter than the two previous Autumn Fairs, this Fair
had been the largest thus far, with an increase of 2,000
odd new items as compared with the Fair held in Spring
the same year. Three thousand visitors attended the
Fair and a large number of contracts were signed.
Both import and export transactions concluded dliring
the Fair exceeded the previous record.
For the convenience of the visitors, facilities such
as post and tele-communications, banking, insurance
and shipping were always provided at the Fair. There
were also off-sale counters selling samples and shops
selling food and drinks.
All the previous Fairs have taken place in the
Chinese Export Commodities Exhibition Hall in Canton.
This permanent Exhibition Hall, much needed as (Chi=na's) foreign trade continuously expands, was inaugurat-
ed in Spring, 1957. In 1959, when the variety of (Chi-
na's) export commodities has further increased as a
result of the Great Leap Forward in China's industry
and agriculture, a new Hall was built covering an area of
34,000 square metres, almost treble the size of the old
hall. The new building was completed in time for the
opening of the Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Au-
tumn), 1959.
Thousands of visitors from nearly 100 countries
and regions in the world's five continents, includ-
ing businessmen, government officials, writers,scientists,
artists, religious personalities as well as public leaders and
well-known personalities working for world peace, have

AT A (RAND RECEPTION
The opening speech, by the Chairman of the Committee for the Chinese Export
Commodit es Fair, dealing with the Fair and China's foreign tr:tae.
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair for Au-
tumn 1959 was opened in the newly completed Chinese
Export Commodities Exhibition Hall on the 1st No-
vember, 1959. As soon as the main doors were thrown
open at 8.00 a.m., foreign visitors and overseas Chinese,
who had rushed from different countries to Canton in
time for the opening, and businessmen from Hongkong
and Macao flocked into the Hall to inspect the samples
of various kinds of export commodities and start business
talks with the representatives of the Chinese foreign trade
corporations present at the Fair. In every negotiation
room and at every table, negotiations were held with
enthusiasm and surrounded with friendly atmosphere.
At 6.00 p.m., a grand reception was held on the
6th floor, in celebration of the opening of the Chinese
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FAIR
The Chinese Export Commodities Fair (Autumn), 1959, was
the sixth Fair held since the Spring of 1957. It was also the biggest.
The samples of exportable commodities exhibited there were more
than twenty thousand different kinds, including about two thousand
kinds of new products. In response to invitation of the Fair, nearly
three thousand businessmen from scores of countries in all the
continents came to attend the Fair. The transactions concluded to-
talled over 500,000,000 Jen-Min-Pi in value (over 73,000,000 sterling
or 1,100,000,000 Hong Kong dollars).
On the closing day, another mammoth reception was held in
celebration of the success achieved by the Fair. Over a thousand
invited guests attended, including businessmen of different countries
who were still there and the representatives of the different Chinese
Joint Trade Delegations.
At the reception, Mr. Wei Ching-fei, Chairman of the Com-
mittee for the Chinese Export Commodities Fair, made a speech, in
which he referred to the great number of export and import contracts
signed between China's industrial and commercial friends who had
visited the Fair and the Joint Trade Delegations of China.
Mr. Wei Ching-fei added: "During this Fair, our export com-
modities were sold to over 50 countries and regions. This shows a
greater amount of business concluded in exports and in imports than
any one of our previous Export Commodities Fairs. Throughout the
Fair, in addition to doing actual business, all business parties con-
cerned had frank discussions with one another on matters of mutual
interest and beneficial to fut""re business development. By so doing,
much benefit is derived for the further expansion of business relations
between the business parties concerned."
Regarding the great amount of business concluded at the Fair
and the tremendous achievements obtained, Mr. Wei Ching-fai said:
"They are the results of our country's Big Leap Forward in industrial
and agricultural production, which have placed very much more
goods at the disposal of our export trade; they are also the results of
our government's consistent adherence to the foreign policy of peace
and our foreign trade policy of equality and mutual benefit. They
are no less due to the efforts made by the Chinese people and by our
business friends who have attended the Fair, and to the victories
gained by the peoples of the world in striving towards the develop-
ments of normal international trade relations, and in opposing the
creation of artificial barriers to trade."
The air of enthusiasm and friendliness permeatted through-
out the reception. To the achievements won by the Fair, the con-
tinued development of business between all the parties concerned and
the further strengthening of mutual friendship, toasts were frequently
drunk between the guests and the hosts.
Export Commodities Fair for Autumn 1959 and of the
completion of the new building for the Chinese Export
Commodities Exhibition Hall. More than 1,400 persons
attended, including businessmen from many countries
and regions of the world and the representatives of
the Chinese foreign trade corporations.
The first to address the reception was Mr. Wei
Ching-fei, Chairman of the Committee for the Chinese
Export Commodities Fair, who extended a hearty wel-
come on behalf of the Fair to visitors from different
countries, overseas Chinese, and Chinese from Hong-
kong and Macao.
He said: "It is now ten full years from the day
the People's Republic of China was founded. During
these ten years, our country has consistently adhered
to a socialist foreign policy of peace and a peaceful
economic policy, as is clearly defined in the Constitu-
tion of the People's Republic of China: 'In international
affairs our firm and consistent policy is to strive for the
noble cause of world peace and the progress of hu-
manity.'
"Guided by the policies just mentioned, our
country has always advocated the establishment and
development of peaceful trade relations with other
countries on the basis of respect for each other's
national sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit, and
mutual supply of needs; these are in compliance with
the common desires of the people all over the world,
and widely meet with the hearty approval of business
circles in all countries."
Referring to the useful purpose served by the
Fair for trade, Mr. Wei Ching-fei said: "Beginning
from 1957, the Chinese Export Commodities Fair was
held twice a year in Canton under the joint sponsorship
of our national foreign trade corporations, and practical
experience gained therefrom tells us that the holding
of these Fairs has served an ever-increasing useful
purpose in the development of normal trade relations
between China and other countries, and in advancing
the mutual understanding and friendly co-operation
between our people and those of other countries. At
the same time, it is further proved that the holding
of these Fairs is not only in compliance with our
country's foreign policy of peace and her peaceful
economy policy, but are also in line with the demands
of business circles of the world."
Mr. Wei Ching-fei added: "On the basis of the
brilliant achievements of our Big Leap Forward in

Forward this year. Due to the rapid development of
our industrial and agricultural production, Chinese
export commodities have not only increased in variety,
but their quality and standard are also undergoing
constant improvement, thereby offering abundant ma-
terial condition for the further development of our
foreign trade. The present new building, covering
three times the ground area of the former one, is
built in order to meet rapidly developing conditions in
respect of our foreign trade.
"Rapid changes are now taking place in China.
Take the present Exhibition Hall building for instance.
On the closing day of the last Fair, erection work had
only just begun, but now the building is completed,
and to-day it is being used for holding the present
Fair. This fact, small as it is, offers strong proof of
the rapidity of our various forms of construction and
the huge achievements gained under the beacon-light
of the General Line for building Socialism. Therefore,
those gentlemen who have been spreading slander about
our General Line, our Big Leap Forward and our
People's Communes can but reveal their own stupidity
and ignorance."
In conclusion, Mr. Wei Ching-fei said: "Ladies
and Gentlemen: Beginning from to-day, the Fair will
be open for one month. We hope that our business
friends from different parts of the world will conclude
mutually satisfactory transactions with the represen-
tatives of our foreign trade corporations of various
cities in China by adhering to the principle of equality,
mutual benefit, mutual supply of needs, and to the
spirit of factuality and practicability."
Mr. Chiang Ming, Vice-Minister of Foreign
Trade, and Mr. Chu Kwang, Mayor of Canton, also
spoke at the reception.
Then Mr. Silver, Chairman of the Council
for Promotion of International Trade, Brazil; Mr.
Ko Chok-hong, President of the Chinese General
Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong; and Mr. Ho
Yin, Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of
Commerce, Macao, followed successively.
From the beginning to the end, an atmosphere
of gaiety and cheerfulness permeated through the recep-
tion. The toasting of "Gan Bei" rang continuously.
When it was over, the whole party went to the "Tung
Shan Hall" to enjoy an soiree by well-known artists.
Besides brilliant performances of songs and dances, Mr.
Ma Shih-tseng and Miss Hung Hsien Nu, the leading
actor and actress of Kwangtung opera, played an act of
the famous piece entitled "Kwan Han Ching" which
deservedly brought down the house.

Achievements of the Autumn Trade Fair, 1959
An interview given by the Secretary-General of the Fair
The achievements of the Chinese Export Commodities Trade Fair, Autumn, 1959, held in Canton in
November of that year were outlined in an exclusive interview given by Mr. Yen Yih-chun, the Secretary-
General of the Fair.
Mr. Yen, a zealous promoter for normal international trade said that although the Autumn Fair
was one-month shorter than the two fairs held in the two preceding autumns, it had been more successful than
any previous trade fairs of Chinese export commodities.
Mr. Yen listed two principal achievements, the first being the successful conclusion of a large number
of contracts of imports and exports to the mutual benefit of both parties. Nearly 3,000 businessmen from
dozens of countries on five continents had accepted invitation and attended the Autumn Fair, 1959. Trade
delegations dealing in native produce, edible oils, silk and silk piece goods, tea, foodstuffs, animal products,
sundries, minerals, chemicals and medicine, machinery, transport machinery, metals, instruments and whole-
plant equipments and representing China's various foreign trade corporations were present at the Fair to
discuss and conclude business transactions with the visiting businessmen. As a result of warm and friendly
discussion during the month, hundreds of contracts amounting to more than 73 million pounds sterling in total
were signed. With increases in both imports and exports, this total amount exceeded all the previous records.
In analysing the cause of the increase, Mr. Yen laid stress on the following points:
1. The Great Leap Forward in China's industry and agriculture which was achieved in 1958 and
continued in 1959 provided an even sounder material basis for the nation's foreign trade, rendering it possible
to expand international trade still further. Particularly notable was the fact that the export of steel products
for building purpose, machinary, textiles, cement, coal, canned goods, newsprint, certain instruments and daily
necessities all recorded increases of various degrees. The export commodities sold at the Fair were of greater
varieties than in the Autumn of 1958 including new ones which had become available for the first time owing
to the expansion of agriculture and industry as a result of the Great Leap Forward.
2. All export dealings were conducted by the buyers and sellers in person and samples were examined
on the spot. Guided by the principle of equality and mutual benefit, those took part in the discussion agreed
to adopt only those terms and conditions which were workable and advantageous to both. The interests of
both parties were taken into full consideration.
The Secretary-General pointed out that the Chinese Export Commodities Fair was engaged in both selling
Chinese export commodities and buying foreign goods needed by China. Purchases from visiting business-
men were made by China's representatives at all previous fairs with a view to promoting interflow of goods
under the principle of equality and mutual benefit.
At every trade fair in the past, import contracts of considerable amount were signed between China
on the one hand and visiting businessmen on the other. The value of the import transactions of the Au-
tumn Trade Fair in 1959 exceeded that of the Spring Fair of the same year by 35 per cent and that of
the Autumn Fair, 1958 by 50 per cent.
Mr. Yen added that imports would, of course, have to he those which meet the requirement of China's
economic construction or people's livelihood and that prices must be fair and reasonable. It was ridiculous
that certain countries were still reluctant to do away completely with the already bankrupt "embargo" and
attempting to sell at high price surplus goods that they could not get rid of, Mr. Yen said. He further
pointed out that when the present Fair was being held in Canton, Britain adopted new regulations restric-
ting the import of Chinese products. The Secretary-General stressed that measures such as this which
could only be termed as artificial and detrimental to the development of normal trade must be thoroughly
removed in order to ensure greater and better development of normal trade relations among different countries.
The second major achievement of the Fair was the enhancement of friendship. New friends had
been won. Old friendship were renewed and further consolidated. There were earnest exchanges of views
during the discussion on matters of mutual benefit, on the further development of trade relations between

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/13: CIA-RDP80T00246AO55100280001-9
China and other countries as well as on the cause of lasting peace.
Speaking of this aspect of the Fair's achievements, Mr.Yen expressed his pleasure to have made so
many new friends. He said: "We have succeeded in making many new friends at each trade Fair, and
moreover we are just too glad to have these frequent opportunities to meet our old friends. This friendship
is extremely precious to us as it will contribute to the further development of our foreign trade and to the
cause of lasting peace for the world."
Mr. Yen continued that, as was in the past, principal export commodities were assembled in the trade
fair enabling visitors to acquire a better understanding of them. At the autumn Fair, 1959, a total of over
20,000 varieties of samples representing main export commodities produced in China since the founding of
the People's Republic of China were on display. Among them the number of new products exceeded that
of the previous fair by almost 2,000. The total exhibition space of 20,000 sq. metres, was twice as large as that
of the last Fair. The rapid increase in the varieties of new products available for export was attributable to the
Great Leap Forward in China's industry and agriculture in recent years. There had been continuous improve-
ment in variety, packing, design and quality to suit the taste of the customers and the requirement of the
world market. The export commodities were gathered and exhibited systematically while new products were
being added from time to time, thus enabling not only new visitors to have a comparatively comprehensive
understanding towards Chinese export commodities but also those who visited every such Fair to have a new
impression. They were of the opinion that the constant and timely understanding towards Chinese export
commodities thus obtained would he advantageous to them in expanding their business and sphere of activities.
The Fair provided opportunities for Chinese foreign trade corporations and business friends from
different areas to make contact on a wide range and to have frank exchange of views on matters of mutual
interest and benefit. Certain problems arising out of normal business contact which could not be straightened out
by exchange of letters or telegrams could he settled to the satisfaction of both through personal contact.
This would he helpful to further enhancement of mutual understanding and friendship and further develop-
ment of business between the two parties.
Many useful and worthy suggestions on the quality, specification, packing and marketing process
were made by friends visiting the Fair. They also succeeded in acquiring a better understanding of China's
needs and the Chinese market, thus providing greater possibilities for future development of trade.
Immense interest to China's Great Leap Forward and people's commune was shown by those
visiting the Fair. Anxious to see actual conditions with their own eyes, the visitors spent their holidays to
visit some factories or the people's commune in the outskirts of the city. Doubts of some as to the
amazing achievement during the Great Leap Forward and the people's commune were removed following
these visits. After seeing the Canton Steel Works, some visitors were amazed to learn that steel works of
such a scale was established within an incredibly short period. Pointing out that it would have taken several
years to complete similar factories in Europe, they said these examples reflected the amazing speed at which the
Chinese people undertake to ccnstruct their country. Many friends were able to acquire a deeper under-
standing of the vastness of and the extent of public ownership in the people's commune, its superiority and
vitality, the organisation of prcduction and distribution as well as collective welfare of the members. It was
not surprising that some visitors concluded by saying "Long live people's commune."
Many visiting friends were convinced that China is a peace-loving country after they had concluded
business transaction with China, seen the samples on display and made contacts and visits. They left
with the realization that what the Chinese people are doing now is peaceful economic construction work and
that the vicious attack by some people against China's peaceful construction work, her Great Leap Forward
and the people's commune is nothing but stupidity and ignorance.
With these words, Mr. Yen concluded the interview: The trade fair shows clearly that on the
basis of equality and mutual benefit China leaves the door of foreign trade wide open to those countries
in the world desirous to do the same. It also shows that the Chinese people are sincere in their desire to
have peaceful co-existence with other nations. As the relaxation of international tension continues and
better conditions are being provided for expanding peaceful international trade, China will continue to hold
trade fairs at appropriate time in the future in order to promote peaceful international trade and peaceful
co-existence among nations. We wvelcome friendly businessmen from all areas to come and visit the Fair.

A Visit to the Canton Trade Fair
- by a correspondent
It was with the greatest enthusiasm that this
correspondent visited the Chinese Export Commodities
Fair in the autumn of 1959.
Development of China's metallurgical and
machinery industries.
The first thing that caught my eye as I entered
the west wing hall on the ground floor of the exhi-
bition building was a massive steel ingot. This
gigantic thing weighed 120 metric tons, standing on
a platform, almost touching the ceiling. Lathes and
machines were almost everywhere.
One of the most striking achievements of China's
iron and steel industry during its first ten years of
development had been the production of many
varieties of metallurgical products at an amazingly
high speed, leading to the early formation of the
groundwork and rapid enhancement of the technical
standard of that industry.
Steel production had been on the increase at an
annual average rate of 31.7 percent. Steel produced by
modern methods in 1958 surpassed the 1957 production
by 49.5 percent while 1959 saw another increase of
50 percent over the 1958 production. China was
able to produce by 1959 more than 500 varieties of
steel alloys and high quality steel and more than
6,000 varieties of steel products.
I saw, among the exhibits, more than 40 varieties
of nonferrous metals that China had produced in recent
years as well as many alloys including building steel,
welded and seamless steel tubes, steel plates and
sheets, high quality steel products, iron alloys, steel
belts, steel wire, malleable metal tubes, ball bearing
alloys and other ferrous metals and steel sections
totalling more than 50 varieties.
Among the machines exhibited were geared lathes,
model C620-1, turret lathes, Models C365L and
C385L, gear hobbing machine, Model J381, universal
milling machine, model X62W, as well as rotary
press model RPI-32 paper cutting machine, model
PC-36, and many others.
There were a match packing machine which
could pack 6,240 boxes of matches every hour and a
cigarette rolling machine made in Tsingtao which
could turn out 1,000 cigarette a minute.
An automatic telephone exchange occupied a
whole corner in the spacious right wing hall on the
ground floor. Many other machines including tractors,
combine harvesting machine, artificial rain sprayer,
road roller, concrete mixer, diesel engines and lorries
were found in the open air square immediately behind
the exhibition building. Rubber products of many
varieties were on display in the gallery abjacent to
the square.
The exhibits demonstrated vividly in my mind's
eye the surprisingly high speed at which new China's
metallurgical and machinery industry had been making
headway.
Native Products
Colourful, fragrant succulent and savoury food-
stuffs were on display on the first floor of the
building. They included dried and salted fish, frozen
lobsters, jellyfish, mutton, preserved fruits, canned

food, wines and liquors, tea, tobacco, fruit juice,
confectionery, biscuits, gourmet powder and soy
products. These are all popular foodstuffs, especially
among overseas Chinese who long for something
special from their homeland.
Traditional Medicines and its Preparations, Chemical
Ginseng and deer antler preparations were among
the hundreds of exhibits I saw in the Traditional
Medicine Department. Many of them were Chinese
traditional medicines yet they had been processed in
such a way as to make it easier to take while
possessing their original efficacy.
China, abundant in natural resources, provides
ample possibilities for a rapid development of her
chemical industry. However, such a rapid development
would not have been possible had there not been a
parallel development after the Liberation in the
related industries, e.g., mining, forestry and agriculture.
The production of chemical raw materials had
been on the increase by leaps and bounds since the
founding of the People's Republic of China ten years
ago. By 1959, the country was producing about
1,500 varieties of basic raw meterials which were all
up to international standards.
There were also many varieties of dyestuffs and
paints found among the exhibits in the same de-
partment.
Silk has been a traditional Chinese export for
centuries. This world-famous product gained further
improvement both in quality and quantity since the
Liberation. Apart from meeting domestic demand,
many new products were added to the traditional
export list, and found their way to more than seventy
countries and territories.
China's silk products have been winning praises
from consumers the world over.
Embroideries including garments, scarves, table
clothes, etc. dazzled my eyes as I entered a spacious
room on the second floor of the building. One of
the most attractive features was probably the
mannequins dressed in silk costumes. In this room
I saw a piece of brocade embroidered with original
manuscript of a famous poem composed by Chairman
Mao Tze-Tung. The needlework was so faithfully
and artistically executed that the brocade looks like
the original manuscript written by Chairman Mao
himself. I found many embroideries depicting birds,
animals and flowers-all genuine master pieces of art.
Tussah silk is a special Chinese product, for
which Honan, Shangtung and Liaoning are famous.
Piece-goods made with tussah silk are noted for
their durability.
Being strong, heat-resisting, insulating, acid-proof,
etc., tussah silk is used not only for making high grade
cloth but also as an important industrial raw material.
Textiles on display at the Trade Fair gave
evidence of the amazing improvement achieved during
the Great Leap Forward campaign since 1958. Many
new types of textile machinery including printing
and dyeing mechines invented or improved during
the campaigm by the workers and technicians to bring
about the spectacular advancement of technical
standards, many new products and latest designs
were added to the traditional ones. They included
very fine cotton yarn of 150 counts made from native
produced superior raw cotton, shrink-proof cotton
piece goods made of cotton yarn of 150 counts,
shrink-proof khaki cloth and printed cloth in eight
colour ways. Fabrics made of cotton and synthetic
fibres were also seen here. Among the woollen piece
goods were many fine quality overcoatings, ladies
coatings, gaberdines and many others up to the world
standard. New products which became available for
the first time in 1958 alone totalled more than 5,000.
Educational Supplies
Paintings by China's famous artists, handwritings
by the nation's well-known calligraphers, books,
stationeries, Chinese and Western musical instruments
and other educational odds and ends were found on
the 3rd floor of the building. Highly luxurious
stationeries included such products as fine "shuen"
paper from Fukien, Chinese writing brushes from
Peking, ink sticks from Hueichow, Anhuei province,
and ink stones from Shaoching, Kwangtung province
and from Kweichow.
In the same department were found many hide
and skin products, feather products as well as carpets
and draperies. Hanging on the wall was a very large
piece of drapery titled "Peace" with writing by Ko
Mo-jo were magnificently woven.
The Fairyland of Arts
There was a Fairyland of arts on the 4th floor
of the same building. Toys made me feel young,
porcelain ware dazzled my eyes. Arts and crafts with
unbelievable craftsmanship, drawn work from Swatow,
Shangtung, Fukien and Shanghai, embroideries from
Tientsin and Peking were among many other things
that were a sight for sore eyes.

The Exhibition Room of Chinese
Metallurgical Machinery
Visitors to the Autumn Trade Fair in 1959
were deeply impressed by the exhibition of products
of heavy industry. It demonstrated vividly how China,
within a short spell of ten years, had successfully
built up a heavy industry out of nothing and
proceeded at a speed unprecedented in the history of
any other country in the world. The progress achieved
during the two years since the inauguration of the
Great Leap Forward campaign in 1958 is particu-
larly noteworthy. Not only is China able to produce
airplanes, locomotives, internal combustion engines,
ships as well as whole sets of machinery for the
purpose of smelting steel, generating electricity,
manufacturing steel products and machines, she is
also in a position to export a great many types of
machinery, rolled steel machine tools and whole sets
of textile machinery, sugar-manufacturing equipment,
and metallugical equipment. Many of the products
have attained world standard or even the topmost
level reached by modern science.
On the north side of the lobby on the ground
floor is a very large hall with a total floor space of
500 square metres measuring more than nine metres
from floor to ceiling. Samples of lathes, machinery,
steel products and mining products are on display
there. The hall to the west of the lobby is even
larger with a total floor space of 1,000 square metres
where various large sized scientific instruments and
medical instruments are displayed. Tiny precision
instruments are on display on the first floor of the
hall. Immediately behind the lobby is an open court
space of more than 5, 000 square metres where
various transport and farm machines are stored. In
one corner of the gallery adjacent to the open
court one finds high pressure resisting rubber tube
and other industrial instruments made of rubber.
The first item catching one's eye when one
enters the north hall is a massive steel ingot model
weighing 120 metric tons. It is 6.5 metres high,
almost touching the ceiling and it takes three or four
persons joining hand in hand to encircle it. It is
the basic material for the manufacture of ocean-going
ships, giant turbines and the main shaft of power
generators. Systematically arranged around this
massive model are high-quality steel alloys, section
steels, steel plates and sheets, seamless steel tubes
and samples of non-ferrous metals and metallurgical
products. Forty sets of machine tools and machines
are placed in eight rows in the front portion of the
hall while in the rear portion textile machinery and
printing press are to be found.
There are many new products among the
machine tools. They include the 232 - L model
pneumatic and steam hammers for forging large steel
products, high speed lathe with its main shaft turning
2,000 times per minute, universal milling machine
Model X6W2 for making complicated machines and
spare parts suitable for small factory as well as big
automobile plant, turret lathe model C365L and
C385L capable of performing the very complicated
functions of manufacturing spare parts, grinding
machine Model M8612 for grinding precision troughs
with a diameter of 30 to 120 milimetres., internal
grinding machine model M2017 for grinding the
internal part of ball-bearings, cylindrical grinding
machine M1025, gear bobbing machine for cutting
gears, gear shaping machine model C8904, gear
grinding machine recently produced by the Shanghai
Lathe Manufactory, high precision lathe model
C620-3/1000 made by the First Lathe Manufactory
at Shengyang, and radical drilling machine model
Z35 produced by the Second Lathe Mafactory at
Shengyang.
The most striking features of the exhibition
among the machinery are a match packing machine
capable of packing 66,240 boxes of matches every
eight hours and a cigarette packing machine capable
of packing 83 to 103 packets of 20's cigarettes per
minute. Both are new products of the Tsingtao
Machinery Manufactory. Other attractive features
include the double shutter sock knitting machine
Model BFDT capable of knitting 60 pairs of cotton

or nylon socks every eight hours, rotary press model
2PK for printing books and magazines, diesel engines
of 30, 45 or 80 horse power, marine diesel engine
model 4110-2, diesel generating set capable of
generating power up to 30 kilowatts.
In the west wing of the General Hall, various
kinds of medical instruments are exhibited. There
you would also find very complicated and highly
technical tele-commuication equipments including
complete sets of Autcmatic Telephone Exchange and
Carrier Telephone Terminal Equipment for multi-
channel long distance telecommunication.
On the first floor, in the exhibition room of
China National Instruments Import Corporation, we
were inspired with pride to see the display of scient-
ific instruments and laboratory apparatus-from class-
room demonstration to scientific research use. Special
mention should be made of the following: High
precision micro Analytical Balance, sensitivity up to
one micro gramme; spectrophotographs for qualitative
and quantitative analysis; various kinds of precision
electronic instruments and oscilloscopes for electronic
research; different ranges of radioactivity research
instruments and counters.
In the same room, you would find many kinds
of engineering instruments such as Supersonic instru-
ments for navigation as well as for industry, various
kinds of surveying instruments such as theodolites and
levels for civil engineering, automation governers and
control instruments for factories, machines and in-
struments for testing strength of materials and many
other meteological and geological instruments.
Apart from meeting her own domestic use,
China has a surplus of thousands kinds of in-
struments for export. This speaks well of China's
great achievement, in industry and her attainment of
high technical skill.
In the same room, we could see many kinds
of high class consumer goods including precision
cameras, television sets, VHF frequency modulation
broadcasting radio sets. Quite an attraction among
the radios is a Panda Brand model 1501 radiogram,
triple use for AM FM receiving, tape recording and
gramophone, 22-valve high precision radio set with
its beautiful cabinet full of China's national char-
acteristics.
Arranged on the square behind the exhibition
hall are many well-known products of China's newly
established heavy industry. They include the 5-ton
"Liberation" heavy duty truck produced by the First
Automobile Plant at Changchun, the combine liar-
vesting machine performing triple-duty of harvesting,
grain-removing and selecting, the 12-ton road roller,
artificial rain sprayer and concrete mixer.
The exhibits represent only a part of the
achievements of China's fast moving industrialisation.
Nevertheless, they have convinced every visitor that
China which used to be a backward country without
any foundation of heavy industry has become a
powerful nation having laid the solid groundwork of
heavy industry and capable of exporting heavy industry
products as well.

There is a very interesting stall in the "Agri-
cultural and Subsidiary Products Room" on the second
floor of the Chinese Export Commodities Exhibition
Hall in Canton. Inscribed in gold on a rectangular
black lacquer signboard are four big Chinese characters
"Chung Kuo Min Chiu", meaning Chinese wines and
liquors of fame.
On the counter below the signboard are several
bottles of Shao-Hsing Wine and four earthen jars
elegantly painted in colourful patterns.
One finds here a great variety of Chinese wines
and liquors: some are as green as jade and others as
red as ruby while still others are as clear as crystal.
The bottles are also fancy and exquisite. Some are
made of fine china in the shape of a flower vase,
while others are earthern ones in typical antique
Chinese styles...... The dazzling display strik;s even
teetotallers with admiration, not to say connoisseurs.
Liquors and wines are enjoyed by peoples all the world over. In ancient Greece, the birthday
of Bacchus, the God of Wine, was celebrated with Homeric laughter throughout the country as a
national festival. The love for wine was no less ardent in China either. Not only was wine served
on ceremonial occasions when offerings were being made to God or during banquets, it was also almost
indispensable when friends got together. Numerous beautiful verses singing the praise of this age-old
beverage have been composed by famous Chinese poets.
The art of brewing wine with glutinous rice was known in China more than 4,000 years ago.
Throughout the many generations that followed, Chinese wine brewers have amassed a vast wealth of
experience in the art of wine-making and learned to utilize different raw materials obtainable in various
parts of China, thus producing a great variety of superb wines and liquors.
As soon as they were introduced in the international market, Chinese wines and liquors won
immediate acclamation on account of their diversity and distinguished qualities.
Indeed the great variety of Chinese Popular Chinese fruit urines.
wines and liquors satisfies the discriminating ,A IIitArhrYRTM o
taste of every connoisseur. Even in this
tiny stall where only a limited assortment
of the famous Chinese wines and liquors
are being exhibited, there is sufficient
variety to satisfy the tastes of both Chinese
and foreigners.
To those who prefer wines with
fruit flavour, there are in this stall about
20 to 30 varieties brewed from fruits or
fruit juice for their choice. Among the
grape wines are "Tung Hua Grape Wine",
"Chang Yu Red Grape Wine", "White
Rose Grape \Vine", "Chang Yu Dry
Grape Wine", and several others widely
known to the world, each with char-

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/13: CIA-RDP80T00246AO55100280001-9
acteristics of its own. The sweetened Tung Hua Grape Wine suitable to men and women is
called the ideal household beverage. Rose-flavoured Chang Yu Red Grape Wine tastes sweet yet a
little hit tart. White Rose Grape Wine brewed and distilled from "horse milk grapes", a special
produce of Shantung known for its cream-like taste, is a highly flavoured wine with the fragrance of
roses. Chang Yu Dry Grape Wine containing only 0.2 per cent sugar is a vintage with very strong
fruit flavour.
Other well-known wines such as Champagne produced by Tsingtao's Mei Kou Wine Factory,
Vermouth by Chang Yu Company and "Golden Star High Moon Brandy" are all made from
superior quality grape. Champagne tastes sweet and tart and gives a refreshing effect similar to that
of carbon dioxide. Vermouth tastes like red grape wine yet it gives a flavour of clover cardamom
and Tibetan saffron.
Apple Wine, Fragrant Prune Vine and Apple Brandy are of such fine quality as to enable
them to win international fame as soon as they were introduced into foreign market recently.
According to wine specialists, wines brewed from genuine apples are scarce in the world nowadays and
wines brewed exclusively from apples are even scarcer. Apple wine has a dominant apple flavour, and
for those who prefer liquors, the apple brandy is recommended. Both are offered for sale in fancy
containers with apple wine in bottles shaped like an ancient bronze wine pot and apple brandy in
porcelain bottles in the shape of flower vases.
Fragrant prune wine brewed from fragrant prunes produced in Wen Pao Shan, Liaoning, is
described as "glittering and reddish, sweet and fragrant, slightly tart and refreshing."
Other fine fruit wines include strawberry wine produced by Yi Mien Pu Wine Factory in Hei Lung
Kiang province, and Lichee wine brewed by the Kwangtung Brewery. Lichee wine from Amoy,
Cherry wine from Peking, Mi-Chen-Chen Chiu from Fukien as well as wines of orange, haw, clover
grape, chrysanthemum, cassia and green prune produced in various parts of China are either brewed
direct from the fruit juice or scented by soaking the natural flowers in them.
Ilua-tiao, the famous traditional liquor brewed from glutinous rice in Shaohsing, Chekiang, is
one of the best rice wines. With its golden
colour and strong flavour, Shaohsing wine
is ranked as one of the eight most famous
wines and liquors of China.
Fen liquor of Shansi has a history of
more than 1,000 years. Made from kaoliang
(sorghum), it has a higher alcoholic content
than ordinary wine and belongs to the same
class as several other famous liquors such as
Mao-tai of Kweichow, Hsi-feng ( West
Phoenix) of Shensi and Dai-chu of Luchow.
They are all clear and colourless liquors,
yet each has its own special characteristics.
Special mention should be made
of Kaoliang Hung, a product of Swatow,
Kwangtung, which has become very popular
in China well as abroad only recently.
Its very high quality deserves the beautiful
porcelain bottle with fine white flowers
on a scarlet background. With its full
bouquet and body, it is described as
f
the rare products among wines and
Shaohsing Wine, a world famous wine produced in Shao- one o
hsing, Chekiang, together with Wu-Chia-pi and Rose liquors.

THE FASCINATING RAINBOWS
IN GORGEOUS LIGHT
Among all the exhibition halls in the Chinese Export Commodities Exhibition Hall, the "Chinese Silk
Exhibition Hall" was the most attractive one which the traders viewed with interest and appreciation. Upon
entering the exhibition hall, one would be attracted by the flourishingly colourful and glittering Chinese
silk as a piece of iron is attracted by a magnet, no matter whether one was business-minded, artistic-minded or
simply thinking of obtaining dresses for one's wife or children. No wonder the negotiation rooms of the silk trade
delegates in the Chinese Export Commodities Fair for Autumn 1959 were so fully packed throughout the
period.
The beautiful Chinese silk has been widely reputed all the world over since time immemorial. As early as
the later years of the first century, the Chinese silk was taken to Europe by the Persians via the snow clad Altai.
Towards the end of 14th Century, the technique of Chinese silk weaving had already reached an astonishing
degree of perfection. The artistic excellence and technical perfection of the "Ming Satin" passed down from that
century is still unique in the world to-day.
Since the inauguration of the People's Republic of China, the productivity of silk has been rising annually.
Shanghai alone produced over 43,000,000 metres of silk in 1958. Besides, the Hangchow Silk Printing & Dyeing
Factory, which began production in 1959, will produce 14,000,000 metres annually, while the Kapok Silk Printing
and Dyeing Factory at Fushan, Kwangtung, has also entered into production.
The technique of weaving, spinning and dyeing is rapidly being developed. For instance,a silk factory in
Wuhsih, Kiangsu, and another in Shunteh, Kwangtung, have successfully set the highest standard of silk quality
in the world with their 7A and 8A grades raw silk. The State owned Shanghai Spun Silk Weaving Factory
succeeded in weaving the 400-count and 520-count spun silk (spun with short fibres silk waste). In spite of the
fact that productivity has been increased by leaps and bounds, it still falls short of meeting the growing -demand
of the vast mass of Chinese people. Thus we can only set aside a part of the production to satisfy the demand
of our friends abroad who are fond of Chinese silk.
The "Chinese Silk Exhibition Hall" covered an area over 1,300 square meters and there were 11
categories and 1,800 varieties of exhibits, including over 50 new productions.
Upon entering the Hall, we were confronted with a row of coloured showcases which looked like a glassy
screen. In these showcas?s were displayed embroidered dress materials of elaborate designs, garments and beddings.
What interested one most was two pieces of materials for lady's Changsan (gowns). The one on the left was a
glittering multi-coloured light blue satin decorated with a gold orange chrysanthemum on the right of the
bodice, while two exquixitely blooming daisies were knitted on the front one overlapping the other and yet
another purple chrysanthemum stretching elegantly from the right front obliquely down to the left slit. The
other piece on the right was made of a piece of silvery white satin embroidered with a golden dragon and
a lavishly coloured phoenix. The dragon was flying sprightly down across and then along the side, showing
its teeth and paws lively and vividly. The phoenix with jade blue ground and gold and silver outline was
flying towards the dragon, both the long red and white tails dangling from the right waist vertically down.
A red embroidered rose on the upper front button accentuated the gracefulness and splendour of the piece.
The combination of the most elaborate Chinese embroidery, the most exquixite Chinese silk and the most
beautiful design in one single piece of material was indeed a beauty of the highest degree.
Passing these coloured showcases, one immediately found oneself in a fascinating world of hue and colour.
There were a display platform showing glossy polychromatic silk piece goods, another showing light crepes
and coloured shameuses with silky reflection; then a coloured showcase showing embroidered dresses of various
colours for ladies and a stall displaying gold and silvery tapestry satins. In spite of the fact that the designers
of the display had contributed painstaking efforts to have the articles displayed separately according to the categories

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/13: CIA-RDP80T00246AO55100280001-9
of genuine silk products, tussah silk piece goods, new products, mixed genuine and high grade artificial silk, artificial
silk pieces goods, ready made silk products, etc., each platform or showcase still looked like a flourishing little garden
arresting any casual eye. Some described the Hall as "a fascinating spot in Dreamland", others thought that
it was "like a world of polychromatic rainbows". But it seemed that even the most poetic words were not
suffice to express the impression it made.
As it is impossible to list all the inumerous varieties of products one by one, we will have to be satisfied
with an introduction to some of the new productions.
On one platform decorated with the mark of plum blossom, there were more than 50 varieties including
over 200 scrolls of silk piece goods. Among the real silk goods, there were Tsu-lai Shameuse Purple Snowflake
taffeta, Milky Way silk, Silk Faille, etc. Of the mixed silk, there were Flower gauzed satin, Wei-chin silk, Tsai-
wen taffeta, Yu Yin silk, King Loong brocade, Yin Loong brocade, Hua-yun brocade, Lu-yin gauze, Tse We
shameuse, Fu-yung shameuse, etc. There were also materials of the famous Mixed tapestry satin, mixed Soochow
brocade, Golden and Silver Lustrous silk, Tienhsia brocade, Yu-hua satin, Lily gauze, jade brocade, Golden
and silver thread Hsin-ya satin, San-wu silk, Lo-wen crepe, Hua-tieh gauze, Ping-fei gauze, Yin Kwang brocade
taffeta, Dung Wang Brocade, Li-wen brocade, Lo-1 crepe, Red fairy silk, Glittering gold crepe, etc.
What first arrested one's attention was the three pieces of Soochow brocade in the center. And the middle
one of the three called "Longevity satin", of a firm and fine quality on a black ground, was graceful and splendid
with black Chinese characters "Longevity" in big circle patches which shone like velvet. The one on the left
called "Gold Field" was glittering with gold light and luxuriously gorgeous with bouquets of peony in red, purple
and blue. The one on the right was called "Chuang-hua shameuse" interwoven with jade blue and silvery silk
glittering with silvery blue brightness alternatively. Over this ground scattered the unusually beautiful blue
purple and green flowers. Another article which could not fail to attract attention was the "Tapestry satin".
Two of its various designs were displayed. One was in dim red chrysanthemum design and matched with
apricot grey as background, while the other carried patterns of palace, landscape and figures in different colours.
The Soochow brocade and the tapestry satin are made by interweaving 20/22 high grade silk and 120 or150
artificial silk. It is of a firm quality. The pattern is varied but not complicated. The colours are fresh
and bright yet not dazzling. It is graceful, gorgeous and rich in traditional Chinese art and style. The
former has a fine quality and the latter is rich in varieties. They are suitable for making ceremonial dresses
or other garments and for decorative purposes.
Ladies who love simplicity and elegance would choose "Li-wen brocade", "Lo-i crepe" "Yu-hua satin"
"San-wu silk", "Tien-hsia (Rosy cloud) brocade", etc.
"Li-wen brocade" is a mixed piece goods of genuine and artificial silk using thick "Lo-wen" to separate
the ground colour, thus producing a tender gloss of shameuse light. Between the "Lo-wen", there are damasks
interpersed over with small little flowers in different colours. Such textiles undergo many stages of weaving. They
are elaborately coloured and unique in style.
"Lo-i crepe" is mixed with spun silk, tussah silk and artificial silk. Spun silk is soft, tussah silk strong
and artificial silk lustrous. Consequently, the texture is light, soft and elastic. The colour and pattern are simple
and soothing.
"Yu-hua satin" is a soft material of fine quality with sky blue or other colours for the ground and covered
with Chinese classical artistic patterns.
"San-wu silk" is a mixed textile of high class silk and nylon, with a base pattern of coral backing up
the scattered flowers. It is simple and elegant.
"Tien-hsia brocade" is woven with high grade silk, gold and silver threads and other artificial fibres.
Some have coloured brocades as the ground to back up plain silver and gold patterns, while some are of gold
or silver ground backing up the brocade patterns.
Young ladies who like colourful, light and soft materials, would prefer "Lily gauze", "Jade brocade",
"Red Fairy silk", "Tsai-heng silk", "Hua-tieh gauze" and "Ping-fei gauze".
"Lily gauze" is transparent, light,and non-crease, covered with small coloured nylon flowers over a
ground of light pink or apple green.

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/13: CIA-RDP80T00246A055100280001-9
"Hua-tieh gauze" is made of genuine silk. The ground is gaily coloured and the colour on each side
of the material is different. After the pattern process which brings out patterns in layers one overlapping
the other, it has an unusually wonderful look. The patterns are either floral or geometrical, small and clear
yet graceful. Some of them bear lines of gold thread on the lower layer of the gauze to produce the effect
of lustrous, flash and gloss.
"Ping-fei gauze" is a plain gauze with patterns, light and soft, ventilating and cool. Its pattern and colour
are varied. The combination of the colours of the design and the ground are harmoniously soothing to the eye.
"Jade brocade" is mixed silk and nylon textile. The warm colour of the brocade ground and the cool
colour of the design glorify each other so that one is moved by its beauty.
"Red Fairy silk" is made of tassah silk and artificial silk. It is slightly elastic. Its soft ground shade
is refreshing and the design gives a relief look.
"Tsai-heng silk" is made of raw silk and tassah silk in various shades and colours. Between coloured
stripes are some wider stripes giving a clean relief look to the surface of the silk, and an unusually original look.
Finally, it is worth while to touch on the artificial silk products and coloured "Hsiang-yun gauze".
The artificial silk is lustrous and of low cost, therefore the "Tsai satin", "Mixed tapestry satin", "Mixed Soochow
brocade", etc., made of artificial silk, are lustrously colourful and are of lower prices than the genuine silk
piece goods. The "Hsiang-yun gauze" is a special product of Kwangtung. Formerly, there used to be only
two colours for this material, black and dull red. The Gambiered Silk Factory of Fuchan, Kwangtung, in
1959 created the gauze gambiered in pink, purple, brown and reddish brown. These coloured gauze gambiereds
retain the washability and coolness,but do not absorb so much heat as those in black and dull red.

Chinese arts and crafts have been enjoying world-wide fame for centuries. This had been attributed to
the great variety and the unique features they possess. A visit to the Chinese Export Commodities Exhibition
Hall would verify what one has heard about this branch of Chinese handicraft.
Three spacious halls on the 5th floor of the Chinese Export Commodities Hall with a total floor space of
3,000 sq. metres seemed to be too small for the hundreds of exhibits, which, nevertheless, represented only a
small part of China's arts and crafts articles chosen for exhibition.
Upon entering the central hall, one would be spell-bound by the sight of a pair of lacquer wardrobes standing
in front of the entrance. On each of its 4 by 6 ft. doors, inlaid on a mirror-like smooth black lacquer back-
ground was a colourful picture of beautiful girls dressed in ancient costumes. Mind you! It was not painted,
but was a piece of mosaic composed of numerous small pieces of shells, jade, emerald and crystal in their natural
colours with the utmost care and precision of superb craftsmanship. One found here a pageantry of multi-
coloured flowers, trees, leaves, tables, benches, etc. The background did not reduce the effect. On the contrary,
it accentuated the colour effect by contrast.
What about the girls' heads? They were carved out of pieces of ivory, painted with peach and cream
colours to imitate the lively complexion of beautiful maidens. These ivory heads were skilfully and meticulously
attached on to the bodies in relief that no examination, no matter how scrutinous, would be able to detect any
trace of attachment. These rare pieces of art could only be found in the emperor's palaces in the old days. The
production had only been resumed recently.
Inside the central hall, one found hundreds of extremely fine porcelain ware. Here one saw the celebrated
works from Kin-Teh-Chen, Kiangsi, and gold gilt dinner sets favoured by Europeans. There were also dinner
and coffee sets in modern style from Tongshan Porcelain Manufactory. The older motifs included "China White"
or "Swan Feather White" produced in Teh-hua, Fukien. Yet, along with these very fine pieces one also found
simple elegant earthern ware from I-hsing, Kiangsu.
Chinese porcelain ware won world-wide fame many centuries ago. In as early as the 15th century,
porcelain artisans at Kin-Teh-Chen made a vow to have their procelain ware "travel around the world and carry
with it the fame of Chinese craftsmanship from China to everywhere under the sun". The Great Leap Forward
campaign in 1958 brought about further improvement in the art and technique of porcelain production.
Foreign visitors to the 1959 Chinese Export Commodities Fair in Canton were much impressed by the din-
ner sets, cups and saucers of the latest designs. There was such a rush of orders that coffee sets and dinners plates
of the latest models produced by Tongshan Porcelain Manufactory were soon found in short supply.
Special arts and crafts articles were to be found in the Hall in the north wing of the building. Among
them were lacquer ware and vases from Fukien, bamboo ware from the same province, carved stone ware from
Tsing-tien, cloisonne ware from Peking, world famous ivory carvings from Peking and Canton, jewelry made of
precious stones set in gold or silver, earthern statues, masks depicting Peking opera characters, porcelain or
earthern statues from Peking, Kin-teh-chen or Shih-wan, etc. All these works of art with Chinese traditional
characteristics were very much cherished by foreign visitors.
If the North Wing Hall just described was compared to an art gallery, we would find exhibits in the West
Wing Hall strongly marked by a different aspect of craftsmanship-a sense of exquisiteness and proportion.
Embroideries and many other works give credence to the old Chinese saying "human skill may well excel God's
creation". Arrayed ih rows of showcases were drawn works from Swatow, Venice lace from Shanghai,
embroideries from Shantung, drawn work and embroideries from Peking and many others.
There were many kinds of Swatow drawn works, with table cloths and handkerchiefs as the two principal
items. Table cloths are made of white or grey flex cloth or other durable material. Handkerchiefs are made
of very fine cloth. The process of making drawn work articles starts with cutting the material into a pre-set size.
Designs are drawn on it and threads are then drawn from desired positions to form the lace patterns.
Venice lace made in Shanghai, a popular commodity in foreign markets for years, originated from Shao-
shing and Shaoshan, Chekiang, where local girls are specialised in this artistic work. It is a kind of embroidery
on fine cloth made into table cloths, bed sheets, tray cloths, etc. National characteristics are remarkably demon-
strated in this very fine work.
Shantung embroideries are sewn either on cotton cloth, linen or on silk. They can be obtained in the
form of banquet table cloths or dinner table cloths. They are known for their attractive designs and harmonious
colours. The best-known Shantung embroideries are from Chefoo, Tsingchow and Tsimo.
Peking drawn work is made on a background of very fine ramie or cotton cloth, which is known for its
durability.
Pictures are formed either by multi-coloured threads sewn through the cloth or by stitching pieces of
multi-coloured cloth onto the surface. A latest improvement is the sewing of threads on both sides of the cloth
instead of on one side. Flowers of fast colours are usually the main features of the design. It is usually made
into table cloths, bed sheets, pillow cases, skirts or pyjamas.

How To Attend The Fair And Discuss Business?
How to attend the Fair? This is probably one of the first questions that a businessman who is going
to visit the Fair for the first time would ask. As might be seen from the several Fairs held in Canton in the
past, the formalities are indeed very simple and convenient.
Overseas Chinese coming back to attend the Fair shall comply with the prevailing regulations and
procedure governing their return to China from abroad.
Foreign visitors from a country where the People's Republic of China maintains an office of her
diplomatic representative, may apply for Entry Visas with the Fair's invitation cards at the Chinese Embassy,
Charge d'Affairs office or Consulate in their locality, and then enter China through Shumchun on the
Canton-Kowloon Railway.
Foreign visitors from any country or region where China has no diplomatic representative may approach
the China Travel Service (HK) Ltd., Hong Kong, to apply for entry permits on their behalf with the
support of the Fair's invitation. On receipt of their Entry permits, the visitors can then enter China
through Shumchun.
Any business concern which has not received invitation but wishes to attend the Fair may apply to
the Fair direct, giving full particulars including its name, lines of business, postal and cable addresses or
contact the Foreign Trade Corporations in China with whom it has business connections. Or, it may either
contact the Chinese Commercial Counsellor (Attache or Representative) in its locality, or the following
trading agents of the Chinese national foreign trade corporations: China Resources Company, Messrs. Ng
Fung Hong, Messrs. Teck Soon Hong Ltd., in Hongkong or Messrs. Nam Kwong Trading Co., in Macao.
During the Fairs held in the past, the China Travel Service (HK) Ltd., Hong Kong was specially
requested by the Fair authorities to arrange transport, lodging at Canton and other travelling facilities for
the visitors, rendering the best service at a moderate charge. (Visitors from Macao could avail themselves
of the service of the Travel Department, The International Hotel, Macao for their travelling arrangements.)
Visitors arriving at Shumchun are usually given priority in passing through the Customs. At Canton,
they could contact the Fair's Reception Section at hotels to acquire necessary guidance and badges with
which they could enter the Fair Building to conduct business negotiations.
For the guidance of the visitors desiring either to contact or discuss business with the different Joint
Trade Delegations, the Fair maintains a Liaison Section, whose staff are always present at the Fair to assist
in making appointments with Trade Delegations and to perform other duties in connection with their
business transactions. Should a visitor desire to contact a certain party for business in a certain kind of
commodity, or to arrange an appointment with a certain Joint Trade Delegation, he may inform either a
member of the Liason Section, the Information Desk, or the Reception Section at the hotel where he is
staying, and proper introduction or arrangement will accordingly be made.
At the Fair, discussions with the different joint Trade Delegations are not confined only to specific
problems relating to export and import business, visitors are also welcome to exchange views extensively on
any matter of mutual interest and beneficial to the business enhancement on both sides. All transactions
are to be done by direct negotiation between sellers and buyers, and all Sales Confirmations, Contracts and
Agreements become effective as soon as they are signed by both parties.
