As Taizhou develops from the former “coastal defense front” on the southeast coast, into the birthplace of China’s private economy, and then into the national “pilot area” for micro and small financial reform, which is developing towards the “demonstration area”, Taizhou financial practitioners have gone through a hundred years of wind and rain along with the development of the times.
