On April 18, 1990, Chinese Government declared that Pudong would be open to the rest of the world and this "Head of Dragon" should quickly build Shanghai into one of the international centers of economy, finance and trade. As a result, a new economic take-off in the Yangtze River Delta and the Yangtze River Basin as a whole will be promoted. This is an important landmark in China's opening and reform.
