195、he Development of Chinas Overseas Exhibitions in 2023Annual Report on Chinas Exhibition Industry(2023)116The examination and approval of the organization of economic and trade exhibitions abroad is an important duty entrusted to the CCPIT by the State Council,and the CCPIT has been exercising the ex

196、amination and approval powers for nearly 20 years since 2004.In January 2023,China downgraded the management of COVID-19 to Class B.After nearly three years of interruptions due to the pandemic,the CCPIT resumed accepting applications for approval of holding economic and trade exhibitions abroad.The

197、 2023 overseas exhibition statistics counted in this chapter come from the overseas exhibition projects implemented by the exhibition organizers under the exhibition approval system of the CCPIT.The overseas exhibitions are mainly divided into two forms:overseas exhibition organization and overseas

198、exhibition participation.I.Overseas exhibition participation and exhibition organization has been gradually recovering.Since the beginning of 2023,global growth has been anemic.Chinas foreign trade has withstood multiple pressures and remained generally stable,showing strong resilience and increased

199、 endogenous driving force.As China downgraded the management of COVID-19 to Class B,offline exhibitions have recovered,and new opportunities for overseas exhibitions have emerged.In April 2023,the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Promoting the Stable Scale and Optimum Struc

200、ture of Foreign Trade,requiring all localities,trade promotion agencies and business associations to further step up support for foreign trade enterprises to participate in various overseas exhibitions,and continue to cultivate overseas self-organized exhibitions and expand the scale of such exhibit

201、ions.After nearly three years of interruptions due to the pandemic,the CCPIT resumed accepting applications for approval of holding economic and trade exhibitions abroad.In February 2023,the Circular of the General Office of the State Council on Promulgating the“List of Administrative Licensing Matt

204、tion organization projects,involving 71 exhibition organizers and 55 countries or regions,with more than 39,600 exhibitors and an exhibition area of 572,200 square meters.Because overseas exhibitions take a long time to plan and prepare,some exhibition organizers and exhibitors were unable to implem

205、ent relevant overseas exhibition plans in time.Monthly data indicate that the number of overseas exhibition projects in the first quarter of 2023 is relatively small,with only 58 projects,of which only three and five were in January and February.With increased international flights and more convenie

206、nt personnel visa processes that facilitated cross-border travel,and the progressive impact of relevant supporting policies and measures,the recovery of foreign trade enterprises has accelerated.After the first quarter of 2023,the speed of recovery in participating in or organizing exhibitions abroa

207、d has gradually accelerated,and overseas exhibitions have been seeing more and more Chinese exhibitors.A total of 176 overseas exhibitions were implemented in September 2023,the highest monthly figure in the year,and the number of projects implemented in June and October 2023 is about 80%of the leve
