The Rason Special Economic Zone, earlier called the Rajin-Sonbong Economic Special Zone,〔 was established in the early 1990s by the North Korean government near Rason to promote economic growth through foreign investment. It is similar to the Special Economic Zones set up by the People's Republic of China and elsewhere to pilot market economics in a designated controlled area. It is near the border with China and Russia and is a warm-water port for both countries.〔http://nkfood.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/energy-generation-in-rason/| recent report from BDSec Joint Stock Company for HBOil reveals that one of the newcomers to Rason is Mongolia. While China and Russia have rented out the piers in the Rajin portion of Rason, HBOil seems more interested in Seonbong and the energy scene.〕 Chinese and Russian companies have invested in the economic zone. Mongolia has joined recently, and the use of foreign currency is permitted.〔(nk.chosun.com )〕 Bloomberg reported that ground was broken in June 2011 on a further development stage of the zone. In November 2011, work began on building electricity transmission lines that will provide Chinese electricity supplies in the zone. ==Administration== The Rason Special Economic Zone is administered by the Committee of External Economic Cooperation (CPEEC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www1.korea-np.co.jp/pk/014th_issue/97102203.htm )〕 Foreign companies must be invited by the CPEEC to participate in the special zone.〔 The first joint North-South company, called Chilbosanmeri Joint Company, has been formally established in Rason Special Economic Zone. Sources conflict over the date the zone was founded, either 1991 or 1993. Since its creation, laws governing the zone's status have been amended six times, the most recent revision being approved by the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly on 3 December 2011.〔 When Jang Sung-taek was purged in late 2013, the accusations against him included the charge that he had "made no scruple of committing such act of treachery in May last as selling off the land of the Rason economic and trade zone to a foreign country."〔Alastair Gale (12 December 2013), (What North Korea Said About Jang Song Thaek ) ''The Wall Street Journal''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rason Special Economic Zone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
