“Deeply cultivating Chongqing is our firm choice for Taiwanese businessmen.” At the second session of the Sixth Chongqing Municipal People’s Political Consultative Conference being held here, Huang Guangzhi, a Taiwanese who has been specially invited to attend many times and president of the Chongqing Taiwan Compatriots Investment Enterprises Association, accepted the In an interview, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency said that as “new Chongqing people”, the family of three generations and seven people are witnesses of the integrated development of Chongqing and Taiwan. He hopes that Chongqing and Taiwan will continue to promote exchanges and cooperation in various fields and provide new opportunities for Taiwanese businessmen to develop in Chongqing.
Huang Guangzhi is a second-generation Taiwanese businessman. His father came to Chongqing 30 years ago and founded Chongqing Ideal Liquefied Petroleum Gas Industrial Co., Ltd. 20 years ago, Huang Guangzhi came to Chongqing and served as the chairman of Chongqing Good Times Industrial Co., Ltd., starting his own business in Chongqing.
“I live in Chongqing for more than 300 days every year, taking root and integrating into Chongqing with my Taiwanese folks. My children also live and study here.” Huang Guangzhi said that Taiwan compatriots in Mainland China are witnesses and participants in the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. In terms of daily life, after the introduction of the Taiwan Resident Residence Permit, his family was the first batch of Taiwanese compatriots in Chongqing to receive the permit. In terms of business, thanks to Chongqing’s steady economic growth and broad market space, his family business has grown from a small business making liquefied gas tanks to a medium-sized enterprise with more than 700 employees and more than 500 franchised dealers.
“Comfort and peace of mind” are Huang Guangzhi’s true feelings about living in Chongqing. He believes that Chongqing has sound infrastructure and convenient transportation. Taiwanese-style commercial complexes and convenience stores are also found in all districts and counties of the city. The enthusiastic mountain city people, spicy hot pot, and colorful scenery all make people linger. “In Chongqing, you can travel to all directions, relieve your homesickness, and feel happy. Living in Chongqing is truly ‘Bashi’ (meaning comfortable),” Huang Guangzhi said.
The latest data shows that Chongqing’s GDP in 2023 will reach a new level of 3 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. The local area also proposed to build a modern manufacturing cluster system, create a new highland for cross-strait exchanges, a gathering place for Taiwanese capital to move westward, and a place where Taiwanese compatriots aspire to build their dreams… Sensing unprecedented development opportunities, Huang Guangzhi said “we are full of confidence in the future.”
At the ongoing Chongqing Two Sessions, Huang Guangzhi suggested that Chongqing and Taiwan can continue to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, cultural exchanges, and emotional integration to benefit compatriots in both places.
“The important foundation for the integrated development of Chongqing and Taiwan is economic integration.” Huang Guangzhi said that Taiwan’s biotechnology industry is quite competitive, but due to market restrictions, many good products have not exerted their due advantages. Chongqing and Taiwan can deepen their efforts in this field cooperate.
Huang Guangzhi also believes that cultural and sports exchanges will help cross-strait integration. Whether it is marathon, badminton, slow-pitch softball, etc., they can create opportunities for cross-strait cultural exchanges and integration. In addition, Chongqing and Taiwan can also jointly develop cultural products and projects to bring characteristics such as Tongliang Fire Dragon, Chongqing Noodles, and Hot Pot cultural industries to Taiwan.
Attracting young people from Taiwan to study and find jobs in Chongqing will help the emotional integration between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Huang Guangzhi said that as long as Taiwanese youth come to mainland China to visit and study, there will be a great degree of cognitive change. It is expected that Chongqing will introduce more policies to expand the opportunities and paths for Taiwanese youth to study, live, and find employment in Chongqing, and to enhance Taiwanese youth’s understanding of the mainland.
