“Go-West Movement” fuels Alliance of CHINAnUSA.com and Xi’an City Government
Western China Seeking Trade and Investment with Overseas

Fremont, California, May 9, 2001 - Xi’an city government and CHINAnUSA.com have joined forces to attract trade and investment in Xi’an, spanning to the entire Western China.

According to the mutual agreement, Xi’an city government will utilize CHINAnUSA.com’s technological and business expertise to achieve four major goals: promoting Xi’an city’s global awareness, setting up e-commerce infrastructures for Xi-an-based companies, bringing export-oriented companies to the North America market, and nurturing professionals in the IT and E-commerce industries.

As the pillar in the partnership, CHINAnUSA.com has packaged customized e-commerce and marketing solutions to address Xi’an city’s full range of needs. Once Xi’an city English web site goes live, it will greatly increase the city’s international awareness by providing an up-to-date archive in full dimension. The city government web site will also play as an efficient communication venue linking citizens, government experts, and other government entities. Another focus of the e-commerce solution falls on establishing e-commerce platforms and training programs. Given the fact that Xi’an city has scores of local companies in energy, engineering, textile, and defense industries looking into the North America market, CHINAnUSA.com is planning to promote those companies and their products in targeted trade shows as the first step in the marketing solutions. There are also peer-to-peer marketing communications campaigns to maximize the results of marketing and sales niches penetration.

The success of this partnership will encourage more cooperation between provinces in the Western China and US businesses. CHINAnUSA.com’s anticipated success will convince its current US customers to follow suit. As China has laid out a 10-year plan for “New Western China,” leveling the West China as developed as the East, the results require serious improvements of infrastructures in water conservancy, energy, telecommunications, urban facilities, and environmental protection. China’s “Go-West Movement” opens up a large scope of trade and cooperation opportunities from overseas.
