China's Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday released an evaluation report on the investment environment in the country's national-level economic and technological development zones for 2010.
A total of 90 national-level development zones were included in the evaluation, 36 of which were newly upgraded. Tianjin topped the rankings for the 14th successive year, followed by Suzhou and Guangzhou.
The ranking was based on eight indices, including comprehensive economic power, technological innovation environment and infrastructure construction capabilities, followed by development and efficiency, human resources and social responsibility and management system construction. The categories with smallest disparities across development zones were management costs, environmental protection, energy conservation and emissions reduction.
