A: Tibet will seize the opportunity offered by western development to make five
changes to its policies concerning opening up to domestic and overseas markets.
Its aim is to make full use of resources, market, and human resources to accelerate
Tibet's social and economic development. The five changes are:
Changing the
relationship between Tibet and the interior from one of merely receiving aid to
that of reciprocal cooperation. Improving its investment environment with the
help of the whole nation, and integrating Tibet's advantages in resources with
the capital, talent, technology and information advantages of the interior, to
establish a group of profit-making enterprises by cooperation and joint management.
Changing single-way opening to two-way opening. While expanding opening to the
interior, Tibet should also make use of the extensive market in the interior and
join the country's united market. By so doing, Tibet may constantly expand sales
of its products and further develop its characteristic industries, and actively
take part in investment activities in the interior.
Changing from unitary
opening to overall opening. Instead of opening its commodity and labor markets
only, Tibet will also open its capital and technological markets. Meanwhile, Tibet
will open wider in the fields of science, technology, education and culture.
Besides offering favorable policies, Tibet will also pay great attention to optimizing
its investment environment as a whole, and will continue to accelerate infrastructure
construction in areas such as transportation, communications and energy.
While
emphasizing its opening up to the domestic market, Tibet will also enhance its
opening up to the international market. It will make full use of its geo-advantages
and actively carry out trade with neighboring countries, giving full play to the
utilization of foreign investment. |
