4． Tianjin is one of the important economic centers in North China
and a modern harbor metropolis. In recent years, with support from the central government of China, Tianjin has been thriving in an all-around way. Its GDP has kept increasing by double digits for 11 consecutive years. As it has become economically powerful, the living standards of its people have risen continuously, and Tianjin
is listed among the rapid development regions and areas throughout the country. After the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Tianjin has decided to develop its economy by Three Stages. At present, the leading bodies of Tianjin’s government are taking five great strategic measures, with focus given to the development of the Haihe Economy, the Oceanic Economy, Advantageous Industries, the District and County Economies, and Medium and Small Enterprises, including both Non-Governmental and Private Economies. They have set off a new surge of great momentum to create a new development situation. In the near future, Tianjin will present its own image to the world with its door further opened and its vigor renewed.
