SHENZHEN,
CHINA
Adjacent to Hong Kong sit the ports
of Shenzhen. At a time when China
is emerging as a manufacturing
superpower, Shenzhen’s role as
the gateway to Guangdong, one
of the world’s most important and
densest manufacturing regions, is
indisputable. The rapid growth of
Shenzhen into one of the top five
container ports globally, clearly
demonstrates the achievements of
China’s reform and the successful
cooperation between Hong Kong
and China.
