Known in the past as Canton, Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong province and the third largest city in China. With a population of about 90 million, Guangdong is the commercial and industrial center of southern China. Guangdong ranks No. 1 among all provinces in China in foreign trade and accounts for more than one-third of China's total imports. CITEX offers an excellent opportunity for U.S. companies to market their products and services to end-users in China.

CITEX is a trade show certified by U.S. Department of Commerce. CS Guangzhou, together with AmCham Guangdong, is promoting CITEX with a goal of featuring a U.S. pavilion at the trade show.
