Creating a New Suzhou in Ten Years

How was this "seven consecutive championships" industrial park refined? Suzhou Industrial Park

In 1994, Suzhou Industrial Park was established with the approval of the State Council and is an important cooperation project between the governments of China and Singapore. Nowadays, the former suburban paddy fields and fish ponds have transformed into modern industrial parks that integrate industry, city, and people, creating a total import and export value of $1.46 trillion and a tax revenue of 1.03 trillion yuan.

From urban planning, government streamlining and efficiency, to social security, environmental protection... While fully opening up to the outside world, the park has carefully formulated over a hundred regulatory "management measures" that are in line with China's national conditions, reflect the direction of reform, and have independent characteristics. The economic and social operation mechanism that is in line with international standards has been used to this day. In the exhibition hall of the park, a hand-painted drawing by the former chief planner bears a striking resemblance to the real-life scenery by Jinji Lake today, as if a dream has come true.

Without any disturbance, always responding to requests, adhering to rules and understanding harmony. When foreign merchants start their business in Suzhou Industrial Park, their greatest feeling is comfort and peace of mind. Singaporean and Vice President of Tongfu Microelectronics, Zeng Zhaokong, came to the park to work in 2004, witnessing the continuous introduction of pro business policies and the continuous growth and strength of enterprises. He said, "Suzhou is the second hometown. Even if one day I retire and return home, I will still miss the people, the things, and the beauty here."

When it was established for 10 years, the main economic indicators of Suzhou Industrial Park reached the level of Suzhou in 1993, equivalent to rebuilding a new Suzhou.
