From the friendly article: The sheer scale of what’s in front of me belies the fact that Yiwu market’s heyday was in the past – much of this trade is now migrating online, to websites such as Alibaba and Made In China.
No one is denyng that, but like every other trading mall in china, times are changing. Yiwu gets the brunt of it because it got so much business, but the traders from the Middle East and Africa have cut back.
Next thing you'll tell me that the Canton Fair is still going strong, which it isn't.
