All Roads Lead to China:

ProLogis, a company I have written about on several occasions, has just released a very interesting report entitled China’s Special Economic Zones and National Industrial Parks —
Door Openers to Economic Reform that I would recommend anyone interested in understanding the background behind China’s EDTZ and SEZs.

This report is really strong on the history of the zones and their contribution to the China story, and the story is an interesting one.

Note – the report does not address the recent policy changes (VAT, environment, labor, and other) and their impact going forward, so if interested in these impacts you can review:
