With a population of 10 million, Tianjin has built a strong economy around the Tianjin Port, TEDA, and a strong consumer economy. Located 75 miles to the east of Beijing, Tianjin has a long history as a trading port for the north, and like Shanghai this has lead to a strong commercial infrastructure and business savvy population

As can seen in the figure above, Tianjin’s macroeconomic indicators all show year on year increases, and for many manufacturers this is leading them to invest in multiple manufacturing facilities to service not only the export market but also the domestic market.
For Tianjin, IT, automobile, chemical, metallurgy, biotechnology/ pharmaceutical, new energy and environmental protection have all become areas that are considered “pillar”. However many of the large investments recently have been technology related, specifically consumer electronics, as the local governments look to move away from commodity products to good that require more technology.
