Nantong generated more than $31.65 billion in foreign trade in 2014, ranking it fourth in Jiangsu province.

The amount was a 6.2 percent growth from a year earlier and was higher than the nation's average.

The boom in trade was helped by the impressive performance of local businesses.

At last year's Canton Fair, a biannual trade event in Guangdong province, more than 13,000 companies from Nantong displayed their products and technologies. Their combined exhibition area was the largest of the Jiangsu delegation.

  • The NETDA Free Trade Zone got the original go-ahead, on Jan 3, 2013, from the State Council, for a 5.29-sq-km area, in two parts.
