China Paper has been jointly held by E.J. Krause & Associates, Inc. USA and China Paper Industry Development Corporation (the latter was merged into China National Pulp & Paper Institute)。According to the cooperation agreement, E.J. Krause & Associates, Inc. was responsible for recruiting the foreign exhibitors, and China National Pulp & Paper Institute was responsible for organizing the local exhibitors. 
　　The cooperation relationship started from 1987. Over the past 25 years, the amount of domestic exhibitors from several booths developed to occupy a whole China Hall, which area was even larger than the international hall for the foreign exhibitors, and the exhibition has become a brand exhibition from an unknown, small exhibition. China National Pulp and Paper Research Institute, the organizer of China Hall, has made tremendous contributions. 
　　The original cooperation agreement expires by the end of 2012, and the two sides decided to terminate the cooperation.
　　The license (as attached) for holding the exhibition and conference of China Paper 2013 by China National Pulp and Paper Research Institute has been issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China. Meanwhile, considering the demands of China's market, the original 21th China Paper renames to 2013 China International Paper Technology Exhibition and Conference (CIPTE), and China Paper Association, China Technical Association of Paper Industry and China National Pulp and Paper Research Institute will jointly hold the exhibition. We hope this most famous Asia exhibition become a brand exhibition of paper industry.
