Now, The Chinese community is enjoying the business opportunity offered by the internet. Only revolution will make them become better and better. In the coming days, the Shanghai free trade zone will aim to prove itself as a transformative model for China’s economic structure and inspires of the rest of communism countries such as North Korea.
