Chengdu enjoys a good reputation among foreign enterprises

On October 19, 2011, Mr. Ge Honglin, Mayor of Chengdu, met with Mr. Myron Brilliant, Senior Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who came to Chengdu for the 12th Western China International Fair and the 3rd China- America Cooperation and Development Forum.

During the meeting, Mr. Ge said there has been flourishing trade between Chengdu and the US in recent years, with the trade volume growing at a fast speed and the US becoming one of the major trading partners of Chengdu.

The planning of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Development Zones shows a clear way for Chengdu to accelerate construction of an international city. Chengdu, enjoying a broad prospect, will surely play a growing role in the world economy by integrating itself quickly into the world economy, he said.

Chengdu enjoys a very good reputation among foreign-funded enterprises for safeguarding fair play, intellectual property rights and free competition. A workshop for foreign enterprises is held every quarter in Chengdu, showing the sincerity of the Chengdu Municipal Government to better the investment environment and its government service, he said.

Mr. Brilliant said the rapid economic growth of Chengdu in recent years despite the terrible earthquake and arduous reconstruction work has been recognized by the international community and deserves its admiration.

The US Chamber of Commerce pays great attention to trade and economic ties with Chengdu. And we hope to expand our business in western China through further cooperation with the city, he said.

What we care about most is Southwest China’s surprisingly rapid growth which is beyond our imagination, Mr.Quin said.
