Free-trade Zone China

Fifteen Asia-Pacific nations including China aim to clinch the world's largest free-trade agreement this weekend, the culmination of Beijing's decade-long quest for greater economic integration with a region that encompasses nearly a third of the global gross domestic product.

The Silicon Valley electric carmaker's wholly-owned manufacturing facility would be built in Shanghai's free-trade zone and could allow Tesla to dramatically lower the cost of its cars in China.

A China-backed trade deal meant to cement the Beijing's dominance in Asia has veered off course because India is hesitant to open its borders to cheap Chinese goods.

Consoles produced in the Shanghai Free-Trade Zone will automatically be approved for sale in the rest of China.

Facebook, Twitter and other websites blocked by the Chinese government will be accessible in a planned free-trade zone in Shanghai.
