Is anyone else reminded of the "charter city" they were going to build in Honduras? (Paul Romer had the idea, inspired by Shenzhen, of having third world countries set aside land to be under the jurisdiction of first world countries with more stable legal regimes. The plan being that this would attract international businesses and then bootstrap the rest of the countries development). In Honduras they ended up cancelling the idea, to the cheers of many in the Western press who thought it had echoes of colonialism. I doubt this Chinese city will get the same negative backlash. |
