The 23rd China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning has unveiled a first-of-its-kind AI marketplace designed to accelerate bilateral digital economy cooperation by matching Chinese technological solutions with ASEAN market demands. While the main venue highlights breakthroughs in large language models and advanced AI chips, a permanent year-round sub-venue showcases more than 400 consumer and industrial products—including intelligent robotics and smart healthcare devices—tailored for regional deployment. Amid strong economic momentum that saw China-ASEAN trade expand 24.7% year-on-year to $744.41 billion in the first seven months of 2026, the specialized platform serves as a super-interface supporting the implementation of the upgraded CAFTA 3.0 framework.
