Xia Xiaoliang, deputy mayor of Kunshan, and officials from the administration committee of the Kunshan Huaqiao Economic Development Zone attended the opening ceremony of the Huaqiao International E-Commerce Industrial Park on Aug 6.

Five companies, including Alipay, a third-party online payment platform, and the Jiangsu Home Information and Technology Co Ltd, have located in the park and signed project contracts. An intelligent home experience center was also opened on Aug 6.

 In 2009, the Huaqiao International E-Commerce Industrial Park, the first high-level e-commerce industrial park in China, worked together with the Alibaba Group, a leading e-commerce company, to set up the Alibaba Electronic Commerce Mansion. The mansion serves as a multi-functional platform of business, office, trade and display for Alibaba’s 80 million e-businessmen. Integration efforts have helped Alibaba create a large-scale economic network. To date, more than 80 enterprises have settled in the mansion.
