The vision of the DPPPM-WC is to establish a closely connected, mutually beneficial platform for business integrity, communication, and exchange between China and Malaysia, promoting the prosperity and development of both countries' economies.
Liu would actively promote various cooperation projects of the chamber and contribute to friendship exchanges and cooperation between China and Malaysia.
Wuxi, known to be one of the birthplaces of modern industrialisation in China, aims to become the Silicon Valley of chiplets or 'Chiplet Valley'.
According to news reports last year, the city has pledged to spend US$14 million to subsidise companies that develop chiplets in the region, and it has formed the Wuxi Institute of Interconnect Technology to focus research efforts on chiplets.
The chamber currently has over 40 members and counting, with dual-core leaders from Malaysia and Wuxi, China.
