Beibu Gulf Economic Zone
China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have established the world's largest free trade area of developing countries. The Beibu Gulf Economic Zone in Southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has been underlined as a critical area for regional economic cooperation thanks to its geographic proximity to ASEAN countries. It consists of six cities, Nanning, Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang, Chongzuo and Yulin, with a landmass of 42,500 square kilometers and a population of more than 12 million. Guangxi is located in the core of Beibu Gulf. The State-approved zone will be a hub with ASEAN economies.
