Exporters focus on overseas M

Editor's Note: The China Import and Export Fair, better known as the Canton Fair, is often seen as a barometer of China's foreign trade because a large number of exporters - big or small - display their products at the fair, looking for potential deals from global buyers. China Daily reporters talked to some exporters to see how they are fighting against the slowing global demand, and the organizers explained how they help exporters increase trade efficiency by introducing internet-enabled services.

An increasing number of Chinese exporters are seeking to expand overseas through acquisitions to beat the slowdown of global demand, according to corporate executives.

They plan to build the acquired firms into research and development centers, reduce trade barriers and boost falling sales.
