The strategy was implemented in 1996 as a
procedure to organise and consolidate the co-operative agreements previously
entered into by the Chamber with cities and provinces in The strategy continues to evolve and has
changed since it was first implemented.
For this introduction, we list major “milestones” in its evolution: 1995 ACCCI Trade and
Investment Strategies with China: The Network of Co-operative Agreements with
Cities and Provinces in China. This is sometimes referred to as the “Blue
Booklet” and describes the nature of the Chamber’s co-operative
agreements. It is reproduced here with
the original text. 1996 ACCCI Trade and Investment
Strategies with China: Implementation of the Key Cities Strategy in China. This is sometimes referred to as the “Green
Booklet” and describes the program devised for the cities with which the
Chamber initiated co-operative agreements.
It also is reported here with original text. Refer to the more recent documents for
maps and details about the cities. 2001 The list of “Key Cities” was extended to
include a target number of over 200.
The targeted list appears in Key Cities Index. 2002 Recent developments in the strategy are
