The 2008 Summer Olympics have focused the attention of the world on Beijing and China. Now is an excellent time to also explore tremendous new business opportunities in a modern, emerging high-technology economy.
China’s booming economy, well-developed infrastructure and large pool of highly skilled labor means that an increasing number of companies are and will continue to look to China for outsourcing. The Chinese government and its associated ministries, including the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Information Industry, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Finance, attach great importance to international outsourcing as a vital component of the country’s future economic development.
Until now, 13 cities have been designated “Chinese Service Outsourcing Base Cities” by the Chinese government. These are Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Dalian, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Xi’an, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Changsha and Jinan. The Suzhou Industrial Park and Wuxi have been established as “Chinese Service Outsourcing Demonstration Zones”.
The target cities for this trip – Wuxi, Shanghai, Kunshan, and Nanjing – are rapidly developing hubs for finance, trade and foreign direct investment. These cities are authorized base cities for service outsourcing, offering a range of beneficial policies on land, tax, and human resources.
Wuxi: Wuxi lies in the southeastern Jiangsu Province. Abutting the picturesque Taihu Lake, it belongs to the economically developed Yangtze River Delta. It has Suzhou to the east; is 128 km from Shanghai; faces Taihu Lake in the south; neighbors Zhejiang Province; abuts Changzhou in the west; is 183 km from Nanjing; has the Yangtze River in the north; and commands 35 km of the golden Yangtze River bank.
Shanghai: With a history of more than 700 years, Shanghai was once the financial center of the Far East regions. Since reforms began in the 1990s, great changes have taken place in the city. The municipal government is working towards building Shanghai into a modern metropolis and into a world economic, financial, trading and shipping center by 2020.
Kunshan: Kunshan is a charming water city lying on the south of the Yangtze River. It is like a glittering pearl between Shanghai and Suzhou. It is also the birthplace of Kun Opera, which was awarded by the UN “Human Being’s Representation Work of Oral and Non-Substance”.
Zhouzhuang: As a typical model of the old water towns, Zhouzhang is in fact China’s No.1 water town. All these are the ever-lasting cultural backgrounds of Kunshan.
Nanjing: Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province, situated in the hilly areas of Nanjing and Zhenjiang in the lower reaches of Yangtze River. Nanjing borders with the Yangtze River Delta to the east and the hilly areas of South Anhui to the west, adjacent to the water network of Taihu Lake in the south and the Jianghuai Plain in the north. With the "golden waterway" Yangtze River flowing through the city, it is 380km from the Yangtze River estuary to the sea, and about 300km to Shanghai, the largest city of China.
We look forward to your joining us on this trip.
