BEIJING, Mar. 23 (Xinhua) -- Xinhua Silk Road, China’s state information service platform focusing on the Belt and Road Initiative under Xinhua News Agency, launches business environment reports of Heilongjiang and Guizhou respectively on Friday.
According to Heilongjiang’s Business Environment & Assessment Report (2017), Heilongjiang Province has investment advantages in geographic location, natural resources and relatively close trade relationship with Russia.
The advantageous industries attracting foreign investment in Heilongjiang include agriculture, forestry, mining, cultural tourism, information service, commerce and trade logistics. However the province is still facing problems such as imperfect infrastructure, irrational industrial structure and unbalanced regional development, which should be considered by investors.
Guizhou’s Business Environment & Assessment Report (2017) shows that in a bid to effectively attract foreign investment, Guizhou continuously builds itself into the Inland Open Economic Pilot Zone, promotes facilitation of trade and investment, optimizes the investment environment and accelerates the construction of Guian New District, Guiyang Hi-Tech Zone, Zunyi Economic Development Zone and other opening-up platforms.
The reports are a part of a series of reports by Xinhua Silk Road on the business environment of 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions on Chinese mainland. Backed up by economic information database of Xinhua News Agency and information collection network throughout the country, the reports provide more than 50 indicators in 12 aspects and follow the changes in the areas of politics, economics, society and investment policies. The reports also provide investment advises and risk valuation, which are conducted by economic analysts, to overseas investors.
The reports will be updated and released annually, and they will serve the Belt and Road Initiative, follow the changes of business environment, provide information and opportunities to overseas investors and help all provinces and regions of China to introduce quality foreign investment.
In the future, Xinhua Silk Road will release more domestic and overseas business environment information and analysis reports, provide relevant database service. It also regularly releases Belt and Road Weekly, which focuses on the latest development of the Belt and Road Initiative and showcases the achievements and opportunities to the international community.
