According to the results of the 2021 list of China's outstanding government affair platforms, the English website of Liangjiang New Area – located in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality, was recognized as being among the most excellent English government websites (among national development zones) in 2021.
The new area has received the honor for eight years in a row.
The assessment was conducted by ceirp.cn, chinadaily.com.cn, and other authoritative assessment institutions and has been carried out for 20 years. The theme for 2021 was "digital government construction drives China's digitalization process".
As an authoritative publicity channel for Liangjiang New Area, the English website mainly caters to domestic and overseas business people, investors, as well as expats and foreigners interested in Chongqing. It provides the latest news on Liangjiang's investment projects, major events, government guides and policies, key innovations and life-related information from the website.
As China's first inland open new area, Liangjiang attaches great importance to international communication, establishing overseas publicity platforms and boosting global exchange in culture and economy.
John Edwards, the UK trade commissioner for China, praised Chongqing over its rise as a burgeoning center in intelligent manufacturing.
