2018 Canada-China Business Development Forum\u00a0was held\u00a0in Shenzhen on December 10 and in Guangzhou on December 12. A total of 112 attendees in Shenzhen and 123 attendees in Guangzhou participated, with 25 (Shenzhen) and 24 (Guangzhou) pre-scheduled meetings taking place and more arranged onsite. These vis-\u00e0-vis meetings with exporters gave the local wholesalers\/distributors\/e-commerce platforms a direct source to products from Canada. CCBC gave a market briefing to the Canadian companies about the Chinese business environment, general market volume, and consumer preferences before the two events took place.
