Delegates note lure of western investment

China's latest round of western development presents even greater opportunities to overseas Chinese entrepreneurs, delegates said at the ongoing World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention in Chengdu.

Lim Beng Lin, chief of the technology sector at the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said he is impressed with Chengdu's clean environment and developed infrastructure, attractions that will be crucial in investor decisions.

"Twelve years after the western development program was implemented these areas have seen great, positive changes," Lin said.
