Page highlights
Keep canonical and hreflang consistent

FAQ
When should exporters use hreflang?
Use hreflang when the same product, resource, market, or tool page has meaningful language variants for international buyers.
Can hreflang fix duplicate content?
It helps search engines understand language alternates, but each page still needs useful localized content and a clean canonical URL.
Should every alternate be reciprocal?
Yes. English and Chinese pages should reference each other and include the same x-default target to reduce language-routing confusion.
