Tianjin: Will we still recognize you in 5 years?

In 9-months Tianjin has become a familiar place for me, just as Kamloops did in my single year of living there. From the cosy dorm at TUT, it’s hard to imagine the amazing growth that this city will experience over the next 5-years. With its population of 10-million people (about 1/3 the population of Canada), Tianjin is often referred to as a “second-tier” city to distinguish it against the most famous cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

Dan Harris at the China Law blog gives an excellent introduction for the uninitiated of the changes that await investors and opportunity-seekers (including future TRU study-abroad students) in a great article featuring Tianjin:

    China Boomtown Alert — First Shenzhen, Then Pudong, Now Tianjin…

    Twice in the last month I have done posts on how Tianjin is booming, but none of that can compare to this week’s announcement by China’s State Council that Tianjin’s Binhai New Area (BNA) has been designated an experimental zone…
