Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone

Established in 2010, the Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone (Chinese: 泉州台商投资区) is situated in the eastern region of Quanzhou city. It is situated across the sea from the newly established administrative headquarters of Quanzhou and serves as a state-level Taiwanese investment zone, a state-level economic and technical development zone, a state-level high-tech industrial development zone, and a state-level demonstration zone for independent innovation.[1]

The area, encompassing approximately 219 square kilometers (including marine, riverine, and intertidal zones), falls under the jurisdiction of Luoyang Township, Dongyuan Township, Zhangban Township, and Baiqi Hui Township. Of this, roughly 200 square kilometers are terrestrial, with a resident population of 338,000, as per the seventh national population census conducted in 2020. With a resident population of 338,000, according to the seventh national census conducted in 2020, it is located in the "Eye of Quanzhou," Baiqi Lake, and has established the Maritime Silk Road Art Park and the Maritime Silk Road Ecological Park.[2][3]

History

In 2005, the Quanzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the Quanzhou Municipal People's Government submitted a report to the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the Fujian Provincial People's Government to establish a Taiwanese Investment Zone. The Fujian Provincial CCP Committee and Provincial Government subsequently reported to the State Council through two official letters in January 2005 and March 2006. In March 2006, the State Council authorized the Ministry of Commerce to oversee the matter in collaboration with relevant departments.[4] The Ministry of Commerce dispatched a research team to Quanzhou for investigations in April, September 2007, and March 2008, respectively. In May 2009, the State Council formally issued several opinions to support Fujian Province in expediting the development of the West Coast Economic Zone of the Taiwan Strait, explicitly advocating for the "timely promotion of the expansion of the Xiamen and Fuzhou Taiwan Investment Zones and the establishment of a new Taiwan Investment Zone in Quanzhou Luoxiu."[5][6]

On March 8, 2010, the Fujian Provincial People's Government officially sanctioned the formation of the Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone Working Committee as a delegated entity of the People's Government of Fujian Province, thereby granting the city a portion of administrative authority and facilitating the early and pilot execution of special policies assigned to the CCP Quanzhou Municipal Committee and the Quanzhou Municipal People's Government.[7] On March 25, 2010, the CCP Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone Working Committee were formally constituted, making it the sixth Taiwanese Investment Zone developed in Fujian Province.[8][9]

On May 20, 2010, the "Quanzhou Taiwan Investment Zone Master Plan (2010-2030)" received preliminary approval and subsequently passed expert technical evaluation on July 15, 2012.[10][11] The State Council officially sanctioned the establishment of the Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone, thereby implementing the existing policies of state-level economic and technological development zones.[12][13]

Geography

The Taiwanese Investment Zone and the new administrative center of Quanzhou City are situated approximately 5 kilometers from the Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway (S11) entrance. The area is served by the G15 Shenyang–Haikou Expressway, G1502 Quanzhou Ring Expressway Nanhui Branch, and China National Highway 324, located south of the Xiutu Port, Shihu Port, and Bay Daitong.[14][15]

Additionally, the Quanzhou Ring Expressway and Fuzhou–Xiamen high-speed railway are accessible via Quanzhoudong Railway Station, indicating a continuous improvement in transportation infrastructure.[16][17]
