Domestic enterprises actively participated in Canton Fair, that took place from April 15 to 20, which is the largest import and export exhibition. Aokang Group, one of the biggest footwear manufacturers of China, had spent huge amount on the publicity during the expo, to become official supplier of leather shoes during the Olympic.
The domestic manufacturers do not want to miss even a single chance of luring the Olympic officials. As the enterprises want to associate their products with this grand event, scheduled from August 8.
