Guangxi sees a bigger role in Belt, Road

Region's chairman says economic zone links nations and businesses

As China's only provincial region with land and sea links with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has promoted an open economy to build a key gateway for the Belt and Road Initiative, according to a senior official.

Chen Wu, chairman of the regional government, said Guangxi will integrate with the initiative by introducing foreign investment and encouraging domestic companies to go abroad.
