INTERVIEW
AmCham South China President Dr. Harley Seyedin was interviewed by China Global Television Network
reporter Ms. Tianwei, to share his story about the Canton Fair on April 21.
Since first participating in the Canton Fair in 1993, Dr. Harley Seyedin expressed his eager expectation for the
Canton Fair. He said in the interview that due to the COVID-19, the global economy is still facing uncertainty.
Still, most people are optimistic about the growth of the Chinese market and look forward to the coming
Canton Fair to continue to build the Sino-US trade bridge. He also shared the story of Dr. David Buxbaum,
who is the first American to attend the Canton Fair.
When asked about what kind of Canton Fair you want to see in the future? Dr. Seyedin said the integrated
online and offline Fair will continue to be the way of the future. I believe the online fair will continue to
advance to 3D model for people to actually feel and see the products without coming to China. And he thinks
expanding the import part of the import-export fair is the point. Many factories around the world are as
strong as the Chinese manufacturers. They can exhibit their products at Canton Fair. This way will lead to
prosperity worldwide and help every economy as well as China’s domestic growth.
