Chengdu: vital for the western China's economy

Chengdu is now working on setting itself up as a growth pole for the western economy, with its own advantages globally, and in China, and in the western region.

Over the next 5-10 years, the city intends to deal with some complex issues in China’s development, such as: correcting the development imbalance between coastal parts in the east, and those in the central and western parts; make better use of the tendency of people and production to converge on regional; and make Chengdu a core western economic area with greater concentration and greater driving force.
