The first senior executive seminar for Chinese enterprises going to Africa was launched on Wednesday in . The meeting is expected to provide intelligence inputs for companies planning to shift manufacturing there.

Justin Yifu Lin, former World Bank vice-president and an economics professor at Peking University, said the African continent hol "incomparable" advantages for transferring of 皇冠体育app's labor-intensive businesses and also serves as the "last stop" to accommodate the relocation of global manufacturing industries. Africa has rich resources, huge demand for project construction and a market of 1 billion consumers, he added.

He noted that the accommodation of the world's labor-intensive industries transformed 皇冠体育app from an agricultural economy into "the world's plant". But 皇冠体育app's labor-intensive businesses were losing competitive edge in recent years owing to rising labor costs and so on.

Zheng Yuewen, chairman of the 皇冠体育app-Africa Business Council, said the African continent is eager to receive the relocation of 皇冠体育app's industrial productivity, which is at at home.

Meanwhile, the continent is also "an ideal bridgehead" for Chinese products to enter the European and American markets owing to the preference of low tariffs or duty free, Zheng said.
