????多年以來，業務經營的一個常見特點是：美國公司逃到中國，希望能夠在低成本勞動力的支持下削減成本。

????但與這個趨勢相反，中國的一家紙漿和造紙公司山東泉林紙業有限公司（Shandong Tranlin Paper Co.,）上周宣布，計劃投資20億美元，在弗吉尼亞州設立它在美國的第一家現代化制造廠。這個項目預計將在2020年創造2,000個新工作崗位。

????泉林紙業擁有年產40萬噸精制漿、70萬噸機制紙、40萬噸有機肥、24億食品醫藥包裝盒的生產能力，現已開發出一種使用農作物秸稈造紙的創新技術，例如那些收割后通常留在農田里的玉米和谷物副產品。

????弗吉尼亞州農林部長托德?海默爾說：“我們正在努力實現經濟增長和多樣化，通過向中國市場出口、同時為這里的企業界引入中國投資，借此與我們最大的農林業貿易伙伴中國繼續建立密切的關系十分關鍵。”

????“通過將通常留在農田里的農作物廢料創造出非常有利可圖的新市場，泉林為弗吉尼亞州玉米和小粒谷物種植主帶來了巨大的機遇，”海默爾補充說。“根據這個項目涉及的相關農業供應鏈商機來計算，一旦這個項目完工，滿負荷運轉，僅為這個地區農場主產生的經濟效益一項就超過5,000萬美元。”

????這個項目將建在弗吉尼亞州切斯特菲爾德縣詹姆士河工業中心（James River Industrial Center）一處占地850英畝（約合5160畝）的園區內。

????雖然按照弗吉尼亞的標準來看，這已經是一項大投資，但其實之前已經有先例。其他中國公司之前已經進入美國，其中就包括中國設備制造商三一（Sany）。這家公司最近在佐治亞州設立了辦公室，準備開拓美國市場。（財富中文網）

????It’s been a regular feature of business pages for years: An American company flees to China, hoping to cut cost with the help of cheap labor.

????But in a reversal of this trend, a Chinese pulp and paper company, Shandong Tranlin Paper Co., announced this week that it plans to invest $2 billion to establish its first American-based advanced manufacturing operation in Virginia. The project is projected to create 2,000 new jobs by 2020.

????Tranlin, which has an annual productivity of 400,000 tons of refined pulp, 700,000 tons of machine-made paper, 400,000 tons of organic fertilizers, and 2.4 billion food and medical packaging boxes, has developed an innovative technology to make paper, using agricultural residuals, such as corn and grain byproducts normally left in farm fields after harvest.

????“As we work to grow and diversify our economy, it is vital that we continue to build relationships with our largest agricultural and forestry trade partner, China, through both exports into Chinese markets and Chinese investments in business ventures here,” said Todd Haymore, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry.

????“Tranlin represents a tremendous opportunity for Virginia’s corn and small grain producers by creating a lucrative new market for agricultural residuals that are typically left in the field,” Haymore added. “Based on the agricultural supply chain opportunities associated with the project, the economic benefit to farmers in this region alone could exceed $50 million per year once the project is complete and operating at full capacity.”

????The project will be based at an 850-acre campus located at the James River Industrial Center in Chesterfield County, Va.

????Though big by Virginia standards, the move is not unprecedented. Other Chinese companies have come to the United States, among the Chinese equipment manufacturer Sany, which recently opened sleek offices in Georgia as it tries to tap into the American market.
