There was an amazing fireworks display last night over Jinji Lake. It seems that the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, Wong Kan Seng is visiting Suzhou this week. The Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Qishan is also in town for the ceremonies. I heard as well that one of the visiting dignataries from Singapore is a founding father of the original collaboration between Singapore and China that formed the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP). SIP is the new city adjacent to the old town of Suzhou. We live in SIP and our new Caterpillar factory is located in SIP.
This year is the 15th anniversary of the founding of SIP. I can only imagine the Singaporeans' amazement if they is visiting this town for the first time since the project was started. As I understand it, when SIP was launched 15 years ago, this whole area was farmland and swamps. Now it is a huge new city with two big lakes, hundreds of high rises, and thousands of factories. It is an incredible example of economic development and urban planning.
