During planning economy stage, China’s exhibitions had strong political function but weak economic function and were completely led by government. After reform and open-up, exhibition development model changes from completely government-led to limited government-led and from governmentally directly holding exhibitions to governmentally boosting the exhibitions development by industrial support policies, industrial development plan and so on, therefore, government-led exhibition model is more and more diversified and market-oriented. Although government-led type exhibitions are restricted after the 18th National Congress of CPC, government will not completely withdraw from exhibition, and the exhibitions with strong political function and big international influence will still be held by governments. The inevitable trend of China’s exhibition industry development will be changed from completely government-led to limited government-led, thus, China should set up inter-department exhibition industry management agencies, enhance industrial support strength, actively let industrial association play a role, establish the classified management mechanism of government-led exhibitions, and meanwhile, continue to bring the advantage of China’s organizational awareness into play to boost the market-oriented and diversified development of government-led exhibitions.
