Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in China were originally established on the east coast of the country by the Chinese Central Government in the late 1970s. The goal of these zones was to increase the interaction between foreign and Chinese enterprises, to boost exports and the opening of China to the world. With the same aim of economic stimulation, the policy of SEZs expanded to Western China.

Although the Special Economic Zones have the same purpose, each of them has key distinctive features, special economic advantages, and more flexible government measures. It is important for EU SMEs to grasp the theory behind the policy of SEZs and how to make the most out of this trial way of entering the Chinese market.

In this webinar, Maxime Van ‘t Klooster will share practical information on the benefits of SEZs, analyse the case studies of Hainan and Shenzhen as SEZs and provide practical advice on how to do business in China.
