Experience the impact of B2B E-commerce in Asia
"Connecting Supply and Demand Between China and USA"

Fremont, California, August 22, 2000 - On August 23 the CHINAnUSA.com sponsored seminar "B2B Marketplaces Expanding to Asia" will take place from 8:00 to 17:00 at Hyatt Rickey's in Palo Alto. Hosted by Asia-Links, whose mission is to help Asian companies conduct business globally, and help U.S. companies penetrate into Asia, this conference will bring together leading corporations and startups in the growing B2B marketplaces in Asia to discuss the opportunities and challenges of e-commerce infrastructure and services. Sponsors and participants include executives responsible for strategic business investment and management.

Jerry Shih, President and CEO of CHINAnUSA.com will be giving a speech at 13:00 on "Connecting Supply and Demand Between CHINA and USA," a theme that points out how tremendous trade leads can be realized by tightening the relationship between buyers and sellers with well-managed trade process, from sourcing to shipping. He will also touch upon the opportunities and obstacles that businesses embarking on B2B e-commerce may face in the marketplace in Asia. In order to better demonstrate how some issues associated with vendor-control supply chain, complex logistics management, and insufficient trust on web-based trading can be addressed, Jerry will use CHINAnUSA.com's complete trading solution as an illustration of a successful approach.

While the Internet and e-commerce are penetrating into Asia, a region that makes up 2/3 of the world population and is considered as the potential market for the greatest economic growth, this critical "B2B Marketplaces" forum spotlights the future market for US businesses.
