Third Singapore-China joint project to be based in Chongqing: President Xi Jinping, Singapore News & Top Stories - The Straits Times: "Singapore and China will sign an agreement on Saturday (Nov 7) to kickstart the project, which is a highlight of Mr Xi's two-day state visit to Singapore.
The other two cities in contention for the project in western China were Chengdu and Xi'an.
A city of 30 million, Chongqing is one of four municipalities under the direct control of China's central government.
In proposals seen earlier this year, the south-western city has set aside an area of 20 sq km for the collaboration, with the Longsheng district of about 10 sq km designated the core area.
The initiatives planned for the project include an integrated logistics centre comprising an aviation and port logistics hub; a China-Singapore modern services demonstration zone where Singapore firms can provide legal and accounting services among others; and a smart city featuring a special administrative zone for cloud computing and big data sectors."
