摘 要: | The first Chinese duty- free zone was established 20 years ago, and the first export processing zone has now been operating for 10 years. As icons of special customs supervision zones in China, duty-free zones and export processing zones have contributed a lot to China's foreign trade. In 2009, the aggregate value of foreign trade in Chinese special customs supervision zones rose to USD 279.43billion, accounting for 12.66 percent of the country's annual foreign trade. These special zones brought about a trade surplus of USD 8.75 billion and created 1.21 million new job opportunities in that year.
