In recent years, Changsha has taken multiple measures to promote “going global” with high-quality performance. Last year, the city issued a three-year (2021-2023) action plan to advance "going global" with high-quality performance from the aspects of providing good platform services, focusing on key countries and regions, and facilitating the global distribution of competitive production capacity.

Meanwhile, Changsha took the initiative to optimize the “Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Special Zone” (Changsha) of the “Hunan Enterprises Going Global+” Comprehensive Service Platform. Columns for the free trade zone and economic and trade cooperation with Africa have been built and the English website has been launched simultaneously, to facilitate Hunan enterprises to “go global”.
