Economy
[edit ]Rui'an has been a relatively wealthy and prosperous city since ancient times. However, it was not until the initialization of Reform and Opening Up that Rui'an regained its momentum. The people of Rui'an have been pioneers in many fields, especially in the development of China's market economy in the form of joint-stock system.
They set up a household contract responsibility system, which would encourage the citizens to take lead in the household industries, and in turn invest their best effort to sell their products. Consequently, Rui'an experienced rapid economic development. The government induced the rural entrepreneurs and shareholders to cooperate effectively. Many kinds of economic systems that have significantly accelerated regional development have been experimented and introduced in Rui'an. Together, these approaches became known as the "Wenzhou Model" (温州模式), and is from 1980s to early 21st century one of the leading model for economic growth both in China and abroad.
In 2005, Rui'an ranked 39th place in comprehensive economic strength among the first 100 counties and cities of China. In the 20-square-kilometer economic development zone at the provincial level, there is enthusiasm[by whom? ] for capital investment in building Rui'an into a new urban area with comprehensive development of industry, trade, science and technology. Rui'an is also known for its production of plastics and auto accessories.[8]
Transportation
[edit ]The infrastructure of Rui'an has improved[when? ], with an ever-quickening pace of urbanization. Now, it has modernized traffic control, transportation and communication systems. The Wenzhou Yongqiang Airport, a 10,000-ton seaport and the local railway station are each less than 30 kilometers from the city proper. The coastal highway and the No. 104 state highway which run through the city, and the Rui'an station on the Wenzhou–Fuzhou railway are a few significant examples of developments in transportation in Rui'an.[9] The Rail Transit Line 2, which started operation on April 26, 2023, arrives in Rui'an.[10]
Resources
[edit ]As a coastal city, Rui'an is rich in natural resources and has several salt mines. Situated about 100 nautical miles away from the estuary of Feiyunjiang, there lies the seabed rich in crude oil and natural gas, which are now being prospected and planned to be excavated.[11]
