CHONGQING -- A smart technology exhibition held in China's heartland metropolis Chongqing last week saw the biggest names in the industry all appear on stage, highlighting the surge in high-tech investment pouring into the nation's inland region.
"Dear Secretary Chen Min'er, we have rented out a 2,000-sq.-meter booth, one of the largest ever, to showcase our latest technology," said Tencent CEO Pony Ma Huateng on Aug. 23, the opening day of the first-ever Smart China Expo.
