The East China Fair, the largest regional trade fair in China, wrapped up in Shanghai on Saturday.

The four-day event has attracted around 4,000 companies from 34 countries and regions, injecting further growth momentum into east China's foreign trade sector.

Customs data shows that China's foreign trade is showing strong resilience, growing 4.7 percent year on year to 16.77 trillion yuan (about 2.34 trillion U.S. dollars) in the first five months of 2023.

The fair is regarded as an important barometer of China's foreign trade, and is held jointly by nine provinces and cities in east China.
