Abstract:

This papers analyses the general development trend at the port economic zones in China and the motive forces underlying such development. Essential features of a port economy are described, highlighting the linkage between port facilities and special economic and technological development zones where preferential policies are offered. The tie-up between port facilities and export-oriented economic facilities has spurred the transformation of the port zone from the single function of transportation to the comprehensive multi-functions of commodity flow, foreign trade, industrial processing, storage, insurance, finance and services.
