Lu Zhong Hua stated that Tongzhou Bay, located in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta region, is an important part of the Shanghai metropolitan area, a new open gateway for the Chinese economy, and the intersection of domestic and international dual circulation. It is in a period of vigorous and sustained rapid development. With the deepening of its internationalization strategy, Tongzhou Bay is striving to become a gathering place for British companies in China, contributing to the promotion of Sino-British friendly cooperation and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.
