It wasn't immediate clear to me what "Shan-Zhen" was when I first saw the title and after first read of the article. But it seems to be a combo word of Shan-(non)+ (Shen)zhen. Just FYI for whoever else was also wondering.

I assumed it referred to the Shannon free zone

Possibly also a word play on shan-zhai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanzhai

Not to mention Shannon, the name of the town!
