Shenzhen history

The one-time fishing village of Shenzhen, singled-out by late Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping (鄧小平), is a so-called one of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in China originally established in 1978 in competition with Hong Kong, then a British colony.

Shenzhen, formerly known as "Bao'an County", was promoted to prefecture level, directly governed by the Guangdong province in November 1979. In May 1980, Shenzhen was formally nominated as a 'special economic zone,'the first one of its kind in China. It was given the right of provincial-level economic administration in November 1988.
