Huazhou, a county-level city in Maoming, has stepped up efforts to attract foreign businesses and investment in recent years, and has made several key achievements.

In the first three quarters of 2020, Huazhou introduced 23 new projects that have an investment value of more than 10 million yuan ($1.55 million), with the total contracted investment reaching 2.27 billion yuan. Among these 23, there are seven industrial projects that together have a total contracted investment of 660 million yuan.

The city has been improving its business environment by advancing the reform of its examination and approval system and simplifying business creation procedures.

The timescale for project examination and approval in Huazhou has been reduced to 45 working days, while the time needed for starting a business has been shortened to 4.5 working days.

Investment promotion teams have been formed to take part in all kinds of investment activities in and beyond Maoming, and to carry out various investment promotion activities, centralized contract signing, and centralized project groundbreaking ceremonies.

In addition, Huazhou has been strengthening publicity of investment promotion. It has made full use of new media platforms like Weibo, WeChat, and the internet, as well as traditional media platforms such as television, newspapers, and advertising boards, to create a strong investment atmosphere.
