With respect to port investment and operations, every step that Xiangyu Group take has been going harmoniously with the rhythm of the opening-up policy of China. The Group is one of the first among foreign trading enterprises in China which were courageous enough to make investment on the port sector. After that, the Group took an even braver step to try for opening up terminal operations after China's entry into the WTO. It was with such vision, vigor and strong back-up resources that Xiangyu Group built up a platform for regional shipping cargo integration and distribution. Viewed on the worldwide basis, this platform is an essential part constituting the regional transshipment hub in the West Pacific Region; in China, it is playing a significant role as part of the shipping cargo integration and distribution center radiating as far as Southwestern Fujian and some neighboring provinces including Guangdong and Jiangxi; with respect to cross-strait cargo flow, it was honored the pride to be the earliest and most direct communication platform available.
