What they say

"It is not the Shanghai FTZ's mission to stand out from its peers, but rather to strive to excel with its own merits."

Shen Xiaoming, director of the management committee at the Shanghai FTZ

"In the first place, the Shanghai FTZ should realize a high degree of openness to foreign investment by having a global vision, being more open and with predictable policies, an international investment system, a highly reliable government, as well as provide more benefits to employees of domestic companies and create a better commercial environment."
