The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council refutes the Taiwan media report of "withdrawal of local Taiwan businessmen from Kunshan, Jiangsu Province," which is seriously inconsistent with the facts. On 17 May, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on the morning of 17 May. Spokesman Ma Xiaoguang answered reporters' questions on recent hot issues between the two sides of the strait. Reporter: recently, some media on the island reported that 1/3 of local Taiwan businessmen in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province have been evacuated, and most of the remaining factory capacity has also been transferred. Is it true? Ma Xiaoguang: it is understood that the relevant reports are seriously inconsistent with the facts. Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, is one of the areas where Taiwan businessmen invest most intensively in the mainland of the motherland. For a long time, the vast number of Taiwan enterprises and businessmen have ploughed Suzhou and rooted in Suzhou, which has become an important part of the city and a unique development force in Suzhou. In the first quarter of 2023, 98 new Taiwan-funded enterprises were established in Suzhou, with an actual utilization of Taiwan capital of US $612 million. Compared with the same period last year, the number of enterprises increased by 6.5%, the amount of Taiwan capital actually utilized increased by 96%, and 9 enterprises with a total investment of more than US $10 million. Contracted Taiwan capital is 640 million US dollars, 38 capital increase projects, the capital increase amount is 246 million US dollars. In 2022, the capital increase projects of Taiwan-funded enterprises such as Youda Optoelectronics, Jinglong Technology and Qunqi Technology have been launched one after another, further demonstrating the firm confidence and determination of Taiwan-funded enterprises to continue to be optimistic about Suzhou and take root in Suzhou. As of March 2023, Suzhou has approved more than 13000 Taiwan-funded enterprises, with actual Taiwan capital exceeding 36 billion US dollars. As for the news reported by Taiwan media that Taiwan's Liuhe Group had withdrawn from Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, the relevant person in charge of the subsidiary Liufeng Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. directly denied it. The actual situation is that in 2021, Liufeng Machinery has launched a new plant construction plan in Kunshan, and the project is also listed as a major industrial project in Kunshan in 2022. News can be falsified, and numbers are the most talkative. It is hoped that some media on the island will not violate their professional ethics, let alone be the "mouthpiece" of the Green Camp.
