What's new: The Canton Fair, China's biggest twice-yearly trade exposition, will resume in-person this spring after three years of virtual activities as the country's pandemic control measures prevented foreign buyers from attending. The organizer didn't disclose the number of registrations for the expo, which will open April 15, but said tens of thousands of buyers from 203 countries and regions registered, and the number is rising every day. Before the pandemic, the fair usually attracted more than 200,000 buyers from all over the world.

The Panama Canal is reducing the maximum number of ships allowed to travel the waterway to 31 per day due to a drought that has cut the supply of fresh water needed to operate the locks. The number was set at 32 in August. That compares to daily averages of 36 to 38 ships per day under normal operation. The Canal Authority said Saturday that nine ships per day will be allowed to use the new, bigger NeoPanamax locks and 22 per day will be handled through the older Panamax locks. Not enough rain has fallen to feed the watershed system of rivers and brooks that fill lakes, whose waters in turn fill the locks.
