1. Advantage of great industrial shift
Liangjiang New Area is one of the key areas for the new round of global industrial shift. Due to the global and coastal industrial shift in the wake of the global financial crisis, Chongqing and Liangjiang New Area play an important role in linking the East and the West and connecting the north and the south of China. After World War II, U.S. industries first shifted their focus to Germany and Japan, then to Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan from the 1960s to 1980s, and then to the coastal areas of China from 1980s to the 21st century. The current financial crisis has led to a fourth global and coastal industrial shift featuring a westward movement. More than 120 Fortune 500 enterprises have moved west to Liangjiang New Area, creating an increase of 80 percent in imports and exports for three consecutive years.
2. Geographical advantages
Liangjiang New Area is located in the nodal region between Europe and Asia. Eurasia is becoming an important strategic directional place in China's policy of Western Development after China’s opening-up policy in China's east coastal areas. China's central and western areas are a strategic hinterland to Eurasia, and the project of the Chongqing-Lanyu-Eurasia International Railway offers Liangjiang New Area significant advantages in the establishment of the Asia-Europe international logistics passage, as the ports of Guoyuan and Cuntan connect the Pacific Ocean through the Yangtze River, the Chongqing-Lanyu-Eurasia International Railway reaches the Atlantic Ocean, and harbors in the southwest link with the Indian Ocean.
3. Advantage of great transformation
Liangjiang New Area is one of the key areas to explore and develop strategic transformation. During the great transformation of China's strategic development, the importance of the central and western regions of the country is maximized in terms of the strategic hinterland to expand domestic consumption and boost domestic markets. After the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), a pattern of "fast west and slow east" is being formed in the country, and the general growth rate of provinces and cities in west China ranks in the first tier. Liangjiang New Area, with a growth rate of 20.4 percent, is widely favored by investors and has become a key destination for global investment in the central and western regions of the country.
4. Advantages of great market
Liangjiang New Area is in the main area of China's great new emerging markets. Due to excessive production capacity and excessive capital, the importance of the market is becoming increasingly obvious. The overall emergence of the great market in the central and western regions, typified by Liangjiang New Area, has led to more than 300 million yuan just for its peripheral markets.
John Edwards, the UK trade commissioner for China, praised Chongqing over its rise as a burgeoning center in intelligent manufacturing.
