Neutral summary

The 140th Canton Fair, officially the China Import and Export Fair, opened in Guangzhou on Thursday, October 15, marking the event's 70th anniversary. Over seven decades, the number of buyers has grown from 1,200 at the inaugural session to 310,000 today, reflecting China's expanding role in global trade, according to Chinese state media.
