2000 China Int'l Software Fair Opens

To what extent has world software developed? What position does Chinese software hold in the world? Answers to these questions can be found at the 2000 China International Software Fair opened today in Beijing.

It is reported that hi-tech software produced by over 100 companies at home and abroad, which represent the present domestic and international software development level, will accept the examination by the inspectors visiting the said fair.

The fair is of the highest level and the biggest scale ever held. Sponsors hold that it will greatly strengthen the international exchange of Chinese software and promote ties and cooperation between governments, enterprises and users. It will also enhance the core role of software in national information safety and propelling the rapid and sound development of Chinese software industry.

With the view to meeting the inspectors' demands as far as possible, the Software Fair Organizing Committee has specially set up a website through which visitors can see the simulated fair online.
