Pingtan Area in Fujian FTZ promotes cross-strait cooperation, serves 'One Belt, One Road' strategy
The CPC Central Committee and the State Council, China's cabinet, have always attached great importance to the development and opening up of Pingtan. In his last year's inspection tour of the Pingtan free trade area, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that Pingtan is not only the key for Fujian-Taiwan collaboration but also a window of China's opening-up.
Lin Jiangling, vice director of the management committee of the Pingtan Comprehensive Pilot Zone, told sino-us.com that the Pingtan free trade area is committed to "providing policies and measures that can promote liberalization of investment, trade and personnel exchanges between Fujian province and Taiwan".【More】
Why China is pushing 'One Belt, One Road' initiative?
China's initiative of jointly building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, commonly referred to as "One Belt, One Road", has gained the broad endorsement of the international community. But some Western media and scholars have slammed the initiative as China's push for regional dominance.

Lying on China's southeastern coast of Fujian province, Quanzhou is dubbed as the "capital of East Asian culture". The city, which covers an area of 11,015 square kilometers, has a GDP of over 570 billion yuan, beating Fuzhou and Xiamen's combined economy to top the province for 16 straight years.
In 1991, a UN maritime Silk Road delegation of over 100 experts and diplomats from 30 countries and regions visited Quanzhou and affirmed that it was one of the starting points of ancient maritime Silk Road, underscoring its historical status in international research. The large number of cultural relics preserved in Quanzhou attested to the harbor's role in connecting the East and West...【More】

Tangmo village is spellbinding black-white arcadia
After a two-hour bumpy ride, I was mesmerized with the sight of the black-tiled and white-walled dwellings in Tangmo village, which is now located in Huizhou district, Huangshan city, central China's Anhui province.
The ancient village was originally built in the Tang dynasty and rose to its florescence in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The residences of the ancient village are typical Hui-style buildings, which feature black tiles and white walls, are surrounded by high courtyard walls shaped like horse heads for fireproofing, and decorated with exquisite carvings made of wood, brick and stone....【More】
