There are more than 3,000 ceramic enterprises registered in Fengxi Industry and Commerce, and there are nearly 5,000 enterprises in the whole region.
In 2006, the output value of Fengxi ceramics industry was120 billion yuan, and its exports accounted for more than 60% of the city's ceramics exports.
Fengxi is the industrial leader of Chaozhou, and its industrial output value is more than twice that of Anbu, the county seat. Now it is facing the impact of export tax rebate, rising labor costs and rising material prices, which will be a hurdle for the development of Fengxi.
Many smart fengxi people choose to invest abroad, mainly because of the current bureaucratic darkness in Chaozhou. A typical example is an entrepreneur in Fengxi who invests in Heyuan. More than 2000 people came out last year.
