The most extreme example of China's transformation from a Communist to a Socialist-market economy. Shenzhen was among the first Special Economic Zones in China and has enjoyed the fastest economic growth during the last 25 years of change. At times GDP growth has surpassed 40% annually, and what was a tiny fishing village on the border of Hong Kong in 1970 is now a buzzing metropolis of over 4 million people with the highest average income in China.
