China News Service, February 25th. According to the "Europe Times" WeChat public account "East to West", the French town elections in Paris are about to start. In this election, in addition to the reshuffle of the leadership team in each of the major urban areas of Paris, after the election ended, the "central area" of Paris will also shine. Recently, the reporter interviewed Ariel Weil, the mayor of the fourth district of Paris and the mayor of the central district of Paris, to talk about his views on the future development of Chinese businessmen.
The city of Paris was divided into 20 districts from 1859. In March 2020, the Paris-level administrative division that lasted 161 years will enter history. Paris I, II, III and IV will be merged into the Paris “central area”.
Will was nominated by the current mayor of Paris, Hidalgo, to enter the list of mayors of the central district. Pierre Aidenbaum, the mayor of the third district of Paris, is also participating in the election of the mayor of central districts. Clearly expressed support for Will's campaign. Therefore, Will's campaign received strong support from the party.
What are the advantages of combining the four districts. Will said the main reason for the merger was the population, which was too small in the original four districts. For example, after the four districts were merged, the population was 100,000, and we know that the population of Paris's 13th district has reached 180,000. This is not good for overall planning and resource allocation. After the merger, it will be very useful for the integration of resources in tourism, culture, and economy.
Many Chinese businessmen engaged in import and export trade have moved out of the three districts and other regions and moved to the Obayvilles near Paris. However, there will still be some Chinese businessmen in the new “central area”, and whether these Chinese businessmen should move out or be retained.
Will believes that the existing Chinese businessmen will not be affected any more, and they will remain in the "central area". Because they have become part of the city and are part of the culture of the city. As you know, the three districts were the earliest places for Chinese entrepreneurs to start their own businesses. The existence of these Chinese businessmen is also a testimony of this history.
For everyone's concern, if Will is elected, what special measures will be introduced for Chinese and Chinese businessmen.
Will said that first, improving law and order is one of the topics of greatest concern to the Chinese community. The specific approach is to strengthen the police force and set up law and order liaison officers in the Chinese community. Second, to set up a business management center for the many characteristics of businesses in the area Liaison with the government and police. Third, following the suggestions of the Chinese representatives, the Chinese cultural center will be actively prepared, which is also conducive to the development of multiculturalism in the region. At the same time, a monument was erected, bearing in mind the Chinese contribution to France and Europe in the two "wars".
The contributions of Chinese and Chinese businessmen in Paris, France are obvious to all. When their needs and rights are protected, their contributions will be even greater. There is no doubt. (Kong Fan)
