Aren't these all "Special" zones?

There's not much good to say about Communism, but when they put their mind and money on something.... there's no argument or differing opinions.

It just gets done.

I seem to remember Shenzhen was just fishing villages.

I know Shenzhen is.

Shanghai HAS a Free Trade Zone, but it's only part.

No, your info is woefully outdated.

Special economic zones don’t mean anything anymore. They meant something until the early 90s. Now entire China runs on state capitalism.
