Shenzhen is a newly-developed city in Guangdong Province of China. Prior to the reform and opening-up policy, Shenzhen was no more than a fishing village of more than 30 thousand inhabitants. In the 1980s, the Chinese government established the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone as the experimental plot to implement the socialist market economy. At present, Shenzhen has a population of over 10 million and great changes have taken place in the whole city.

By 2014, the per-capita GDP of Shenzhen amounted to 25 thousand dollars, which is equivalent to the level of some developed countries. When it comes to the comprehensive economic strength, Shenzhen ranks among the top-class cities in China. Due to its unique status, both domestic and foreign entrepreneurs also see it as an ideal place to start up their businesses.
