Expansion plans to reinvigorate coastal zone

Fujian is embracing an unprecedented development opportunity, by building an economic zone on the western coast of the Taiwan Straits.

Since the State Council issued a document named "Supporting Fujian to promote construction of the Economic Zone on the Western Coast of the Taiwan Straits" in May 2009, the coastal province has sped up the pace of economic development and infrastructure construction.

The zone covers nine cities in Fujian and also areas in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces.
