A special economic zone (SEZ) is an area in which the business and trade laws are different from the rest of the country. SEZs are located within a country's national borders,and their aims include increasing trade balance,employment,increased investment,job creation and effective administration. To encourage businesses to set up in the zone,financial policies are introduced. These policies typically encompass investing,taxation,trading,quotas,customs and labour regulations. Additionally,companies may be offered tax holidays,where upon establishing themselves in a zone,they are granted a period of lower taxation.

In justifying opening up and the series of economic reforms that ensued in China,Deng Xiaoping referred to Karl Marx and his theories,which predicted that nations need to undergo urbanization and a stage of capitalism for a natural socialist transition. One of the most renowned reforms under Deng was establishing four "special economic zones" along the Southeastern coast of China,with Shenzhen,Shantou,and Zhuhai located in Guangdong province and Xiamen located in Fujian province. The four aforementioned special economic zones were all established from 1980 to 1981. As of 2024,there have been 3 additional special economic zones. In 1988,Hainan became the fifth "SEZ". In 1990,Pudong district in Shanghai became the sixth "SEZ". In 2009,Binhai district in Tianjin became the seventh "SEZ". Special economic zones (SEZs) in mainland China are granted more free market-oriented economic policies and flexible governmental measures by the government of China,compared to the planned economy elsewhere.

In China,a megalopolis is a designation by the government to promote the development of a group of cities through transportation and communication links.
National champions are corporations which are technically private businesses but due to governmental policy are ceded a dominant position in a national economy. In this system,these large organizations are expected not only to seek profit but also to "advance the interests of the nation";the government sets policies which favor these organizations. The policy is practiced by many governments,in some sectors more than others,but by giving an unfair advantage against market competition,the policy promotes economic nationalism domestically and global pre-eminence abroad contrary to the free market. The policy also deters or prevents venture capitalism.
Urban Planning in China is currently characterized by a top-down approach,high density urban development and extensive urbanization. China's urban planning philosophies and practices have undergone multiple transitions due to governance and economic structure changes throughout the nation's extensive history. The founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 marks the beginning of three recent historical stages of urban planning philosophies and practice that represent a divergence from traditional Chinese urban planning morphologies are broadly categorized as socialist,hybrid and global cities.
