Guiyang, Guian push to attract more business

Guiyang city and the nearby Guian New Area – both located in Southwest China's Guizhou province – in the first quarter recorded 39.13 billion yuan ($6.13 billion) of investment funds in place.

That accounted for 24.24 percent of the annual target, according to the Guiyang bureau of investment promotion.

Since the start of the year the two have intensified their efforts to attract businesses, with an estimated 10 to 50 target enterprises selected monthly as the main objects for business promotion.

The government has been making full use of its considerable market resources in the medical, educational and emergency response equipment sectors.

It's been broadening its business promotion channels, expanding on-site business attraction drives, and enhancing its cooperation with third-party professional agencies.
