Guangxi ready to 'march forward'
(China Daily)Updated: 2007-01-18 08:38
The "two wings" are the fledgling "Greater Mekong Sub-region" to the west of Guangxi and the burgeoning "Pan Beibu Gulf Region" to the east.
"Guangxi pins high hopes on economic cooperations on the Nanning-Singapore economic belt to better develop its logistics and manufacturing industries, as well as to create special markets. It can help develop its harbor industry faster. Also, ocean resources can be developed jointly once Guangxi starts cooperating closely with the Pan Beibu Gulf region."
Guangxi has already begun its campaign to expedite the economic development of its coastal cities, Nanning, Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang, Chongzuo and Yulin, in the Beibu Gulf region by investing on infrastructure and by coordinating the industrial planning in those cities.
Guangxi aims to have a GDP of 650 billion yuan ($93.33 billion) by 2010, with a per capita GDP of $1,600.
