Industrial zone reaches greater economic heights

The city of Nantong, on China's coast in Jiangsu province, is on its way to greater prosperity, the local government has reported.

This is thanks, in no small part, to the Nantong Economic and Technological Development Zone. In 2010, the region had a GDP of 26 billion yuan, or almost four times that under the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2001-2005).

Also in 2010, the zone had revenues of 6.43 billion yuan, or about five times revenues at the end of 2005.
