History
The Chinese government designated the southern Shenzhen as a key site for development and policy trials at the very outset of the Reform Era that launched by Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970’s.
On 26 August 1980 the National People’s Congress (NPC) approved the “Guangdong Province Special Economic Zone Regulations” (广东省经济特区条例), marking the official establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
