Xiamen / 厦门

Xiamen appears in No.205 ⛵️ 潮汕往事：侨批、经济特区和没有等来的深圳奇迹 as one of China’s first four special economic zones. The episode groups it with Zhuhai / 珠海 and Shantou Special Economic Zone / 汕头经济特区 as a more export-processing-oriented zone, while Shenzhen / 深圳 is described as a broader comprehensive special zone.

The page also connects the Chaoshan source to the wiki’s existing Fujian maritime branch. Xiamen’s role in the episode is not a full Minnan history, but it sits near Quanzhou / 泉州, Minnan Maritime Commercial Culture, and Qiaopi Remittance Networks as another coastal node shaped by diaspora and external-facing policy.
