On the morning of October 21, the five-day 26^th China Yiwu International Commodities (Standards) Fair (CYICF) opened at the Yiwu International Expo Center. Under the current normalized epidemic prevention and control, this fair is the first large-scale comprehensive foreign trade fair that combines both online and offline exhibitions in China this year. It is held against the background that Yiwu has been approved to set up a Free Trade Zone and it has been promoting the “dual circulation” development pattern and the “ten actions” to develop service trade.

The fair has set up a total of 3400 international standard booths, standard theme pavilions, and special exhibition areas, and it has invited about 10 teams of about 1,600 international businessmen from foreign trade organizations and representative offices in China, and nearly 20 teams of about 1800 domestic purchasers from department stores, supermarkets (convenience stores), and other professional markets.
