The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (Chinese: 深圳经济特区) is a special economic zone (SEZ) of China. One of four special economic zones (SEZ) established in May 1980, it was the first SEZ created by Deng Xiaoping,[1] and, like the other three zones, was modeled after Ireland's Shannon Free Zone.[2]

Until 2010, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone comprised four of the nine districts of Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province, namely Luohu, Futian, Nanshan, and Yantian, with a total area of 493 km2. In 2010, it was expanded to include the rest of the city, substantially increasing the geographical size of the SEZ.[3][4]
