The Changshu Yushan High-Tech Industrial Development Zone in Jiangsu Province was established in the 1990s and was formerly known as the Yushan Industrial Park. In March 2003, it was renamed the High-Tech Industrial Park of the Changshu Economic Development Zone in Jiangsu Province and began operating independently as a supporting zone for the national-level Changshu Economic and Technological Development Zone.On August 11, 2017, the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government formally approved the establishment of the Changshu Yushan High-Tech Industrial Development Zone in Jiangsu Province, which operates under the current provincial-level high-tech zone policies.
