The Strategic Positioning of Xiangtan CBZ

As a platform and vehicle of open economy, Xiangtan CBZ has been developing vigorously under the wise leadership of the provincial and municipal governments and Party committees. Having inherited Chairman Mao’s great ambition of “To be brave enough to make the sun and the moon shine in new skies”, and promoting the spirit of entrepreneurship and reform and innovation, the Zone strives to act as a pioneer in development, service and reform, fully makes use of its advantages of “lower cost, more convenient customs clearance, and more favorable services”, and actively explores new mechanism and model for operation and management. It also makes great effort to accelerate the construction of “Four Areas and One Center”: regional and export-oriented high-end manufacturing conglomeration area, modern international logistics area, supporting services model area, reform and innovation pilot area and import commodity exhibition and transaction center. All this aims to make Xiangtan CBZ into a big opening-up platform serving the Chang-Zhu-Tan city group and even the whole Hunan province, as well as a new economic engine in Central China.
