Pingtan, of South China's Fujian province, has seen a cross-border boom, as it is currently building itself to be both a comprehensive pilot zone and a free trade zone.
Pingtan, in South China's Fujian province, has been actively attracting cross-Straits youth seeking employment or to start businesses in the city over the recent years, and it appears to be paying dividends.

Fourteen companies, including Zongren Science and Technology (Pingtan) Co and TPK (Pingtan) Co, stood out among the candidates and are expected to be awarded a 50,000 yuan subsidy ($7,353) offered by the local government.
