Pudong is fueling further development based on a strategy of “four highs” — high standard of reform and opening-up, high-quality development, high-quality life and a high-quality team of cadres. The district has been at the forefront of China’s new round of opening-up, which requires it to take the global environment, the domestic situation and the city’s development into consideration. The global economic landscape is being reshaped with China playing a pivotal role. Shanghai is also accelerating efforts to become an international center for economy, finance, trade, shipping, besides becoming a hub for technology and innovation.
