The lighting equipment exhibition hall of the 104th China Import and Export Fair (canton Fair)is seen in Guangzhou, October 15, 2008.

At the ongoing Canton Fair, China's leading trade fair, businesses that canvass foreign buyers are also focusing on the local market as their customers in the Western nations are dragged into recession by the global credit crisis.

Chinese exporters, faced with dwindling foreign orders amid global economic slowdown, are diverting their attention to domestic markets, but they still want to attract foreign importers’ eyes, and chinese lighting still take up some coverage in overseas markets.
