Shenzhen Set to Enjoy Greater Autonomy in New Pilot Reforms

The General Office of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council recently announced an implementation plan for comprehensive pilot reforms in Shenzhen to build the city into a pilot demonstration zone for socialism with Chinese characteristics (2020-2025). All localities and departments are to earnestly implement this plan in the light of reality. Greater autonomy will be granted to Shenzhen in reforms in important areas and key links, and support will be given to the city in advancing higher-level reform and opening-up from higher starting points and towards higher goals. Efforts will also be made to promote a higher level of Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation, enhance the city’s function as the core engine in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and build Shenzhen into a model city of a great modern socialist country.
