More than 600 projects with a total
investment of 600 billion yuan (about 87.7 billion U.S. dollars) were
signed Saturday during the online World Manufacturing Convention held in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province. China's
domestic market has huge growth potential and the development of the
country's manufacturing industry will bring the world greater investment
opportunities and broader investment prospects under the new economic
development pattern of "dual circulation," said Vice Commerce Minister
Wang Shouwen at the opening ceremony of the convention's Jianghuai
Online Economic Forum. Xu Lijin,
chairman of Efort Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., who took part in the
online deals signing, said he has full confidence in the future as
China's economy is resilient and dynamic. The
World Manufacturing Convention was held online for the first time due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. It focused on promoting high-quality growth of
manufacturing and digital economy as well as on guiding the digital
eocnomy to deeply integrate with the real economy. Zhang
Xi, vice governor of Anhui Province, said 1,073 projects with a total
investment of 962.2 billion yuan were signed during the World
Manufacturing Convention in 2018 and 2019. By
the end of August, 1,008 projects had finished company registrations
and 880 projects had started construction, Zhang said. Enditem
