14. Fuzhou New Area

The Fuzhou New Area in East China's Fujian province was officially launched in August 2015. It covers an area of 800 square km.

The establishment of the area aimed to deepen cooperation and exchanges between Fujian and Taiwan, and to promote eco-civilization and eco-social development in Fujian.

The Fuzhou New Area is expected to become an area for deepening cross-strait exchanges, a door for further opening up, and a base of modern industries in Southeast China as well as a pilot zone for reform and innovation.
