URUMQI, China (Xinhua) — Rich in resources but remote, Xinjiang in China’s far west has become a magnet for investors for its unique position on the Silk Road.

In a workshop of the Amer International Group in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, workers are busy adjusting and packing laptops.

Recently, Amer sent the first batch of 2,000 laptops it produced for the German company TrekStor to the European market via China-Europe freight trains.

Headquartered in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, Amer invested 20 billion yuan (around $2.8 billion) to build an industrial park in Xinjiang in 2018. So far, the industrial park has produced and exported around 1.5 million mobile phones, according to Wang Wenyin, the founder and chairman of Amer International Group.

“We saw Xinjiang’s geographical advantages, so we established the industrial park and cooperated with our counterparts in South and Central Asia in the fields of smartphones and IT high-end manufacturing,” Wang said.
