The service month is designed to help the city address problems that foreign invested companies face in China and in Hangzhou.

Li ling, the director of Hangzhou municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau said that “Hangzhou has always insisted that environment comes first. It is critical important to create a safe environment. Challenged by the economic crisis, it is crucial for government authorities to provide better service for the foreign invested companies to survive the crisis.”
