The operators are solely responsible for financing, construction, operations and management, and profits or losses according to market economic conditions.<br \/>\nOn the principle of separating governmental functions from enterprise management, the government grants a series of beneficial and supportive policies in terms of policy making, resource, finance and taxation while it does not involve itself in and interfere with the normal business activities carried out by the port operators. The governmental departments in charge of port administration are mainly responsible for planning, legislation, reform and administration. Currently, the port administrative body in Shenzhen is the Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality (Ports Administration). This is a unique governmental department in China in which it has the primary function of administering the wide network of integrated transport services including roads, waterways, civil aviation, railways, urban public transport and the postal service.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"question\"><div class=\"title\"><i class=\"icon-plus acc-icon-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-minus acc-icon-minus\"><\/i>Resources<\/div><div class=\"answer\"><br \/>\nPlease <a href=\"http:\/\/globeinst.info\/wpsf_2014\/wpsf_2014_flyer.pdf\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to download a copy of the Information Booklet for WPSF 2014 (in Chinese).<br \/>\nPrevious Editions:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/events\/world-port-strategy-forum\/2013-global-edition\/\">WPSF 2013<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/events\/world-port-strategy-forum\/2012-global-edition\/\">WPSF 2012<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/events\/world-port-strategy-forum\/2011-global-edition\/\">WPSF 2011<\/a><br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<br \/>\n<div class=\"addtoany_shortcode\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/events\/wpsf-2015\/\" data-a2a-title=\"WPSF 2015\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fevents%2Fwpsf-2015%2F&amp;linkname=WPSF%202015\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fevents%2Fwpsf-2015%2F&amp;linkname=WPSF%202015\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fevents%2Fwpsf-2015%2F&amp;linkname=WPSF%202015\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fevents%2Fwpsf-2015%2F&amp;linkname=WPSF%202015\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/buttons\/favicon.png\" alt=\"Share\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":231,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9400","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9400"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9400"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21519,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9400\/revisions\/21519"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
