China: Yang Rudai on Cooperation With Southeast Asia
</hdr>
<body>
<p>By Xiao Longlian, "Sichuan Secretary Yan Rudai on Cooperation
Between Southwest China and Southeast Asia" [Beijing Zhongguo
Xinwen She in Chinese, 1209 GMT 7 Aug 92.]
</p>
<p> Meeting with overseas Chinese media reporters, Yang Rudai,
member of the CPC Central Political Bureau and secretary of the
Sichuan Provincial CPC Committee, said: During the process of
China's all-directional openness, opening the southern gate,
making southwest China an important point of openness toward
Southeast Asia and South Asia, using alliances to promote
openness and using openness to promote development have become
a consensus and will become action. The two-way cooperation
between Sichuan and the southwestern region and Southeast Asia
will heat up very soon.
</p>
<p> Meeting here yesterday afternoon with reporters from Shih-
Chieh Jih-Pao (World Daily) and Shang Pao (Business Daily) of
the Philippines, Ao-Hua Shih-Pao (Australian Overseas Chinese
Time) of Australia, Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore, Hsing-Hsien
Jih-Pao (Thailand Daily) and Chung-Hua Jih-Pao (China Dialy) of
Thailand, Yang Rudai disclosed to them the latest message about
the conference on the alliance of the five provinces and two
cities to go toward Southeast Asia, which ended late last month
in Kunming.
</p>
<p> He said: The conference has reached a consensus and set
objectives for allied openness, development, and going toward
Southeast Asia. It also formulated unified policies. The crucial
thing for the opening up of the south-western region is the
alliance of the provinces and the regions, the core is policies,
and the conditions are communications. Alliance has now become
a consensus. The new all-directional policy of the central
authorities offers a guarantee for alliance of the provinces and
regions in the southwest. They are stepping up the improvement
of their communications conditions, and the construction of a
number of key communications projects for air and sea
transportation, railroads and highways is being speeded up. The
domestic and international situations are extremely conducive
to the alliance of the southwestern provinces and regions to go
toward Southeast Asia. And the time is ripe for the southwestern
region to go toward Southeast Asia as an alliance, like it
served as the southern Silk Road in the past.
</p>
<p> Yang Rudai maintained: Sichuan and Guizhou do not border on
any other countries or the sea, but possess strong industrial,
agricultural, scientific, and technological capabilities; while
Yunnan does not border the sea but borders other countries, and
Guangxi borders the sea and other countries. If they are
mutually allied, supplement one another's advantages, share one
another's interests, and shoulder common risks, their
cooperation in opening up will be very promising. In recent
years, Sichuan's import and export trade with Southeast Asian
countries has gradually increased, and dozens of enterprises
from Southeast Asian countries have come to invest in Sichuan.
They have directly invested and cooperated in such industries
as electronics, Chinese medicine, fodder, and textiles.
</p>
<p> At the invitation of the China Overseas Exchange Association
and the Sichian Provincial Overseas Chinese Office, the
reporters of the seven Chinese-language papers of the four
Asia-Pacific regions ended their coverage in Sichian and Tibet
and will leave Chengdu and head home via Beijing.
