Description:... In an effort to speed up the industrialization and modernization process, China has developed special economic zones (SEZs) in which foreign and domestic entrepreneurs are offered investment incentives for setting up modern manufacturing plants. The SEZs have attracted worldwide attention because they are the product of an open economic policy operating in a socialist country, and they are here thoroughly analyzed for their economic potential, with special emphasis on Shenzhen, the most advanced of the zones.
