International Buyers Interview at the Show

Though there was a decrease of the international buyers totally, it just reflected the Chinese economy. But in 2017, some of the state governments of China have already started their way to support Chinese enterprises, especially on finance, for example, Weihai Finance will offer special payments for the fishing tackle industry improvement in the following 3 years constantly for their innovation, research and development.

No matter how the economy is now, good or bad, better or worse, everyone should be positive enough to pass the hard time through. And with the Chinese government has already offered an olive branch to the real economy, the future will be better for China Fish buyers.
