Maiden fuel-free global circumnavigation shows ABB can power the world without consuming the earth
The 2016 G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting is convened in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province, on July 23-24. Delegates will discuss the world's current economic trends and issues and share their views and insights about economic growth prospects.
As the birthplace of jiaozi, the world's earliest form of paper currency which appeared in the city around the 10th century, Chengdu has a prominent place in China's financial history.
Chengdu is boosting innovative development through cooperation with the world's leading industrial parks and construction of Sino-foreign cooperative industrial parks.
Chengdu, a center of science and technology in western China, is planning to build itself into a world-class innovation and entrepreneurship center.
The robust growth of a host of emerging industries is transforming Sichuan into a strong and competitive provincial economy in China.
As the starting point of the South Silk Road which predates the ancient Silk Road, Chengdu used to be an important trade hub connecting China to South and Central Asia.
Sichuan's important position in China's national strategies along with its unique advantages gives it an advantage over other regions looking to become a core economic engine in West China.
Chengdu has played a leading role in western China's new round of opening up and is becoming increasingly engaged in global industrial cooperation and exchanges.
Although far from the political power hubs of ancient China, there is no doubt that the southwestern province of Sichuan was a cradle of Chinese civilization.
Sanxingdui is the area where the province's oldest ancient cultural relics have been discovered and was pinpointed as a national-level key cultural relics area in 1988. Archaeologists discovered that the relics there could be divided into four phases. The earliest dates back to the late phase of the Neolithic Period 5,000 years ago.
