China's Confidence in COVID-19?... Hosting the Largest Food and Beverage Expo in May

[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Young-shin] The largest food and beverage expo in China, which was postponed due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), will be held in May.

Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on the 26th that the "China Food and Beverage Expo" will be held in Chengdu, China, from May 21 to 23. This expo scheduled for May is the first international expo to be held in China since COVID-19.

The expo was originally scheduled to be held for three days from March 26 to 28 but was temporarily postponed due to COVID-19.

Last year, more than 4,000 companies from about 40 countries participated in this expo, and 400,000 people visited the expo venue. However, the newspaper reported that it is uncertain whether this expo will be successfully held.

A sales manager of a hotel near the expo venue was quoted by the newspaper as saying, "It will not be as good as the expo in the past few years."

Meanwhile, the China Food and Beverage Expo has been held a total of 101 times since it was first held in 1955.
