Sometimes a saga, but success for startups in Xi'an

The view of the Xi'an "pioneering park", which is located within the Xi'an High-tech Zone.
Entrepreneurs are faced with a host of decisions in a new startup.
Not necessarily, according to John Xuz and Peter Zhou, two electronics engineers heading small but competitive computer chip companies in the ancient city of Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, a city best known around the world for the terracotta soldiers that guard the first emperor's underground mausoleum built more than 2,200 years ago.
Neither is a native of the city, but both have their companies headquartered in the Xi'an Hi-Tech Zone, an investment park that hosts around 18,000 companies, according to its administrative committee.
Most of the companies there are small and privately owned like the ones operated by Xuz and Zhou.
International giants like Samsung and US-headquartered semiconductor company Micron also have, or will soon have, major operations there.
Large domestic corporations are also moving in, most noticeably Huawei and ZTE, two telecom equipment makers based on the southern coast of China.
Xuz is a native of Wuxi, a lakeside city in the Yangtze River Delta, and a longtime resident of Canada.
He is CEO of Xi'an Tianxin Electronic Science Technology Co.
Xuz's company makes chips for automobile control systems and various vehicle equipment.
"Plus," he said half-jokingly, "the food here is not too bad."
He exchanged the fish and fresh vegetables common in his hometown for noodles served in spicy and sour soup and the fruit he gets locally.
"Of course, (the Xi'an high-tech zone) is also supportive, along with the accommodation from the zone's startup park," he said, pointing to his new and spacious workshop.
The startup park is a facility built on orders from the Ministry of Science and Technology to help patent owners as well as scientists and engineers launch their own ventures. They are located in several key university towns.
