Research On Guangzhou Trade Fair And Hong Kong And Macao Work In The Early Stage Of The Founding Of The People’s Republic Of China

In the early days of the founding of New China,capitalist countries led by the United States imposed a comprehensive blockade and embargo on China.In order to break through this blockade,Guangzhou has carried out a series of "anti embargo,anti blockade" struggles,and holding trade shows for Hong Kong and Macao is an important part of it.This research is guided by Marx’s Historical materialism and Dialectical materialism,adheres to the combination of Microcosm – macrocosm analogy,theory and practice,uses the thinking of Big History,and conducts research based on the reality of Guangzhou trade fair in the early days of the founding of New China.Firstly,Guangzhou has a unique advantage in hosting exhibitions for Hong Kong and Macao businesses.Geographically,Guangzhou is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao,and due to the war and turmoil before the establishment of the People’s Republic of China,Guangdong has many people traveling to Hong Kong,Macao,and Southeast Asia,which has a natural advantage in united front against overseas Chinese.In terms of political work,before the establishment of the People’s Republic of China,Guangzhou had already carried out united front work on Hong Kong and Macao and had achieved remarkable results.At the same time,after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China,China has increasingly attached importance to the development of exhibitions,and the domestic exhibition industry has shown a thriving scene.These conditions have laid a good foundation for organizing business exhibitions in Guangzhou.Secondly,between 1949 and 1956,Guangzhou held at least 9 large-scale exhibitions.The most well-known ones are the Economy of the Soviet Union Economic and Construction Achievements Exhibition,South China Material Exchange Exhibition and Export Material Exchange Exhibition,which were visited by Hong Kong and Macao compatriots in large numbers after 1955.But between 1951 and 1952,the exhibitions held in Guangzhou were equally important,marking Guangzhou’s exploration of the forms of trade between Hong Kong and Macao.By holding this series of exhibitions,Guangzhou opened up a channel for trade with Hong Kong and Macao,clarified rumors of the Communist Party being untrue in the Hong Kong and Macao regions,and carried out united front work on Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and returning overseas Chinese.This preserved Hong Kong and Macao as the "window" to the world for New China,and its hosting process laid a good foundation for the future Guangzhou Fair.Finally,in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,the Guangzhou Trade Fair and Hong Kong Macao work not only implemented the Party Central Committee’s policies towards Hong Kong and Macao,established good trade relations with Hong Kong and Macao,but also laid the foundation for the later establishment of the Canton Fair.These historical experiences still play an important role in enlightening the construction of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area today.In the face of the unprecedented changes in a century,Guangzhou should give full play to the spirit of responsibility,continue to implement the policies of the Party Central Committee,act as the active liaison between Guangdong – Hong Kong – Macao Greater Bay Area and Macao in the construction of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area,and promote comprehensive exchanges between the two regions.
