Managers interviewed for the latest progress

Over the last year, Guiyang city in Southwest China had been promoting the industrial-chain-based investment approach, and striving to turning more industrial chains into industrial clusters, and had introduced a group of representative projects, injecting new vitality to the city.

Recently, project managers were interviewed by city officials, to gauge the latest progress being made in Guiyang – capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province – by key projects being developed there.

At one, construction workers are currently working full-out to build the main structure, comprising some 15 buildings, of the new Guiyang sci-tech innovation industrial complex of the Liando U Valley.

Feng Mingjun, the manager in charge of construction, said in an interview the project was launched in October last year and was being divided into two phases. Phase one, currently ongoing, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023 and will be able to accommodate up to 70 enterprises, he added.

As a leading industrial park operator in China, Beijing Liando Investment (Group) Co signed an agreement to establish the complex in Guiyang's Baiyun district.

The project will focus on high-end manufacturing sectors, such as new materials, intelligent equipment, precision instruments, and electronic information, and become an urban industrial cluster that integrates production, technology transfers, headquarters and supporting facilities.

Elsewhere, executives overseeing a project being funded by Guiyang Haocaitou Food Co in Guiyang's Guanshanhu district – as well as those managing the construction of a planned manufacturing base invested in by Beijing Fukangren Bio-pharm Tech Co in the Wudang district – also reported their latest progress to the city.

Last year, Guiyang and the nearby Guian New Area recorded 164.55 billion ($25.95 billion) yuan of investment in place, with 50.9 percent of that earmarked for industrial projects.
