Hainan Free w88 Port is the benchmark for my country’s opening up
Reporter:President Xi Jinping mentioned in his 2026 New Year's message that "Hainan Free w88 Port will be closed to the whole island for customs operation." The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal also proposed to "build Hainan Free w88 Port with high standards." Hainan Free w88 Port is frequently mentioned. What is the deep meaning behind it?
Zhao Zhongxiu:The construction of Hainan Free w88 Port is a very important "eye in the game" in the country's overall opening up. Our country is now opening up to the outside world at a high level. There are two obvious starting points, one is the free w88 pilot zone and the other is the free w88 port.Hainan Free w88 Port, as the only free w88 port with Chinese characteristics, targets the most advanced international economic and w88 rules.Hainan is the largest free w88 port in the world. The central government has given it a special mission. On December 18 last year, the Hainan Free w88 Port officially launched the island-wide customs closure. In the new stage of independent opening up, Hainan plays a leading role. Therefore, the central government has high hopes for the Hainan Free w88 Port.The construction of Hainan Free w88 Port has served as a bellwether for the opening up of our entire country.Therefore, people across the country are full of expectations for the construction of Hainan Free w88 Port. The construction of free w88 ports must be accelerated to become a very powerful growth level for the better development of our country.
Reporter:How do we understand the important mission of Hainan Free w88 Port in the overall development of the country?
Zhao Zhongxiu:After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, our reform and opening up has shifted from preferential policy opening to institutional opening up. Institutional opening up includes rules, regulations, management, and standards. Then,In terms of rules, it is necessary to benchmark against the highest level rules in the world. The highest standard rules such as CPTPP and DEPA can be piloted in Hainan first.Hainan must have the courage to try things out first, determine some new rules for us to promote open development in Hainan, mature them through experiments, and turn them into national rules and even international rules.
Therefore, Hainan can serve as a testing ground for policies in terms of institutional opening up. It is actually a trial system for high-level opening up for the entire country. Hainan's development should become a model for the future.
Play the role of "flag-bearer" in building an open world economy
Reporter:In the past, our opening up was to “follow”, but now our opening up is to “lead”. The closed-door operation is a typical institutional opening. Which institutional opening measures and experiences of the Hainan Free w88 Port impress you?
Zhao Zhongxiu:Hainan should benchmark against international high-standard rules, such as the facilitation of customs clearance and "zero tariffs", with a coverage of 74%. This list will be lengthened. In addition, if the processing value-added exceeds 30%, it can enter the mainland market duty-free. Therefore, this amplifies the advantages of Hainan's industrial agglomeration.Hainan is actually a gathering place for industrial development.
Reporter:What do you think is the next step for Hainan Free w88 Port to expand institutional opening up and truly achieve “leading the way”?
Zhao Zhongxiu:The general direction of economic globalization has not changed, but in the specific process, it has suffered huge setbacks and even reversed globalization. At this time, who will take a clear-cut stand to promote an open world economy? It’s China’s turn to carry this banner, then,Hainan can play the role of a "flag-bearer".Hainan has formed a new standard and new rules through its own reforms and opening up. This new standard and new rules are not a replacement for the existing standards and rules, but an improvement on them. For emerging fields where there are no rules yet, Hainan must take the lead in establishing rules and setting an example. This is "leading the way".
Introducing international high-quality consumption to Hainan
Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference prioritizes “adhering to domestic demand and building a strong domestic market”. Hainan has proposed the main path of expanding domestic demand by "diversion from the island, focusing on the outside world, and promoting domestic demand from the outside world" to help the country build a new development pattern. How do we understand this path? Zhao Zhongxiu: This is actually determined by Hainan’s special geographical location and institutional conditions. Now, domestic demand dominates and the domestic market is the mainstay, which is an important feature of the new development pattern. my country's service w88 actually has a huge deficit, which is realized through overseas consumption. For example, travel is not just sightseeing, but also includes medical services and medical treatment abroad. Many Chinese children study abroad. This volume is very large. There are now almost 1 million Chinese students studying abroad. Hainan, it should be said, can divert some of this demand, and we can introduce high-quality consumption into Hainan. For example, the offshore tax exemption has been implemented for many years. There are also high-quality medical services and high-quality education. The original overseas consumption demand is realized in Hainan, which actually converts part of the external demand into domestic demand. As an international tourism and consumption center, Hainan further optimizes our country's consumption environment, which is also an important driving force for China's high-quality economic growth. Hainan has great potential in this regard. In terms of international education in Hainan, w88 casino is also actively gathering international resources and actively promoting the establishment of cooperative institutions in Hainan. The w88 casino has specially established Hainan International College to undertake our international education. It should be said that the future is promising. We will use the efforts of the whole w88 casino to contribute to the construction of Hainan Free w88 Port and the high-quality development of Hainan.
