Chapman is rich, Shantou can't afford to develop, because Chaoshan geography is like a well. This kind of fish lives in wells and its survival is limited. As soon as the fish jump out of the well, leave Shantou, enter Daxi Port and metropolis, and cross the ocean, they can produce jewelry! In this way, Chaoshan people are all outside, not Chaoshan people, but Chaoshan people, so from ancient times to the present, the outside has changed a lot, and Shantou can only change slightly, just like ants walking!

Shantou, as the first batch of special economic zones in China, is a national policy, a land and water transportation hub and a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese. However, the city's economy is at the bottom of the first four special economic zones, and it has never been able to produce a report card that matches its identity.

As a frontier city of reform and opening up, Shantou's import and export business should have been its dominant industry, but in 20 15, Shantou's import and export business declined seriously. According to official data, the total import and export volume of Shantou in 20 15 was 9.285 billion US dollars, which was 2.9% lower than that in 20 14. ?

From each group of data, it can be concluded that Shantou's economy is almost at the bottom of these special zones. Nowadays, when people talk about special economic zones, they think more about Shenzhen and Xiamen. Some people don't even know that Shantou is actually a special economic zone.
