HOST of the annual China-ASEAN Expo, Nanning is a bustling city that's proud of its recently acquired international renown. Nanning is capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and its 6 million inhabitants are often seen buzzing about on motorbikes - the commonest mode of transport in this flat, subtropical city. Having more motorized bikes than any other Chinese city, it's often dubbed the “City of Motorcycles.”
When completed in 2010, the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area will con- tribute respective GDP increases of 1 percent and 0.3 percent to the ASEAN and Chinese economies.
