With the deepening of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, Chongqing has become a "depression" for Taiwanese capital to move westward.
Chongqing has deep historical ties with Taiwan, and is one of the main destinations for Taiwanese businessmen to invest in the western part of the mainland.
In 2021, Chongqing's newly contracted Taiwanese capital will be US$841 million, a year-on-year increase of 13.6%, and seven new enterprises with an investment of more than US$10 million will be added.
As of December 2021, Chongqing has approved a total of 1,969 Taiwan-funded enterprises.

Zheng Ping, CEO of Delta Group, said that Delta expanded its manufacturing to the western part of the mainland for the first time, and could further participate in the development of inland areas. He looked forward to working with Chongqing to create a new win-win situation.
Huang Guangzhi, president of the Chongqing Taiwan Compatriots Investment Enterprise Association, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that although it is inconvenient for Taiwanese businessmen from Taiwan to come to the mainland under the epidemic, Taiwanese businessmen from all over the country have come to invest in Chongqing. One is the construction of a twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area.
The twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area has transformed Chongqing and Chengdu from mutual competition to coordinated development.
In the future, when Taiwanese companies invest in Sichuan and Chongqing, Sichuan and Chongqing can be considered and deployed as a whole market, and the market elements will be more complete, which will bring more opportunities for Taiwanese and Taiwanese companies.
In fact, Sichuan and Chongqing have joined hands to guide Taiwanese companies and businessmen to participate in the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.
After the Taiwan Office of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee and the Taiwan Office of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee proposed the construction of the Shuangcheng Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area, they signed relevant agreements to integrate the resources of the two places and promote the production of various types of industries, technologies, talents, and information related to Taiwan in the two provinces and cities. The efficient aggregation and optimal allocation of factors will create better conditions for the westward development of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises.
In this context, the 2021 "Taiwan Enterprises Travel to the West" event was successfully held in Sichuan and Chongqing for the first time. In Chongqing alone, nearly 20 Taiwan-funded enterprises and related projects have signed contracts, involving an amount of 1.4 billion yuan.
Huang Guangzhi believes that the westward expansion of Taiwanese capital can bring advantageous elements such as capital brand, market operation, and management experience, which will help the western region optimize the industrial structure, establish and improve a modern industrial system, and achieve complementary advantages and mutual benefits.
With the continuous improvement of open channels and open platforms in the western region, the development gap between the western region and the eastern region has gradually narrowed. Coastal Taiwanese companies, including Delta Group, continue to shift their production capacity to the western region, and this trend will continue.
Liu Jiannan, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chongqing Municipal Government, said that in October 2021, the "Planning Outline for the Construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle" was officially released, marking the in-depth development of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle construction, and Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises are facing new challenges. significant development opportunities.
