SHANXI

For a long time, Shanxi and Hong Kong have set up close economic and trade cooperative relationship, which has not only enhanced economic and social development in Shanxi, but also expended the development space for Hong Kong enterprises. Up to May 2006, Hong Kong companies have invested 1,187 projects in Shanxi, accounting for 47% of overall foreign investment projects in Shanxi. The total contractual investment from Hong Kong has reached US$1.86 billion, accounting for 28% of overall contractual foreign investment in Shanxi. In 2005, trade volume between Shanxi and the areas of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan was US$253 million. With the strategy to promote the rise of midland introduced by central government, Shanxi, located in the midland of China, has become a hotspot that attracts attention from all areas, leading to a new surge of investment and development. Based on these situations, hopefully we can have more cooperation and development opportunities... Shanxi Municipal People's..
