MEISHAN, China, Sept. 20, 2021 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--
From September 16 to 20, the 18th Western China International Fair is held in
Chengdu. More than 50,000 guests and merchants from 66 countries (regions)
participated in the exhibition online and on site, according to Meishan
Municipal People's Government.
At this year's Western China International Fair, Meishan City, Sichuan
Province, China, has presented the largest ever exhibition since its
participation. The exhibition is divided into two venues: Comprehensive Image
Venue and International Cooperation Venue, with a total exhibition area of
1,575 square meters. The content of the exhibition is rich and colorful. It not
only shows the historical and cultural heritage brought by Meishan as the
hometown of Su Dongpo, the great ancient scholar, but also the ecological
advantages that it relies on as a national forest city and an important part of
the Sichuan Area of the Giant Panda National Park, as well as characteristic
local industries such as bamboo weaving and Dongpo pickled vegetable.
Represented by innovative industry projects such as Sino-French Agricultural
Technology Park, Unilever (Sichuan) Global Production Base, Legoland of Tianfu
New Area, Sino Japanese International Healthy Care Precinct, etc., the
exhibition shows a new city image with innovation and opening-up.
It is worth noting that, to enhance the interactive experience, the Meishan
Exhibition Hall is embedded with modern sound and light equipment such as
"virtual roaming, 360 holographic images", and a cartoon image designed with Su
Dongpo, the representative figure of Meishan, as the prototype, is used as the
virtual host to tell visitors about the development of Meishan from the aspects
of culture, ecology, and industry.
Meishan is located in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, an important area
of China's "the Belt and Road" strategy. It belongs to the Chengdu metropolitan
area led by the core city, with obvious regional advantages. In recent years,
Meishan has prioritized "open development" and established economic and trade
relations with 70 countries and regions. In Sichuan, it is one of the
fastest-growing areas, with the second-largest number of Fortune Global 500
enterprises establishing their presence, behind Chengdu.
In addition to the obvious geographical advantages and potential industrial
resources that have won the favor of foreign investors, the positive attitude
of the local government is also an important reason for attracting investment.
Meishan makes full use of international and domestic exhibitions such as the
China International Import Expo, Canton Fair, and Western China International
Fair to actively promote its advantageous industries. In the process of
actively "going out" and "bringing in", many high-quality projects and
enterprises have settled down in Meishan.
Taking the Western China International Fair as an example, at the 17th Western
China International Fair held in 2018, Meishan signed 26 projects with a total
contract amount of RMB 28.6 billion. Relying on this platform, high-quality
projects such as Lenovo Dieyun (Meishan) Innovation and Technology Park
Project, Mengniu Dairy (Meishan) Annual Production of 180,000 Tons of
Low-Temperature Milk Production Project, Lekai New Material Electronic Material
R&D and Industrial Base Project have settled down in Meishan.
From January to August 2021, Meishan signed 109 new projects for investment
attraction, with the contract amount reaching RMB 249.814 billion. The number
of projects and the contract amount increased by 18.48% and 65.94%
year-on-year, respectively.
On August 3, Shanghai Shanshan Lithium Battery Material Technology Co., Ltd., a
well-known Chinese lithium-ion battery anode material R&D and production
company, formally signed a contract with Pengshan District, Meishan City. The
company will invest RMB 10 billion to create an integration project with an
annual output of 200,000 tons of lithium battery anode material.
Zheng Yonggang, chairman of the company's board of directors, believes that
although Meishan is not currently a major city in the lithium battery industry,
it has a good business environment and new energy industry foundation. The
project will help Meishan become the world's largest lithium battery anode
material production base.
