The economic zone on the west coast of the Taiwan Straits is a regional economic complex, mainly for Fujian Province and its neighboring areas. This explains its features and advantages, including an economic cluster effect. Over the past 30 years since reform and opening up in 1978, Fujian has witnessed remarkable socio-economic achievements, gradual improvement in infrastructure, and notable advancement in its people's living standards. The zone is expected to become the pilot region to advance scientific development as well as exchange and cooperation with people across the Taiwan Straits.
