Chengdu, the capital city of Southwest China's Sichuan province, is ramping up 
efforts to bolster development of the trade in services sector to push forward 
high-quality development in the region.

So far, Chengdu has established five national export bases focusing on digital 
services, cultural products, IP services, human resources services and language 
services to inject vitality into the trade in services industry.

In the first half of 2022, the import and export volume of trade in services in 
Chengdu increased 24.97 percent year-on-year. The export volume of trade in 
services of the city increased 47.04 percent year-on-year. Its digital products 
import and export volume increased 20 percent from the previous year and the 
import and export volume of IP royalties increased 101.37 percent.

Local officials said the establishment of the five platforms played an 
irreplaceable role in promoting the development of Chengdu's trade in services 
sector.

The Ministry of Commerce further certified 40 national professional service 
export bases in March to support the export of four types of services. They are 
human resources, geographical information, language and IP services.

The Chengdu Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, also known as CDHT, was 
recognized as a professional IP service export base. The Chengdu Human 
Resources Service Industrial Park and Sichuan Lan-Bridge Information Technology 
was recognized as a professional human resources service export base and a 
professional language service export base, respectively.

Officials from the Chengdu commerce bureau said the development of professional 
service export bases will help the trade in services industry of the city to 
develop toward larger-scale and more intensive operations.

Companies with strong competitiveness, market influence and innovation capacity 
will benefit from those platforms. They will also bolster the overall 
performance and strength of the trade in services industry of Chengdu.

Supported by the Chengdu government, trade in service enterprises are attaching 
greater attention to new products development and innovation to maintain 
sustainable development.

In May this year, the Chengdu Human Resources Service Industrial Park invited 
13 human resources service providers including Risfond and OPT to form the 
nonofficial alliance named the West Headhunting Valley Alliance. The alliance 
will support Chengdu in constructing the China West Headhunting Valley, which 
will feature 100 influential human resources service providers and 30,000 
professionals in the CDHT.
