It’s a great initiative, the local government are determined to build a super-city & people here, from my observations, seem similarly motivated in all other aspects of their lives to see Shenzhen become the same.
Shenzhen will not only become the number city in China but it will also become the number one city in the world. For example, Shenzhen Air at http://www.shenzhenair.com has huge aspirations not only to become the number airline in China but the whole world.
Great to see they have done their research and determined that Shenzhen is the No. 1 city in China
