Features: This is the third Shanghai Industrial Development Report compiled by us, elaborating on the manufacturing industry in the context of openness. It includes: manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai involving foreign joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises; manufacturing operations by Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan companies in Shanghai; multinational manufacturing operations in Shanghai; manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai operating across provincial markets in China; manufacturing operations by inland Chinese provinces and cities in Shanghai; and the strategic upgrading of Shanghai's manufacturing industry in the early 21st century. In the current context of global economic integration, a country or region seeking modernization is inevitably required to implement open policies and enter the process of globalization. How China's manufacturing industry adapts to the process of economic globalization during modernization, survives, and thrives under open conditions, is a fundamental issue for the future development of the manufacturing industry.
