Tianjin - China

Tianjin China World Trade Center -- An agreement will be negotiated between TCDC and TEDA (Tiajin Economic Development Authority).

Tianjin is one of the largest industrial and port cities in People's Republic of China and is known as "the diamond of the Bohai Gulf." The city covers an area of 11,000 square kilometers (4,200 square miles) and has a population in excess of 10 million people. Located in the northeast of the North China Plain, Tianjin is the closest seaport to Beijing. Its Tianjin port links a dozen provinces and cities in the north with the sea. With more than 30 navigation routes leading to more than 300 international ports, it serves as a major channel linking the continents of Asia and Europe by sea. Tianjin’s geographical position and strategic importance is unmatchable.

This proposed WTC Complex will contain a World Trade Showcase Center, a WTC private club, WTC Tianjin corporate offices, a WTC executive center, offices for diplomats, U.S. commercial services, shipping companies, freight forwarders, full and executive office space for global companies, trade and commerce operations and other WTC related services. This project will be a joint venture with either the Tianjin Economic - Technology Development Area Administration Commission (TEDA), the Tianjin Municipal Government, the port of Tianjin or a combination. It is projected to be a self-contained Free Trade Zone in this port city for Beijing. The PRC government is highly motivated to open this complex in advance of the 2008 Olympic games.
