Wenzhou Business Opportunity

Wenzhou (温州) is a coastal city in China, located in Zhejiang Province (浙江省), the region between Shanghai and Xiamen / Hong Kong. The Perak State is currently working very close with Wenzhou for more intensive business relationship. There had been commercial expos being held in Ipoh & Wenzhou to introduce each other's local products and more investments are potentially kicking off at both cities. After Guangzhou (广州), Wenzhou is now another Chinese city that develop closely with Ipoh especially in trading & commercial. I find a company in Osbourne Street established mainly for this purpose. We will probably find more in near future, including the possible occupation of previous Super Kinta Department Store floor space by traders from Wenzhou.
