Martial Arts 'Online China Biz Day' Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] The Korea International Trade Association held the 'Online China Biz Day,' a three-day virtual export consultation with Chinese buyers, from the 25th to the 27th.

This consultation event featured 26 companies, including buyers from major Chinese online shopping malls such as Tmall and JD.com, as well as local buyers recruited by the Trade Association’s Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu branches. They conducted consultations with 40 domestic companies exporting cosmetics, daily necessities, health functional foods, and small medical devices.

A representative from Chengdu Jinwiye Jia Hong Trading, which distributes to supermarkets and convenience stores in western China, said, "Korean cosmetics and food products remain attractive items in the Chinese market, especially in the western inland region. Recently, as COVID-19 has subsided in China and the economy is reactivating, we participated in the consultation to source high-quality Korean products."

Considering the recent spread of COVID-19, most participating companies conducted online consultations from their offices. However, in cases where conditions were difficult, visitors to the association were required to follow quarantine procedures such as temperature checks, mask-wearing, and hand sanitization before participating in consultations.

Cho Hakhee, Head of the International Business Division at the Korea International Trade Association, stated, "Although the situation is difficult, we must continuously create opportunities for meetings to prepare for the post-COVID-19 era. We will actively support our companies’ entry into the Chinese market by continuing to hold online consultations and seminars in the second half of the year."
