Southeast Asia is located in the throat area of the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean.

Since China's reform and opening up, the Chinese nation has achieved a blessing to a strong The great leap of China has entered a new era. With the rapid economic development of the southeast coastal cities, Southeast Asian countries have established a deep cooperative relationship with China, realizing a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. Many Southeast Asian countries have also begun to use the industrial park model to try to drive their own industrial development. When Chinese companies invest in Southeast Asian countries, they are also faced with the choice of whether to enter the park.

China-Vietnam cooperation and Vietnam industrial park are dazzling

The current relationship between China and Vietnam is getting better and better. The two countries are connected by mountains and rivers, have similar cultures, and have similar customs and habits. The people have a history of thousands of years of exchanges and contacts. However, for Chinese companies that come here to invest, unfamiliar with local policies and procedures have become their biggest obstacles. Entering a well-established and well-managed industrial park is a good choice for Chinese companies that are new to Southeast Asian countries to invest. Nguyen Van Khan, general manager of Vietnam Bao Min Industrial Zone Infrastructure Investment Co., Ltd. stated: “In the industrial park, the infrastructure is relatively good. We can provide water, electricity, and sewage treatment equipment. China’s water supply, power supply system and its own operation? Faced with the blooming industrial parks, Chinese companies investing in Southeast Asian countries have to think about how to choose the right industrial parks to settle in. China’s hydropower technology is well-known worldwide, with This stepping stone, China Power Construction assisted Vietnam's Youting 500MW photovoltaic project. The construction of this project marked the official commissioning of the largest photovoltaic power station in Southeast Asia. The oil fueled photovoltaic project is composed of three parts: phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3. The total installed capacity 500MW, it is the world's largest semi-immersed photovoltaic project. As a landmark project in the cooperation between Thailand and Vietnam in the field of new energy, the oil-cooled photovoltaic project has been highly valued by the governments of the two countries from the beginning. China Power Construction passed international bidding The EPC+F cooperation model has been favored by the owners, and the East China Institute is responsible for the implementation of the project. In a short 11-month construction period, the China Power Construction team completed the exploration and promotion of innovative financing models to overcome the highest immersion area With a water depth of 2.4 meters, the deployment and organization of more than 2,000 staff have been completed, and the procurement, transportation and construction of 20,000 tons of supports, 1.5 million battery panels, and more than 200,000 pile foundations have been completed with high quality and high efficiency.

Chinese companies enter Indonesia

In addition to entering Vietnam's industrial parks, more and more companies hope to build their own factories outside the parks, and as their own industrial chain gradually improves, new industrial parks have been formed. In Indonesia, the Green Earth Industrial Center Industrial Park covers an area of 1,600 hectares. As early as the end of the 1990s, it was invested and constructed by Indonesian local overseas Chinese and Japanese companies. Most of the earliest settled in the park were auto parts, home appliances and daily necessities from Japan. Business, because the Indonesian market is considered a top priority by Japan. A state-owned enterprise from Guangxi chose to buy land in the Green Soil Industrial Center and built a park in the park. The industrial positioning of the small park is correspondingly set to related industries such as machinery manufacturing, building materials, electronic information, warehousing and logistics services, and new materials. The park-in-park model not only allows Chinese investors to enjoy the benefits and conveniences of the existing Indonesian industrial zone, but also reduces investment risks. The principle of land regulation in Indonesia is land private ownership, and the main feature is strong variability. Companies entering the large park need to purchase land at one time. In the small park, companies in the cooperation area can enter the park to provide diversified land purchase and use methods. The model of companies establishing parks overseas is also a new trend for Chinese companies to invest overseas in recent years. Liang Xiaohui, deputy chief economist of the China Textile Information Center, said, "This model from factory to industrial park is a very stable model. It has grown up based on real and urgent needs, so it does not need to consider the issue of investment. Its own growth is the process of his business expansion." Most ASEAN countries hope to use the industrial park, a development model with Chinese characteristics, as the main tool to promote economic development and attract investment. And whether Chinese investors who come to these countries choose to invest in industrial parks, what kind of parks they choose to invest in, or build their own industrial parks outside of the parks, companies bring their own capital and seek the most suitable for themselves. The choice of development needs.
