Overview
An ancient harbor on the East China Sea, Ningbo was one of the first cities to benefit from China’s economic liberalization. In the two decades since its opening, Ningbo has emerged as China’s fourth largest port and one of the key economic and industrial hubs of the Yangtze River delta. Ningbo is ranked by the World Bank as having the 18th best investment climate for foreign firms in China. US companies have already begun to catch on to the opportunities of exporting to Ningbo; almost 5% of the cities imports— over USD $1.4 billion worth— originate from the United States.
