The event aims to expand the scope of cooperation between east and west China and promote the involvement of non-state enterprises in regrouping property rights at state-owned enterprises.

The fair has attracted prestigious enterprises in Japan, the Republic of Korea and southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong and Macao.
