Qinghai Special: Going 'green' through development strategy

As Qinghai becomes increasingly recognized as an investment destination, the annual Qinghai Green Development and Investment Trade Fair has become an important venue for the inland province to showcase its development and business opportunities.

In 2000 when China began to implement its Western Development Strategy, the a conference for private enterprises participating in the development of northwest China was held in the provincial capital of Xining - the predecessor of an event that was later named the Qinghai Green Development and Investment Trade Fair.

The province's authorities have made full use of the event to step up its development and economic transformation.
