Canton Fair: Room for Profits for Manufacturers gets Cut
Today (27th) is the last day of the second phase of the 107th Canton Fair. Our journalist Chang Zhifeng talked to some of the exhibitors who told him innovation is the key to survival and development.

On the expo today I came across porcelain products manufactured in Shenzhen and they were very expensive. One flower vase was up for sale for 70,000 Yuan and a porcelain bowl for 3000 Yuan. The company's director Mr. Dong said:

" This year we have incorporated some innovated ideas into our products. We wanted Chinese culture to be obvious in our products, so that they are not just ordinary porcelains. I think we are selling culture more than the products themselves. Every company probably has the same desire to influence their customers. "
