Examples

“Like⟳ Shanghai, Tianjin is the only other municipality to have⟳ been afforded preferential treatment and favourable funding policies, indicative of Beijing’s support⟳ to see⟳ the municipality develop⟳ its financial services sector. The Binhai District of Tianjin, for example, was the first to be granted dispensation by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange⟳ to engage⟳ in direct⟳ investment in overseas securities.”

“And the discussion on China’s social media sphere isn’t done yet. On the evening of August 13, the top-trending hashtag on Sina Weibo was “#塘沽爆炸真相#” – “Tanggu [the explosion’s location in the Binhai district] explosion truth.””

“TIANJIN, a northern mega-city, has produced some of China's wittiest comedians.[...]The problem is that the city’s planners sot far ahead of themselves. They built a big new financial district, which they billed as China’s Manhattan, in the Binhai district, on the city’s far-east side.”

“Anyone new to the green-clad Binhai New Area in Tianjin would find⟳ it hard to believe⟳ that it was not always an ideal place⟳ to live⟳. Located in North China’s major coastal city, Binhai has a land⟳ area of 2,270 square kilometers, but over half of it used to be covered in high-saline soil, which is unsuitable for growing plants.”
