Chen Yuzhong, General Manager of Shantou Hexing Xieli Technology Co., Ltd., a member of the Guangdong exhibition team, said that the company basically participates in the Hong Kong Toy Exhibition every year.

He also stated that companies can sign orders worth tens of millions every time through the Hong Kong Toy Show. This year, companies will launch five new series of toys at the Hong Kong Toy Show, hoping to push Chinese brands to the international market through Hong Kong.

This year, more than 30 exhibitions of the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council have been included in the 2023 "Guangdong Trade Global" China Guangdong Commodity Overseas Exhibition Platform, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of Guangdong Hong Kong trade. Huang Tianwei stated that Hong Kong has always been the most convenient channel for Guangdong businesses to access the world. Hong Kong has both geographical advantages and professional services and talents, which can help Guangdong and even mainland enterprises match global resources. The economic and social activities in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the mainland are closely related and interconnected. With the resumption of cross-border land freight between the mainland and Hong Kong, it will help strengthen the momentum of Hong Kong's export growth to the mainland. "Looking ahead to 2023, the TDC predicts that Hong Kong's total export value will increase by 5%."
