Fujian Province is situated in the southeastern part of coastal zone of China with favorite geographical location, abundant and various natural resources, large population but less land. Since reform and opening to the outside world, the province's economy has developed very fast with the extroverted and non public owned economy as main body, profiting from the exertion of locality and kinship advantages. The GDP of the province experienced an average growth rate of 13 8% from 1979 to 1998, which was one of the highest growth rates in China. However, a series of problems emerged during the rapid economic growth, such as the prominent inconsistency of economic structure, the lag of urbanization to the industrial growth, the imbalance and lack of coordination in the investment environment, the deterioration of ecology and natural resources, and the broadened gap of regional development.
