Six months ago, on July 19, the Ministry of Commerce announced that Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Chongqing were finally selected as the international consumption center cities. It is no surprise that Chongqing emerged from more than 20 candidates. In 2020, Chongqing's total retail sales of consumer goods reached 1.178 trillion yuan, ranking third in China after Shanghai and Beijing. Building an international consumption center city is also part of the 14th Five-Year Plan and 2035 Vision Proposal for Chongqing. The Chongqing Liangjiang International Business Center will bring more advantages to the district and the city and further enhance Chongqing's business competitiveness.
