Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (abbreviated as TEDA and transliterated as Taida) was established on December 6th, 1984 upon the approval of the State Council as one of China’s earliest development zones. During an inspection tour in August, 1986, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, the Chief Architect of the country’s Reform and Opening-up, wrote down such a prophetic blessing, “Development zones are full of promise.” More than three decades later, TEDA has grown into a national-level development zone with various sub-zones boasting the biggest economic scale, high-level alignment with global standards, and the best comprehensive investment environment in China.
