The report was published on April 6.
Guangdong Province's Shenzhen and Guangzhou and Fujian Province's Xiamen are at the forefront of the country’s opening-up drive and a few cities from the central and western regions, including Wuhan, Chengdu and Xi'an, are rising fast in terms of opening up, according to the report.
