Exam case study Foreign direct investment in China: A case study from the Yangtze Delta Basin The metropolis of Shanghai dominates the rich, fertile and low-lying plain south of the Yangtze River in China. Within a 150 kilometre radius are also located the major urban centres of Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Ningbo. Suzhou is approximately one hour by road from Shanghai and is one of the oldest cities in the Yangtze Delta Basin, with an identifiable history stretching back 2500 years. There is a traditional Chinese saying: ‘There’s paradise in heaven, but Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth’—a reference to Suzhou’s beautiful gardens and canals. In the 1980s Deng Xiaoping’s ‘open door policy’ was adopted in China and provided preferential treatment for coastal regions to develop special economic zones. These themed reforms nurtured economic change and were in line with Deng’s wishes, enabling ‘some people to get rich’ (Isaak 2000). To persuade foreign direct investment to come to Suzhou, policies for the effective leadership of development were enacted. For example, in 1998 L Government, the Jurong Township Corporation (JTC), was appointed to manage the establishment process for what was initially called the Singapore Industrial Park (SIP). Located between Shanghai and Suzhou, SIP became a flagship project for the new generation of ETDZs. The initial investment and control was 65 per cent Singaporean and 35 per cent Chinese, and a specially set up authority managed the ETDZ. It had its own customs house, and was notable for its superior infrastructure and strict environmental controls. However, the success of the Singaporean model became awkward for the Chinese and the local Suzhou municipality. They witnessed the success of the SIP, but had limited share in the wealth being generated. This prompted a flurry of activity for the emergence of another ETDZ on the other side of Suzhou, which created direct competition with the SIP. The Suzhou new district The Suzhou New District (SND) was thus built by the local municipality. SND was first established in 1992, and was considered a ‘high-tech’ ETDZ with a science and technology theme. It promoted a ‘garden-like’ atmosphere with ‘liveable surroundings’. The infrastructure in SND was developed through establishing a banking sector and a mediumrise expatriate living area. The growth of this ETDZ was credited to the development of its infrastructure services. SND established a theme park and invested in recruiting, employment and training industries. The land quality and position of SND was superior to that of the SIP and it was located right beside the city centre of Suzhou, whereas the SIP was, at this time, somewhat more remote. Despite fierce initial rivalry, both ETDZs are now successfully established and are attracting substantial FDI; the local TVEs are booming and local private business is encouraged. Considerations for FDI in the ETDZs While Jiangsu province now boasts a number of development zones, the Suzhou New District and the Suzhou Industrial Park are the main economic and technological development zones in this region. Specific regulations vary within each zone, which provide incentives for foreign direct investment. Important considerations for the ETDZs are the infrastructure (such as water plants, sewage and gas, power supply and ISDN telecommunications) and a preferential tax policy offering favourable terms to foreign investment companies. Furthermore, housing for both expatriates and workers, along with sporting, cultural, dining and shopping precincts, enhances the quality of life for residents living in the region. For example, SND provides incentives for housing local workers and SIP has a waste management plan. The administrative authorities within the zones play an integral role in the operations of the ETDZs and in the activities of enterprises within those zones. To help the facilitation of business by making it easier to obtain the permits and licences required for registration as a foreign enterprise in China, the SIP and SND both promote their ‘one-stop set-up shops’ for foreign enterprises. Promotion portraying the convenience of the residential and recreation facilities is clearly visible. When faced with the depth of regulation, language and cultural differences, and bureaucratic delays in obtaining approvals and registrations, facilities within the ETDZs assist foreign enterprises to start up their operations in China. There are also facilities to conduct major recruitment fairs on behalf of enterprises. Each year these fairs attract graduates from all over China. As part of the process, administration checks, qualification and reference checks, along with additional training, are provided, which streamlines employment for both candidates and enterprises. Cultural differences between the international and local culture prevail. SND is located close to the old city of Suzhou, whereas there is a distinctly more international flavour in the SIP, which hosts a ‘Singapore Square’ along with a tax policy favouring foreign investment. The rapid expansion in the ETDZs also has its drawbacks for foreign direct investors. The infrastructure development has not always kept up with expansion in the zones. Access to essential services, long waiting times for operational components and minimal or reduced social and cultural activities are the consequences of rapid progress. This, in turn, has produced diverse opportunities for local entrepreneurs to seize the chance to capitalise on gaps in economic development. The ETDZs are notable for their ability to assimilate supply chains quickly. Because of the large geographical area of the ETDZs, many small townships are located within them. Township enterprises have begun producing components required by the foreign direct investors. Most of these townships were communes during the Maoist area, meaning that production is still organised along these lines. In many instances, these TVEs were single-product-based and supplied Suzhou and Shanghai with farmed fish, fresh vegetables and craft items. Now, many have changed their production to manufacturing items required further along the supply chain. For example a ‘Technology Township’ in SND designs and provides research and development, then component manufacture, to supply the larger assembly plants located in the ETDZ. Therefore, a distinct logistical chain operates between the ETDZs and Shanghai, with components being manufactured in one location and assembled in another, while sales and marketing offices are situated in Shanghai. Perry and Yeoh (2000) provide a history of the China-Singapore- Suzhou Industrial Park. The authors describe the ETDZ’s success in attracting high-technology firms in the electronics, software, mobile telecommunications and pharmaceuticals sectors, although they also highlight the absence of R&D activities in some cases.

There are three main points to consider in discussion of the ETDZs located near Suzhou in Jiangsu province, China:

1 The area has been selected by China’s central government as region for major growth.

2 Multinational/international companies are established in, and are directly investing in, the region.

3 SMEs and TVEs have established supply chains to help facilitate supply and provide logistical channel support to FDI enterprises.

What does taking the derivative of a function tell you about the function? Is a derivative a local property in the sense that you can define the derivative of a function f(x) at x?

What does integrating a function tell you? Is an integral a local property in the sense that you can define the integral of a function f(x) at x?

If you first differentiate a function and then integrate it, are you going to get the same function back that you started with?

1. A Linked List of Integers

File IntList.java contains definitions for a linked list of integers. The class contains an inner class IntNode that holds information for a single node in the list (a node has a value and a reference to the next node) and the following IntList methods:

• public IntList()—constructor; creates an empty list of integers
• public void addToFront(int val)—takes an integer and puts it on the front of the list
• public void addToEnd(int val)—takes an integer and puts it on the end of the list
• public void removeFirst()—removes the first value from the list
• public void print()—prints the elements in the list from first to last

File IntListTest.java contains a driver that allows you to experiment with these methods. Save both of these files to your directory, compile and run IntListTest, and play around with it to see how it works. Then add the following methods to the IntList class. For each, add an option to the driver to test it.

1. public int length()—returns the number of elements in the list
2. public String toString()—returns a String containing the print value of the list.
3. public void removeLast()—removes the last element of the list. If the list is empty, does nothing.
4. public void replace(int oldVal, int newVal)—replaces all occurrences of oldVal in the list with newVal.

Note that you can still use the old nodes; just replace the values stored in those nodes.
