economy - Economic zones learns how to become competitive

This afternoon I will have some interesting discussion about the future of the special economic zones that started China's economic opening up at the beginning of the 1980s. One of them - with the turnover equal to the Belgium economy - wants some advice and help to improve their performance towards the foreign investors.
Last year I had a similar talk, but it did not lead anywhere, now they are coming back, because they hardly get any foreign investments in. Under the stricter regulations and the WTO-accession, the economic zones do not differ that much from each other, apart from their location. So, they will have to think about creative ways to get their message across.
Just see what happens.
