Abstract

China's Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have been entering a new development stage after China's entry into WTO. China has been developing 'China's economic development model', in which SEZs have ideally been combined with FDIs. China's SEZs concentrated in the east coastal region geographically, specialized in secondary industry, and put in practice many important favourable policies. China's SEZs also play an important role in regional development with the growth pole. At the time of entering the WTO, China's SEZs have been faced with new changes. This paper analyses this new change in China's SEZs, and considers the effect to Korea in the view of policy. In the past ten years, Korea has acquired a better development in the field of economic cooperation. The industrial structure of the two countries has become more and more closed. Especially, the FDI cooperation of the past ten years mostly concentrated on China's SEZs. From the view of country's spatial division, Korea needs to adjust FDI its strategy more diversely in investment regions and industries, and it needs more joint cooperation.
