Shihezi,Pearl of Gebi Desert,the Largest Cotton Textile City in China's West——Song Yunfeng,Director General of Economy and Trade Committee of Shihezi City

The following information is taken from the speaker who intended to give his speech at the Sixth China International Cotton Textile Conference (2009) in Xinjiang. But the meeting was called off on short notice. There should have been a good opportunity for local governments at various levels to introduce Xinjiang and its different cities for investment-inviting purpose. Shihezi is one of those beautiful cities and has become the largest cotton textile town in China's west. To keep his original speech intact, the editor did not make any redaction even though some sentences sound out of place now. But the information inside is true to life and might be interesting to business peers and investors.
