Fuzhou Economic & Technical Development Zone (FETDZ) was established in January, 1985 with the approval of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. It is one of the first state-class economic-technological development areas in the country, located in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province. It is extended to the outlet of Min River and the total area up to 23 square kilometers for industrial development. Also it is the only integration of Export Processing Zone, Free Trade zone, Taiwanese investing zone, and high-tech Park in China.
