(NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, is presenting its service excellence at the 133rd China Import and Export Fair (also known as the Canton Fair) in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Its booth highlights the advantages of FedEx services and solutions for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and the e-commerce industry.

The Canton Fair is a trade bridge that connects China and the global market, and its long-standing success underscores the strong resilience of China’s foreign trade. In the first quarter in 2023, foreign trade has demonstrated a month-on-month improvement. The country’s total goods imports and exports expanded 4.8 percent year-on-year to 9.89 trillion RMB, with exports growing 8.4 percent year-on-year to 5.65 trillion RMB[1].
This year also marks the 50th birthday of FedEx. The company has been committed to enhancing connections between China and the rest of the world, and advocating for global trade since entering the China market in 1984. Guangdong province is not only a vital portal for China’s foreign trade, but also a key location for the FedEx global network. Located at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the FedEx APAC Hub currently operates more than 210 international flights per week. As the global economy continues to recover, FedEx will continuously support the quality and steady development of China’s foreign trade, leveraging its reliable supply chain services.
