During a two-day inspection tour in Hainan Province, located in the southern part of the Chinese mainland, Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang emphasized the critical role of the Hainan Free Trade Port as a gateway to innovative global trade.
Visiting key facilities—including social management centers, airports, and harbor ports—Ding examined the preparations for launching independent customs operations later this year. He stressed the need for coordinated efforts to ensure that the process is smooth and orderly, setting the stage for enhanced duty-free shopping initiatives and the establishment of an international tourism consumption center.
Ding also highlighted the importance of leveraging local strengths to develop new quality productive forces and a modern industrial system. His insights spanned diverse sectors, from the burgeoning field of commercial spaceflight to the imperative of quality education in rural areas.
With a forward-looking vision, the inspection underscores a strategic move to integrate cutting-edge policies, sustainable practices, and robust economic initiatives. This dynamic approach not only bolsters local development but also positions Hainan as a pivotal hub in global trade, resonating with young entrepreneurs, tech innovators, thought leaders, and digital nomads around the world.
