Geographical distribution of free trade zones has far-reaching impact on China's economic growth As China's online shopping frenzy kicked off on Nov 11, logistics workers braced themselves for the rush.Luckily, this year, workers in North China's largest e-commerce automated warehouse, in the Dongjiang Free Trade Port Zone of the Tianjin Binhai New Area, have a secret weapon."The conveyor delivers the goods one by one to me.
