The BRI Intersection Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference 2020 opened in Nanjing’s Baijin Hanjue Hotel on November 18.
Jiangsu enjoys a unique position in the country’s Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, known as the Belt and Road Initiative, because it’s where the land and sea trade routes meet, an intersection point.
Yao Zheng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hong Kong Jiefeng Group, said overseas Chinese entrepreneurs are important practitioners of the Chinese Dream. Jiangsu has unique regional advantages, such as a GDP ranking among the top in China’s provinces as well as talent and innovation strengths. Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs from all over the world have met new development opportunities in Jiangsu in the post-pandemic era, and such investment and development experiences will help realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
Cao Yanling, president of the Nordic Sino Investment Group, said 2020 has been an unprecedented year as COVID-19 spreads in the world but Jiangsu has made effective progress and now offers new opportunity. Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs should take this opportunity and increase investment in the province.
According to Dai Congfang, executive vice president of the Federation of Jiangsu Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs, the new economic development pattern of "dual circulation," a policy that takes the domestic market as the mainstay while letting internal and external markets boost each other, is very important to promote the BRI progress.
Chen Kuanyou, supervisor of the Federation of Jiangsu Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs, said, as an oversea Chinese from Australia, he hopes to seize the development opportunity in the Belt and Road Initiative and contribute to economic growth in both Australia and China.
In the view of Shen Lixin, president of Wuxi Howfond Biopharma, Jiangsu is a favored investment destination because of its enterprises, services and cultural heritage. Shen hopes for more cooperation with Jiangsu companies and government in promoting the province’s products and service in the global market.
