Jinqiao area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone — Shanghai Daily

IN four years Cheap Kris Letang Shirt , the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone has become a hub for foreign innovators, such as Adobe, which established its Shanghai branch in the area dubbed as a test ground for China’s key economic and financial reforms.


The American software giant, headquartered in San Jose, California Cheap Conor Sheary Shirt , has moved its Shanghai office to the free trade zone as a stronghold of its east China business.


The zone, which covers about 121 square kilometers, comprises the Lujiazui financial hub, the Jianqiao manufacturing zone, the Zhangjiang high-tech base and the three bonded areas of Waigaoqiao Cheap Tom Kuhnhackl Shirt , Yangshan and Pudong International Airport.


Adobe’s senior managing director for China Yew Hwee Ng said the zone was an ideal base for Adobe to bring the latest technology and digital experience to Chinese users as soon as possible.

China expects Shanghai to make the zone world class, with liberalized trade and investment, no hidden or opaque rules, fair and efficient supervision, as well as welcoming business environment by 2020.

The next phase in the FTZ development will further relax regulations on commercial transactions and foreign investment, including a shortening of the negative list for foreign investment and the implementation of best international practice for finance, foreign exchange, investment, and entry and exit processes.


Now in its fourth year Cheap Olli Maatta Shirt , the Shanghai FTZ is moving from its initial experimental phase into more nitty-gritty areas of economic and financial reforms.

Since the beginning of the year, cross border payment within the FTZ has reached 673.58 billion yuan (US$102.21 billion) to further promote the international use of the yuan, according to the Shanghai Development and Reform Commission.
