More than 2,000 foreign and domestic enterprises took part in the Seventh China-ASEAN Expo, which opened in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on October 19. The expo lasted for six days.

The event had a total of 4,600 exhibition booths, all for exhibitors from China and the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The zero-tariff framework under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, established on January 1 this year, has made the expo more attractive for participants from Southeast Asia.
