Jiaxing is striving to optimize its investment structure and is receiving more inward capital in the high-tech service industry. Data from the city's commerce department showed that in the first half of 2018, it introduced 187 new foreign projects with investment of $3.51 billion, up 6.9 percent year-on-year.

To create a better environment for foreign businesses, Jiaxing is actively pushing forward the building of an international support system, which may include international communities, international schools, hospitals for foreign expats and a group of service institutes for legal, financial and human resources affairs.
