China's Special Economic Zones and National Industrial Parks
Door Openers to Economic Reform
When China introduced its bold "Open Door" economic reforms in 1978, it was a third-world country. Unsure what to expect from economic reform, Chinese authorities decided to test the water by creating Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Economic and Technological Development Zones (ETDZs), which served in effect as oases of reform and modernity. China today is an economic powerhouse, and SEZs and ETDZs deserve much of the credit for its economic revitalization.
U.S. Property Market Review-
Cyclically Resilient
The nation's bulk distribution property leasing markets are in the early stages of a cyclical slowdown. Weakness from the sluggish U.S. economy has begun to spill over into the nation's leasing markets for distribution facilities. Counterbalancing this risk, to some degree, are the continuing sharp cutbacks in new construction.
