China's
largest trade fair kicks off 102nd session on October 15, 2007 in Guangzhou, capital
of south China's Guangdong Province. The fair has attracted a total of 15,054
businesses, including 480 from 57 other countries and regions. The
fair receives broad welcome from overseas clients. Bing Xu, spokesman of the fair
said a total of 849 booths have been set up for overseas businesses, 220 more
than the previous fair in April. More than 6,000 domestic corporate buyers will
attend the fair and we have set up 32,000 booths in two exhibition halls covering
635,000 square meters. In
previous years, the biannual trade fair was used as a means to promote China's
export trade, but last April companies from overseas were invited to display their
wares for the first time. It was seen as a move to show the world China's efforts
to increase imports and reduce its yawning trade surplus, which has triggered
trade disputes with other countries. The event will last until October 30.
