The 23rd China-ASEAN Expo opened on 17 September 2026 in Nanning, Guangxi. The international trade show continues through 21 September as China and ASEAN implement the CAFTA 3.0 upgrade protocol signed in October 2025.
Organizers reported more than 3,400 companies from over 70 countries and regions. The exhibition covers about 170,000 square metres, with participating enterprises up 5.3 percent from the previous edition.
A wider brief for regional cooperation
The floor brings together traditional industries, digital communications and green development. A new AI marketplace presents more than 500 products. Another new area targets ASEAN cooperation in transport, smart logistics, urban management and industrial parks.
More than 50 trade and investment promotion activities are scheduled during the fair. The programme also includes the China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit, adding a formal business-events track to the exhibition.
For exhibitors and buyers, the Nanning event combines trade fairs with policy and investment discussions. Its mix of expos, conferences and commercial meetings gives organizers a broad platform for cross-border industry news and trade show intelligence.
