As the eye-catching barometer of China's external trade, the biannual fair has attracted some 400 companies from 36 countries.

Under the impact of the financial crisis, most of companies are trying their best to promote their products and attracting more customers.

Yao Jian is a ministry spokesperson.

"I think Chinese products, in particular those labor-intensive ones and construction equipment, are still competitive in the global market. In this way, we are confident of seeing trade growth in 2009."
