1980年,国务院批准深圳、珠海、汕头、厦门4个城市建立经济特区。自此,中国经济发展掀开了崭新的一页。经济特区是对外开放的窗口。改革开放之初,在缺少对外经济交往经验、国内法律体系不健全的形势下,设立经济特区为国内的进一步改革和开放、扩大对外经济交流起到了极为重要的作用。在近30的发展历程中,深圳等经济特区在引进外资和设备、吸收国外先进管理经验等方面,成效卓著。 In 1980, the State Council approved the establishment of special economic zones in four cities: Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen. Since then, a new chapter has been opened in China’s economic development. The special economic zone is a window open to the outside world. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, with the lack of experience in foreign economic exchanges and the inadequate domestic legal system, the establishment of a special economic zone has played an extremely important role in further domestic reform and opening up and the expansion of foreign economic cooperation. In the nearly 30 years of development, Shenzhen and other special economic zones have achieved outstanding results in attracting foreign investment and equipment and absorbing advanced foreign management experience.
