- Pudong is an important district of Shanghai. Over the past decade, it has made resounding achievements with its speedy economic development, which has in turn promoted the development of Shanghai as a whole and established its own position and image. Former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin praised Pudong as “an epitome of Shanghai’s modernization drive and a symbol of Chinas reform and opening-up.” As the Chief of Pudong New Area, I can proudly say that Pudong deserves such praise.
