Since the opening up of its economy in 1979, China has followed an export-led growth policy and transformed the country into a 'Factory of the World' with its labour-intensive manufacturing. Since then, many factories were set up and concentrated mostly in the south-eastern coastal provinces. Although this policy resulted in consistently high annual growth and creation rates, negative side effects such as environmental, economic and social problems became increasingly evident. To address these challenges, in 2012, China's policymakers changed the policy direction to focus more on domestic consumption-led growth. One strategy to achieve the goal was to expand its manufacturing base into the hinterland. To attract investors to move to the inner regions, the government developed gigantic industrial parks and basic infrastructure to accommodate the new policy. This case depicts Xi Yong Micro-electronics Industrial Park in Chongqing, the largest municipality in Western China. It discusses the implementation of the government's development strategy at Xi Yong and presents an opportunity to examine whether Xi Yong and other similar industrial parks would provide the solution that the government is looking for.
