City's Two Sessions Day 1: words on the street

I have been in Shanghai for five years. As a British Chinese, Shanghai's development is quite impressive. Compared with some cities in Europe, Shanghai develops three times faster. I think the biggest advantage of the Shanghai business environment is the speed of its development. 

Peter Jeng, vice president of the UK Chinese Business Association

Shanghai is a very innovative city and we want to see our adventure here. It is safer and the traffic here is not too crowded. 

Sassy Renand, CEO of Extrahouse

Shanghai's business environment is improving indeed. But there is no best, so we should always find ways to be better. If the Shanghai government wants to further improve its business environment, it could be more open. For example, let more foreign companies in the financial industry do business in Shanghai. And the Shanghai government should improve its awareness of services and think about providing more convenience for companies.

You Wei Bin, an interpreter

For the French, there are a lot of opportunities here since everyday lots of international trade happens between the two countries. Shanghai is an international city, and It is a good place of entrance in China. 

Michel de Certeau, CEO of adb transaction

Shanghai is more beautiful than Beijing. And Shanghai's subway is very clean. If we want to start a business in China, Shanghai is definitely our first stop.
