Xi'an: Samsung projects settled to open the road to internationalization

The Samsung factory has not been built yet, but the impact it has brought is within reach. From the Samsung site to the green areas of the high-tech zone, and the Cui Garden, where Koreans live, there are restaurants and shops with Chinese and Korean characters.

"There are very few Koreans in Xi'an. It is good to have two or three activities a year. Maybe people will get up next year and organize one or two activities every month." Zheng Qiu has lived in Xi'an for seven years and served as Xi'an Korea. The president of the Chamber of Commerce and the arrival of the Samsung project have enriched the number and strength of the Chamber of Commerce. Next year he is preparing to further expand the scale of the Chamber of Commerce.

Zheng Qiu, who has worked and lived in Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu for 12 years, finally settled in Xi'an. This made Zheng Qiuqi quite emotional. I know that there were more Koreans in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty before 1400. There were 4,000 people at that time. Envoys, monks, businessmen, and international students came to this cosmopolitan city.

Xi'an proposed to build an international metropolis, and the arrival of the Samsung project has helped this process to some extent. According to many local experts, Samsung and its supporting projects will not only stretch Xi'an's industrial chain, improve economic extroversion, but also bring a large number of Koreans to change the demographic structure of the city. The influx of Korean companies and populations, along with changes in Xi'an's service industry and urban functions.

Accelerate industrial internationalization

At the Samsung project site, the main plant has already taken shape, and Samsung's 10nm flash memory chips will be produced here after February next year. At the scene, a person in charge of Du surname told reporters that according to the project schedule, the overall construction of the factory will be completed by the end of the year, and trial production will be carried out in February next year, and will be officially put into operation in the first half of the year. This is the largest foreign single investment project since the reform and opening up, which was settled in Xi'an last year, causing a sensation at home and abroad.

The Samsung factory has not been built yet, but the impact it has brought is within reach. From the Samsung site to the green areas of the high-tech zone, and the Cui Garden, where Koreans live, there are restaurants and shops with Chinese and Korean characters. This is only a superficial phenomenon, and the deep-seated influence is reflected in Xi'an's industrial structure and urban pattern.

Xi'an's economic extroversion is not high. Last year, the total volume of import and export trade reached 13 billion US dollars. The actual direct use of foreign investment is less than 2.5 billion US dollars, which is only a quarter of Chongqing's. This situation is related to Xi'an's industrial structure. Since the first five-year plan, Xi'an's industry has been dominated by heavy industry, while the leading industrial structure is state-owned and military enterprises.

Wang Shengxue, member of the Shaanxi Provincial Advisory Committee and director of the Urban Research Institute of Chang'an University, told reporters that 17 of the 156 major industrial projects in the “First Five-Year Plan” were located in Xi'an, which laid the industrial foundation of Xi'an, especially heavy industry and military industry. The foundation also laid the urban pattern of Xi'an.

However, under the market economy conditions after the reform and opening up process, such an industrial structure appears to be lacking in vitality, and the development of Xi'an has gradually slowed down.

"If Xi'an wants to build an international metropolis, the products must be competitive. Now the foreign trade exports are just like this, and talk about international metropolises." Zeng Zhaoning, a member of the Shaanxi Provincial Advisory Committee and a member of the Xi'an Municipal Government, said.

Zeng Zhaoning, who participated in the drafting of the 12th Five-Year Industrial Development Plan of Xi'an, said that the former industrial structure of Xi'an is the manufacturing industry, and the main body of the manufacturing industry is equipment manufacturing. The next step is to continue to upgrade the development of strategic emerging industries with a good industrial base. The arrival of Samsung not only extends the industrial chain, but also brings more than one hundred supporting enterprises to form industrial clusters. This has brought about a major change in Xi'an's industrial structure and industrial layout, and improved the regional competitiveness of Xi'an.

As far as Samsung's factory in Xi'an is concerned, most of the supporting companies are Korean companies, as well as Japanese and American companies. The arrival of Samsung has not only strengthened the strength of Xi'an's electronic information industry, but also enhanced its extroversion and more participation in the international industrial division of labor. Although the electronic information industry in Xi'an used to have an advantage, it is not ranked in the country, let alone international competitiveness.

In addition to the industrial impact, such an industrial cluster is located in the southwestern part of the city, making the position of this plot in the urban pattern of Xi'an soar. The Samsung Project Park is located at the junction of Chang'an District and Hu County, and Huxian County is an area with development potential in western Xi'an. The Xi'an High-tech Zone is located in the southwest corner of the city. To the south, due to the connection between the Chang'an District and the Qinling Mountains, the land available for development is already scarce, and there is a lot of space to the west.

Caotang Town, Huxian County, 17 kilometers away from the Samsung Project Park, is the location of the Caotang Science and Technology Industrial Base jointly established by Huxian County and Xi'an High-tech Zone. It is the node for the expansion of the high-tech zone to the west. The West Tai Road Expressway connects the Samsung Park, the High-tech Zone and the main city, and you can reach the city in less than half an hour. In the process of Xi'an Lama City framework, as the industry gathers in the southwest, it will also become the main part of urbanization development.

Samsung's Korean effect

With the Samsung project landing hundreds of supporting companies and tens of thousands of Koreans, and this demonstration effect is attracting more Korean companies to invest in Xi'an.

Among Samsung's more than 100 supporting companies, Korean companies account for the majority, and there are more than 30 companies with more than 100 employees. In addition to these supporting companies, there are more Korean companies that are in contact with Xi'an and hope to invest here, the most striking of which is the fourth factory project of Hyundai Motor Group.

At the end of June this year, South Korean President Park Geun-hye visited China and made a special trip to Xi'an. The number of economic ambassadors was 71, including Zheng Mengjiu, president of Hyundai-Kia Motors Group, and Benmao, president of LG Group.

Zheng Qiuyu told reporters that large companies such as SK and LG are also considering investment insurance. After the Samsung project settled in Xi'an and Park Geun-hye's visit to Xi'an, more Koreans have learned about Xi'an, and more people want to invest. Previously, Koreans learned more about the coastal cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingdao, and Dalian. The city that frequented Korea during the Tang Dynasty seemed to have been forgotten.

In fact, Xi'an has a deep relationship with South Korea. The Xingjiao Temple built by the Tang Dynasty was the place where the Prince of Silla was a monk and practiced. The founder of the Huayanzong of South Korea, Master Yi Xiang, also came to Chang'an to study Buddhist culture. Even in modern times, there are traces of activities of the Korean anti-sunshine resurrection in Xi'an. The headquarters was once located in Duqu Town, Chengnan.

The arrival of Samsung once again linked the two, and with the arrival of more Korean companies, Koreans also flooded into Xi'an. Nowadays, from the green areas of the high-tech zone, Yi Cuiyuan to the Mingdemen and other communities near the Shaanxi Normal University, and even to the Qujiang New District in the east, they are absorbing a large number of Koreans living. After the Samsung plant is put into production next year, the number of Koreans in Xi'an will increase from more than 3,000 to more than 10,000. If Hyundai can be put into production in Xi'an and its dozens of supporting enterprises, the number of Korean nationals will increase dramatically.

This change in demographic structure not only makes Xi'an more international, but also puts new demands on urban functions and service levels. After so many Koreans came in, there was no big problem in the solution of food, clothing and housing, but there were some problems in education and medical care.

At present, there is no Korean nationality school in Xi'an. For ordinary Koreans, the international schools here are too expensive, and ordinary schools sometimes have problems in applying for admission. In addition, there are problems with Koreans' medical treatment. Although Xi'an's medical resources and conditions are very good, it is a problem because of language barriers.

However, Xi'an is also solving the problems in these internationalization processes. Last year, the Korean White Hospital and the High-tech Hospital strategically cooperated to provide Korean medical services. As for the education issue, Zheng Qiu said that if the number of expatriates reaches 10,000 and the number of students is more than 200, they can apply to the Korean government to establish a Korean nationality school in Xi'an. The teacher is Korean and the course is the same as that of South Korea.

"Although many Koreans are coming now, there are more singles. With the establishment of the diaspora school, family and children may come over." Zheng Qiu said that his child was going to school in Xi'an, and his family was also here.
