Qingdao Tax-free Zone, Hotbed for Overseas InvestmentBy taking full advantage of its preferential tax-free policy and its unique location as a port, the Qingdao Tax-free Zone has become a hotbed for overseas investment.Statistics show that the zone had by the end of last year ratified some 700 overseas-funded projects with total contracted overseas investment of 860 million U.S. dollars. Quite a few of the world's 500 largest corporations like Lucent have been attracted to the zone, while an electric remote control project funded by Taiwan businesses with a total investment of 380 million US dollars represents the latest example. Meanwhile, the zone also becomes a hotbed for domestic producers like Haier, Hisense and so on.
