The 132nd session of the China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, opened online on Saturday with a record number of products on display and offering a longer service timeline.
More than 35,000 domestic and overseas companies are participating in the event, which is approximately 10,000 more than that of the previous session and they have submitted over 3.06 million exhibits, said Xu Bing, spokesperson of the fair.
"Although the current Canton Fair will be online only, it can make use of the advantages of modern information technology," said Tang Ping, the senior manger of Canton Fair Operation Department, under the China Foreign Trade Center.
Starting from this session, the Canton Fair will extend the service period of its online platform, with the availability of most functions, from the previous 10 days to five months.
