Steve records this one live from Shenzhen after a ten-day swing through Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and back, timed around the Canton Fair. He talks about the sheer scale of the event, tens of thousands of booths across three phases, and why most sellers only ever experience one phase of it.
He also weighs in on the ongoing US-China trade tension, arguing it's a rebalancing rather than a collapse, and reminds sellers that sourcing well in China is never one single trick but a whole equation of relationships and logistics.
Useful for anyone prepping for their own trip to source products overseas.
