Liaoning province held a business promotion conference targeting overseas Chinese business people in its capital city of Shenyang on March 21.

Liaoning is an open province that has economic and trade relations with over 200 countries, said Ying Zhongyuan, director of Liaoning Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

As of 2017, the number of foreign enterprises that invest in Liaoning exceeded 60,000; and in line with Liaoning’s “Go Out” Strategy, around 2,000 Liaoning enterprises have started businesses in over 100 countries and regions.
