Chongqing is a municipality of 31 million, situated in Western China along the Yangtze River. Like many cities in China, Chongqing strives to promote international investment in the
region with substantial support from the central government. The region receives funding aimed at expediting the development of Chongqing including infrastructure improvements and foreign
direct investment campaigns.
Chongqing, one of only four municipalities directly under the central government, is the largest metropolis on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the largest industrial and
commercial center in southwest China. The city has strong communication capabilities, a sound economic foundation and provides access to highly educated personnel. It is the only city in
west China that has the facilities of the gold waterway--the Yangtze River. Located in the Three Gorges Dam area, the city enjoys the special advantage brought about by the development of
the dam area. The infrastructure surrounding the dam provides an essential link between eastern and western China. On the axis of potential economic development, Chongqing has the unique
advantage of connecting the west with the east and has abundant natural resources.
