地方外经企业是在我国计划经济体制下，作为所在地区对外经济技术合作的窗口，带动对外承包工程、劳务合作与海外投资等业务而建立和发展起来的。尽管在90年代地方外经企业转变了经营方式，并在市场经济中摸爬滚打了一番，但规模小、资金短缺、经营业务单一、实业“空洞化”、 Under the planned economy of our country, local foreign economy enterprises have been established and developed as a window of economic and technological cooperation with foreign countries in their respective regions and brought along foreign contracted projects, labor cooperation and overseas investment. Although local foreign economic enterprises changed their mode of operation in the 1990s and fought a lot in the market economy, they were small-scale, lack of funds, single business operation and “hollowing out” of the industry.
