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, and, like the other three zones, was modeled after Ireland's Shannon Free Zone.
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.
