Nanjing Special: 'Nanjing-style' development pays off

Located at the center of China's Yangtze River Delta zone and renowned as major economic engines in eastern China, Nanjing has played a remarkable role as one of China's fastest-growing commercial centers in recent years.

Since China's adoption of its reform and opening-up policies in 1978, the city, the provincial capital of Jiangsu province, has established a wide-ranging, all-encompassing development program that embodies a unique "Nanjing-style".

The city has become one of the most successful centers for attracting foreign investment. It has established stable trading relationships with more than 200 countries and regions across the world, achieving an annual trade volume in excess of $40 billion.
