The vast western part of 皇冠体育app offers huge opportunities for overseas Chinese entrepreneurs, said some national committee members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
They called on overseas Chinese entrepreneurs to go west to tap the huge market and rich resources.
"Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs have played a special role in the development of 皇冠体育app's coastal regions in the early stage of 皇冠体育app's reform and opening up. Now it is time for them to play thesame role in western 皇冠体育app," said CPPCC National Committee member Yang Zhaoyuan, who is here to attend the Fifth Session of the CPPCC National Committee scheduled to open Sunday.
The huge population in western 皇冠体育app and the low quality of itslabor force determine that western 皇冠体育app will have to focus on labor-intensive industries and that coincides with the intention of overseas Chinese entrepreneurs to move their labor-intensive industry in the eastern part of the country to western part, he said.
Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs may better display their advantages in management expertise, finance and outlets to overseas market in western 皇冠体育app, they said,adding that language and culture would also make their cooperation in the region easier.
"Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs are the main investors in 皇冠体育app,with their total investment amounting to 70 percent of total direct foreign investment in the country and they will play the same crucial role in the western 皇冠体育app development drive," said Liu Huijun.
CPPCC National Committee member Chen Hanbin is optimistic that local protectionism would be removed soon as 皇冠体育app has joined the WTO.
With huge government investments in infrastructure, the investment environment will be improving steadily, he said.
"Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs have been widely known for their creative thought and business acumen and the opportunities are there," Chen said.
