2. The significance of the merger of the China Fair and the Expo.
The merger of the China Fair and the Cross-Expo aims to create a comprehensive international platform integrating exhibition, display, exchange and cooperation. The merger will further promote the development of cross-border e-commerce in East China and enhance the influence and competitiveness of the East China Fair in the global world.
First of all, as an important international exhibition in East China, the East China Fair has a certain popularity and influence. As an emerging cross-border e-commerce exhibition, although it started late, the expo has developed rapidly and has gradually become an important platform in the field of cross-border e-commerce in East China and even the whole country. By merging the two, we can give full play to their respective advantages and achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages.
Secondly, the merger of the China Fair and the Cross-Expo will further expand the connotation and extension of the exhibition. The ECF is dominated by traditional exhibitions, while the Cross-Expo is themed on cross-border e-commerce. After merging the two, it can not only increase the exhibition content of the exhibition, but also introduce more cross-border e-commerce enterprises and products, providing a more comprehensive display and communication platform for exhibitors and visitors.
Finally, the merger of the China Fair and the Cross-Expo will further promote the development of cross-border e-commerce in East China. With the rapid development of global e-commerce, cross-border e-commerce has become a new trend in the world. As one of the most active regions in China's economic development, East China has a huge e-commerce market and abundant first-chain resources. The merger of the ECF and the Expo can better play their respective advantages and provide a broader development space and cooperation opportunities for cross-border e-commerce enterprises and buyers in East China.
