Along the way, Taiwan-funded enterprises in Jiaxing have continuously achieved innovative breakthroughs. Behind the rapid development, they not only have their own perseverance, but also have a group of entrepreneurs who dare to innovate and change. They are also inseparable from the support and help of government departments.
For a long time, Jiaxing has been committed to innovating service mechanisms and optimizing the business environment, so that Taiwanese enterprises can attract, retain and develop well.
In 2021, Jiaxing will take the opportunity of hosting the on-site meeting of Zhejiang Province on the implementation of the "22 Agriculture and Forestry Regulations" and "Eight Measures to Benefit Youth", and invites the leaders of the Economic Bureau of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council to come and give guidance, and promptly study and issue the "Jiaxing City Implementation" on supporting Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese investment.

Feedback to the place: Accelerate the drawing of a blueprint for mutual wealth
The vast number of Taiwanese enterprises in Jiaxing continue to expand and strengthen themselves, while actively nurturing local areas, contributing to urban construction, people's livelihood security and other aspects, helping Jiaxing to build a model city of common prosperity.
On November 4, 2021, the "Ideal Common Wealth Fund" jointly initiated by Jiaxing Shihe New Rural Development Co., Ltd. and the Education Foundation of Nanhu Affiliated School of Beijing Normal University in Zhejiang Province was officially established.
The fund is led by Jiaxing Shihe New Rural Development Co., Ltd., and a number of Taiwan-funded enterprises have raised more than 20 million yuan in response to the construction of a model city for common prosperity proposed by the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee.
Many Taiwan-funded enterprises in Jiaxing are participating in the construction of Gongfu in an all-round way.
For example, by providing free seeds and seedlings, free teaching and cultivation techniques, free door-to-door guidance, free help and marketing, etc., to join hands with farmers around Nanhu District to improve the ability to "get rich"; by participating in the construction of local mountain-sea cooperative twinning areas, help Lishui and Taizhou Counties and districts are prosperous together in Jinhua, Jinhua and other places; by providing public welfare funding and psychological help and education, they will solve spiritual and material problems for poor families... This spring, a war "epidemic" without gunpowder started in Jiaxing.
In this battle against the "epidemic", more than 20 Taiwanese companies have voluntarily donated money and materials to help fight the epidemic.
In fact, since 2020, Taiwan-funded enterprises, which must not only focus on enterprise epidemic prevention, actively stabilize production, but also take the initiative to care for the society, have contributed a lot to Jiaxing's fight against the "epidemic", and the cumulative donation has reached more than 13 million yuan.
The warmth and affection from the other side of the strait is not only reflected in the amount of donations and materials, but also in the retrograde figures who go forward bravely.
Contacting and arranging nucleic acid testing for the elderly with disabilities in the community, taking the initiative to go to the isolation point to carry out epidemic prevention work, volunteering to join the nucleic acid testing and screening work in Jiaxing... This is the true portrayal of "one family on both sides of the strait, Jiahe is prosperous".
From the development of characteristic industrial clusters, to vigorous development with the help of a warm business environment, and then to nurturing local development, Taiwan-funded enterprises in Jiaxing, as the lubricant of cross-strait relations, promote the integrated development of cross-strait economies.
