Overview

Located on an island across the strait from Taiwan, Xaimen was one of the first Special Economic Zones established by the central government. Xiamen boasts one of the most vibrant economies in southeast China and has been honored by the World Bank as one of China’s six “Golden cities” (a measure of investment climate, harmoniousness, governance and other measures). Xiamen is widely regarded as one of the cleanest cities in China and is home to the country’s 7th largest port and 4th largest Airport. The United States is Xiamen’s second largest trading partner (after Taiwan) and supplies 11% of the city’s imports.

Xiamen's Leading Industry

Xiamen’s key manufacturing industries are electronics and IT, machinery, and chemicals. In the machinery industry, Xiamen excels at production of engineering machinery and power distribution equipment. Other important products produced in Xiamen include pharmaceuticals, textiles, foodstuffs, building materials and tungsten products. Looking toward the future, the city plans to hasten development of three service industries: logistics, aviation maintenance and tourism.
