Hainan, China's southernmost island-province, is rapidly transforming into an economic powerhouse. Central to this ambition is the development of its Free Trade Port, a project personally spearheaded by General Secretary Xi Jinping. This initiative is designed with Chinese characteristics, aiming to position Hainan as a beacon of reform and opening-up.
In an exclusive interview on The Forefront, Feng Fei, Secretary of Hainan's CPC Provincial Committee, delved into the province's comprehensive economic masterplan. The plan emphasizes the cultivation of high-quality new productive forces and the promotion of low-carbon, green industries. This strategic focus not only enhances Hainan's appeal as a world-class destination but also makes it a magnet for both investors and visitors.
Feng Fei outlined Hainan's \"Four Pillars, Three Strengths, and Three Premium Service Sectors,\" a framework designed to bolster the province's quality, resilience, and competitiveness. A key component of this strategy is the Free Trade Port's independent customs operations, which Feng Fei describes as a milestone for facilitating free trade on the island.
Capitalizing on its advantageous location, rich environment, and biodiversity, Hainan is pioneering multiple initiatives aimed at maximizing its strengths while safeguarding its natural assets. From developing green industries and expanding tourism to enhancing infrastructure and hosting world-renowned events like the Boao Forum for Asia and the China International Consumer Products Expo, Hainan is steadily building its domestic and global reputation.
These efforts are not only driving economic growth but also reinforcing Hainan's status as a formidable force in the global market. As the province continues to implement its visionary policies, it stands as a testament to China's commitment to sustainable and inclusive development.
