(Economic Observation) Where are the special measures to relax market access for the Hainan Free Trade Port?

  China News Service, Beijing, April 8th (Reporter Li Xiaoyu) On the 8th, Chinese officials announced the "Opinions on Supporting the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port to Relax Certain Special Measures for Market Access."

The so-called "special measures" are "special" in three places.

One "special" in the object.

  The special measures announced this time involve five major areas and 22 specific measures, many of which are "tailor-made" for Hainan and have distinctive local characteristics.

  For example, relaxing access restrictions for the seed industry, streamlining the import and export approval process of the seed industry, and encouraging international cooperative breeding research are focusing on the natural advantages of Hainan’s excellent breeding conditions; supporting the construction of an integrated and open Wenchang space launch site; promoting satellite remote sensing and Beidou Commercial aerospace industry chains such as navigation, satellite communications, quantum satellites, chip design, launch vehicles, and measurement and control have landed in Hainan, considering that Hainan Wenchang is China’s first coastal low-latitude launch base with the lowest launch cost and the most convenient transportation for large-diameter rockets.

  For another example, in view of the urgent need for Hainan's agriculture to upgrade from traditional management methods to modernization, the government proposed to carry out pilot projects to support the development of the entire agricultural industry chain, through the introduction of geographic information systems (GIS), satellite remote sensing technology, drone information collection technology and other information methods. Promote data collection and integration across the entire agricultural industry chain.

  This series of measures fully takes into account Hainan’s geographical location characteristics, existing problems and future development directions, and is conducive to maximizing Hainan’s unique advantages.

Two "special", at the level.

  The substantial relaxation of market access is another major feature of the special measures.

In the words of Xu Shanchang, Director of the System Reform Department of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, these measures are to effectively relax the entry barriers of cultural, medical, education and other industries under the premise of "controllable", and "do everything possible to break down barriers." Effectively and fully stimulate the vitality of market entities.

  For example, in the medical field, this opinion clarifies that for prescription drugs that are marketed in China, except for drugs that are specifically regulated by the National Drug Administration Law, all are allowed to rely on electronic prescription centers for Internet sales, and no additional approval is required. This can be called online prescription drugs. Pioneering exploration.

  In terms of new energy infrastructure, the opinions proposed to relax market access restrictions for 5G-integrated products and services, promote vehicle-road coordination and the application of unmanned driving technology, and promote centralized charging and replacement of parking lots in urban areas, industrial parks, scenic spots, and public service places The construction of electrical facilities, simplified project filing procedures, planning and construction, and fire protection design review and acceptance are also a manifestation of bold and first trials.

  Xu Shanchang said that this "systematic restructuring" of industry access and regulatory mechanisms will create a stronger and more dynamic atmosphere for reform and innovation in the construction of the market access system.

  It is worth noting that while relaxing market access, special measures have also put forward supporting policies in a targeted manner.

  Jiang Chenghua, deputy director of the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Commerce, stated that in order to effectively break through hidden barriers to market access such as "no access to business", the "Special Measures", in addition to relaxing restrictions on list items, aimed at the objectively existing systems upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. For issues such as sexual barriers, institutional obstructions, and insufficient policy innovations, supporting industrial development policies have been put forward from the perspectives of institutional mechanisms, institutional guarantees, financial support, and talent guarantees, so that market players can truly feel the dividends of reform.

The three "specials" are in scope.

  As Xu Shanchang said, the special measures focus on pooling global resources, making Hainan a benchmark for global market access, forming an extremely attractive market environment, and promoting the efficient convergence of global high-quality capital, talent, technology and other resources.

  Among the 22 specific measures announced this time, encouraging open cooperation can be seen everywhere.

Support international cooperation in the field of commercial satellites and payloads, encourage domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies and drug research institutions to develop various innovative drugs and improved new drugs in Hainan, and promote the performance and creation of high-quality cultural performance industries in countries along the "Belt and Road" and even the world The various measures such as gathering various resources such as capital, capital and technology in Hainan all reflect China’s willingness and determination to use high-quality resources to achieve higher-quality development on a global scale.

  Analysts believe that China is currently accelerating the construction of a new development pattern and must give full play to the role of international circulation in promoting the upgrading of the domestic big circulation.

Only by opening up at a higher level and promoting the free flow of high-quality elements, goods and services within and outside the country, can the domestic cycle and the entire Chinese economy leap to a higher level.

The special measures introduced this time are just a manifestation of "gathering the world's resources and using them."
