At the same time, more than 6,000 enterprises have exhibited over 50,000 varieties of commodities at a virtual fair -- "on-line Guangzhou Commodities Fair", which is held simultaneously with the current event.

A total of 100,000 overseas businessmen are expected to visit the fair, according to the organizing committee.
