The 16th China-Myanmar Border Trade Fair opened in Dehong, a border prefecture of southwest China's Yunnan province on Dec. 26, 2017.
The border trade fair attracted 280 companies from countries including Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
The fair had 480 booths — 326 from China, 54 from Myanmar and 100 from other countries. They mainly showcased food, garments, household appliances, medicine and jewelry.
