Seems like a significant change in governance was required for this change to happen. For those unfamiliar (as I was) a ZEDE is a "special economic zone", along the lines of Shenzhen, Dubai, etc. If an area (city, town?) was classified as a ZEDE it gains the ability to disregard some laws (I can't find what/any limits there are), gains its own judiciary, etc. I can understand the rationale for removing them, as it certainly sounds like something that would have questionable legality, however at the same time it sounds like the previous president has been extradited to the US? So who knows how much of this is politicking
