Chinanews, Chongqing, August 7 (Reporter Liu Xianglin) "The company's sales in the second quarter have returned to the same period last year. This further illustrates the resilience of the mainland economy and the vast market. We will continue to increase investment in the mainland." Wu Yinghao, manager of Yutai Enterprise and Chongqing Qiaoxing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., told a reporter from China News Agency.
On the 7th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China invited more than 50 heads of Taiwanese-funded enterprises to hold a symposium to understand the situation of Taiwan-funded enterprises in Chongqing to fight the epidemic and resume work and production, and listen to the opinions and suggestions of Taiwanese enterprises on the current economic situation and development and reform.
Wu Yinghao's company is a subsidiary of Taiwan Nanqiao Group. Wu Yinghao said that the group established a subsidiary in Chongqing in 2016. In the three years since its establishment in Chongqing, the company's sales have increased from 300 million yuan to 700 million yuan. As the mainland domestic demand market continues to expand, the company will continue to increase its investment scale to meet mainland consumers' demand for high-end food.
"The epidemic has caused certain difficulties for the development of enterprises, but we have also found opportunities." Wu Yinghao said that the epidemic has made mainland consumers pay more attention to food safety, which has further promoted the upgrade of the company. During the epidemic, emerging sales methods such as live streaming and delivery of goods in the mainland have also opened up future marketing methods for enterprises. The company is increasingly optimistic about the development potential of the mainland.
In the past two years, individual Taiwan-funded enterprises have moved from the mainland to Southeast Asia for development. In the view of Lu Shangqi, the executive deputy secretary-general of the Chongqing Taiwan Compatriots Investment Enterprise Association and the general manager of Chongqing Taiyu Food Co., Ltd., this is because of the adjustment and upgrading of the mainland's industrial structure, and some Taiwanese companies have made choices that are not adapted to the development of the mainland. Correspondingly, more Taiwanese companies are following the adjustment of the mainland's industrial structure, and companies are also upgrading and sharing the mainland's development opportunities. The vast majority of Taiwanese companies are still optimistic about the mainland and have firm confidence to take root in the mainland.

At the same time, the mainland used to attach importance to exports, and now proposes to accelerate the formation of a new development pattern in which domestic and international cycles are the mainstay and mutual promotion of domestic and international cycles. In this context, the huge domestic demand market on the mainland is more attractive to Taiwanese companies.
