The city has invested in 1,157 overseas projects. The Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone in Cambodia, for example, has attracted 170 enterprises and institutions from China and other countries, and created nearly 30,000 jobs.

Wuxi currently has 7,200 foreign-invested enterprises and 11,329 local enterprises are engaged in trading with other countries and regions.

To better cater to the demands of the increasing number of expats, Wuxi will further improve infrastructure facilities over the following years, noted Ye.

For example, major public places and service institutions in the city will be equipped with signs and voice service systems in different languages, outstanding international medical institutions will be brought in, and support will be provided for the establishment of international schools and international communities.
