Jiangsu in Brief
Jiangsu province is located along the eastern coast of China between east longitude 116°18′and 121°57′, north latitude 30°45′and 35°20′. With Yellow Sea to its east, Jiangsu adjoins Anhui and Shandong provinces in the west and north respectively, with Zhejiang province and the city of Shanghai as its neighbors in the southeast.
Jiangsu is one of the best economies in China and historically known as “a land flowing with milk and honey”. Jiangsu is also the birthplace of national industry. Since reform and opening-up, Jiangsu province has been pursuing the strategies of “invigorating the province through science and education”, serving the global economy, achieving regional common development and sustainable development. As a result, the provincial economy maintains fast growth, the degree of industrialization becomes much higher, the overall economic strength increases noticeably, and the residents’ living standard improves a lot.
Our Priorities
1. Open Economy
2. Coastal Development Strategy
In Jiangsu, three municipalities border the yellow sea. They are namely Lian Yungang, Yancheng and Nantong. The next key step on the province’s schedule is to start a new phase of coastal development. The coastal development program has been approved by our central government. It focuses on building large ports, introducing big projects, developing major sectors of industry and finally establishing a coastal economic belt. The new phase of development, I believe, will again bring great business opportunities for enterprises at home and abroad.
3. International Manufacturing Base
Jiangsu has firm foundation in textile, machinery, electronic products, oil chemical and construction materials. Industrial Added Value takes leading place in China for years. Numerous FDI enhances Jiangsu’s advantage in manufacturing, and makes Jiangsu an international manufacturing base.
