　　今年1月1日中国-东盟自由贸易区成立,位于中国与东盟合作前沿的广西北部湾经济区迎来了新一轮投资热潮。众多国内外企业瞄准东盟商机,到南宁、钦州、北海等地的产业园区投资办厂,抢滩布局北部湾。

In the morning of April 17th, there was a rumble of mechanical sound in a row of standard factories in the 180 square kilometers of China ASEAN Economic Development Zone.

In the workshop of Hui Ying (footwear) Co., Ltd., the workers are nervously driving their shoes and sticking their heels.

Mr. Li, who works in a shoe factory, is a Wuming native. He used to work in Guangdong, and he could only go back to town one or two times a year, unable to take care of children and the elderly.

Xiaoli found many large enterprises investing in factories at home, providing thousands of jobs to the local community.

Hui Ying (Guan Quan) shoe industry is one of the shoe industry projects of Taiwan Maas group. It moved from Guangdong Dongguan to Nanning in 2008.

"Beibu Gulf is the forefront of docking ASEAN. At present, labor costs are low, land and tax policies are favorable, and if we do not rush to get seats early, we will miss many opportunities."

Chen Zhongguang, director of the administrative department of Taiwan Maas group, said that the labor costs of Guangdong and Dongguan are increasing, giving the enterprises a lot of pressure. Many enterprises consider pferring the factories to the central and western regions.

After nearly a year's investigation, the max group finally chose Guangxi, "because here is only ASEAN, business opportunities are unlimited."

Such as the mace Footwear Group aims at ASEAN business opportunities, the first few companies to invest in the Beibu Gulf are very few.

It is an example of Shenzhen based Electronics Co., Ltd., which is headquartered in Shenzhen and has expanded its capacity to invest in the electronics industry park.

Wu Huilong, deputy general manager of Jing Guang Electronics Limited company, said that although the industrial chain of the upstream and downstream industries in the Beibu Bay Industrial Park is not perfect at present, the development of enterprises should not only look at the immediate effects, but also have a long-term foothold in order to seize the opportunity first.

"Guangxi Beibu Gulf area has advanced docks and preferential investment policies, so long as the supporting facilities and logistics develop, there is no limit to the prospect."

Wang Naixue, deputy director of the Qinzhou bonded port management committee, said that they now receive more than 3 batches of enterprises wishing to enter the bonded port every day.

At present, 12 shipping and logistics companies such as China shipping have been stationed in the bonded port area of Qinzhou, involving 12 projects, such as automobile display and trading center, international wine exhibition and trading center, Tsinghua Tongfang and so on.

With the advance of many enterprises, a number of industrial parks have risen in the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi.

According to the data provided by the the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region industry and Information Commission, the gross domestic product of textile and agricultural products processing and bio pharmaceuticals in the China ASEAN Economic Development Zone reached 4 billion 340 million yuan in 2009. The output value of Beihai Electronic Industrial Park reached 3 billion 770 million yuan, and the output value of Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park was 6 billion 750 million yuan. The output value of phosphorus chemical, metallurgical and other industries in Fangchenggang southwest Port Industrial Park was 7 billion 30 million yuan.

Chen Wu, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Party committee and the people's Government of the autonomous region, said that Guangxi will make use of 3 years or so to build a batch of distinctive and powerful industrial parks. In order to fully implement the strategy of major industrial development and make the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone industry bigger and stronger, Guangxi has planned to build 29 key industrial parks, among which the autonomous region mainly supports 11.

We should give priority to the management system, land, capital, policies and investment promotion, and promote the development of industrial parks in Beibu Gulf Economic Zone with ultra conventional measures.
