Not only aiming at fundraising, but the bazaar has also been established as a venue for foreign communities in China to promote their land, people, handicraft products, culture and cuisine to international friends.

The event has also provided an opportunity for participating organizations to foster cultural exchanges and tighten solidarity and friendship with the host country.

All proceeds from the charity bazaar will be used for charity activities. According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the 2017 event raised more than US$700,000.
