The construction of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics in Hainan is a major reform and opening-up initiative that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned, deployed, and personally promoted. On June 1, 2020, the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" was announced, marking a crucial step in the construction of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics.
Major decisions have stirred up the construction boom, and the land of Qiongzhou has shown vigorous vitality. With the successive implementation of a series of policies and the release of their effects, Hainan’s new pattern of comprehensive opening up is accelerating from the “master blueprint” and “planning drawings” to “construction drawings” and “real scene drawings”.
Policy "magnetic field" strengthens
A grain of wheat is processed into high-gluten flour within 30 minutes through 32 processes, and the cold processing technology is used to "lock in nutrition" to the utmost extent. The production indicators are tested online throughout the whole process... Hainan Heng, located in the bonded port area of Yangpu Economic Development Zone In the wheat flour production workshop of Fenghetao Noodle Co., Ltd., an unmanned intelligent wheat flour production line composed of Swiss Buhler original equipment has been completed and put into production, with an annual processing capacity of 350,000 tons.
The General Administration of Customs issued a document a few days ago clarifying that the Yangpu Bonded Port Area is the first to pilot the "first-line liberalization, second-line management" cargo entry and exit management system, and implement relevant tax reduction and exemption policies. This makes Yangpu, which has been a hot spot for several times in the history of Hainan's opening up, become the focus of attention.
Hainan Hengfeng Hetao Noodle Industry Co., Ltd. will drink the "top soup" of this new policy. The company’s chairman Wei Jiangong said: “The company came to Yangpu from Inner Mongolia in 2017 and bought 500 acres of land to invest in the establishment of a factory, mainly because it has a geographical advantage in import and export. Imported raw materials can be processed without tariffs if the value added is 30%. , Will greatly reduce our tax costs, and quickly open up local and foreign markets."
The policy package has strengthened the company’s confidence in its development: the board of directors has decided to invest 2.1 billion yuan to expand production capacity and build a grain, oil and food integrated logistics distribution center.
With the introduction of the "hard core" policy for the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the "magnetic field" effect of Hainan's opening up has been continuously released. According to the relevant person in charge of the Yangpu Management Committee, the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" has just been announced two months ago, and more than 120 enterprises have negotiated with Yangpu to enter the bonded port area.
In the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pioneer Zone, the Boao International Diabetes Center of the University of Edinburgh has started its trial operation; in Wenchang International Aerospace City, as the "Tianwen No. 1" soars into the sky, a number of major aerospace industry projects are expected to speed up; in Sanya In the Central Business District, Sanya Shitian Cruises Co., Ltd. and more than 10 yacht cruise companies settled in...
Attracted by policies such as zero tariffs and low tax rates, domestic and foreign companies have rushed to Hainan. Since June, the number of new entities in the Hainan market has risen sharply. In June, only 50 foreign-funded enterprises were newly established, a year-on-year increase of 92.31%.
In addition, the new tax exemption policy for outlying islands with an unlimited amount of 100,000 yuan per year is setting off a new shopping boom. In Sanya International Duty Free City and Haikou Riyue Square Duty Free Shop, the long queue for ordering and checkout can be seen at any time. Haikou Customs data shows that in July when the New Deal was implemented, there were more than 280,000 duty-free shopping passengers on Hainan’s outlying islands, and the amount of duty-free shopping exceeded 2.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than twice.
Hub "traffic" continues to grow
On July 30, in the gorgeous sunset, the HU5971 flight operated by the Hainan Airlines A330 wide-body passenger plane took off from the new runway of the second phase expansion project of Haikou Meilan International Airport, and landed safely and smoothly after nearly four hours of flight On the new runway. This successful test flight marked that the second phase of Meilan Airport was put into use at the end of the year, and it has more sufficient conditions.
As a major infrastructure for the construction of a free trade port in Hainan, the second phase of Meilan Airport with a total investment of more than 16 billion yuan can take off and land the world's largest passenger aircraft A380, with 72 seats. After the completion of the project, Meilan Airport will achieve dual runways and dual terminal operations, which can guarantee a maximum annual passenger throughput of 45 million passengers and an annual cargo and mail throughput of 600,000 tons.
Wang Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the second phase of Meilan Airport construction, said that as the construction of the free trade port speeds up, Hainan’s aviation industry will usher in a major development. In the future, the number of domestic and foreign airlines flying at Meilan Airport will increase significantly. Five foreign airlines came to negotiate the opening of routes. At the same time, Meilan Airport is planning the third phase of the project to meet the future needs of the free trade port.
In early June, the National Civil Aviation Administration announced a plan to officially open the seventh traffic rights for passenger and cargo transportation to Hainan as a pilot. This is the first time that my country's civil aviation has piloted the opening of the seventh freedom rights for passenger and cargo at the same time. This policy will attract foreign airlines to fly Hainan routes and open up international routes based on Hainan.
Transportation is free and convenient, and the flow of people and goods is increasing, providing "flow responsibility" for the construction of a new international shipping hub and aviation hub for land and sea passages in the west.
On July 28, the "Tianlong River" cargo ship loaded foreign trade heavy containers from Yangon, Myanmar to Yangpu Xiaochantan Wharf, and departed for Tianjin, marking the transfer of imported goods from ASEAN to Tianjin via Yangpu. The same ship transportation channel was officially opened.
Prior to this, the registration port of "China Yangpu Port" ushered in the registration of two ships in succession, and the domestic and foreign trade transportation on the same ship domestic ship bonded oil refueling policy began to be implemented... Aiming at the strategic positioning of the new western land-sea channel shipping hub, Yangpu Port is accelerating its development . In the first half of the year, the cargo throughput of Yangpu Port increased by 11.8% year-on-year, of which foreign trade throughput increased by 18.7%.
Under the guidance of the open policy, Hainan's passenger flow was the first to recover after the epidemic. Statistics show that the number of flights in and out of Sanya in July exceeds the same period last year. The occupancy rate of hotels in the Haitang Bay area of Sanya has been steadily rising due to the new tax exemption policy on outlying islands, and it is not uncommon to see "a room is hard to find". Nearly half of tourists stayed in Sanya from three or four days in previous years to more than five days.
Comprehensive "environmental" advantages are highlighted
In the afternoon, the warm sun shines into the window, and the beautiful sound of the piano comes out from the fingertips. In the piano room of the Conservatory of Music of Hainan Normal University, Russian piano teacher Irina is playing and explaining to the students in fluent Chinese. Piano playing skills.
Irina, who is 64 years old, could hardly imagine that she could continue to work in Hainan. She told reporters: “According to the original regulations, my age has exceeded the limit. Now I can continue to teach, thanks to Hainan’s new policy and the school’s communication and efforts.”
Don't reject the crowds, and the river is the river. Since last year, Hainan has introduced measures to optimize the management and service of foreign personnel in public institutions, and promote the resolution of various job restrictions on the employment of foreigners in public institutions. Nowadays, more and more foreigners like Irina have obtained work permits in Joan.
For the price of three coconuts, you can buy a high-insurance global advanced specialty drug insurance. Recently, a special drug insurance launch ceremony was held in the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. With the huge QR code popping up on the central screen, ordinary residents of Hainan can enjoy the insurance protection of 70 new anti-cancer drugs as long as they scan the code and pay 29 yuan, of which 49 are new special drugs that are not listed in the country. The range can cover 35 common cancers.
The river is blue, the vegetation is verdant, there is no dense high-rise buildings, and there is no hustle and bustle of the city. As the forefront of the opening up of China's medical field, the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pioneer Zone continues to attract well-known medical structures and pharmaceutical companies, innovatively launch new products that benefit the people, and accelerate the creation of a health resort.
The unique wind and rain corridor connects more than 10 functional venues, such as teaching buildings, dormitories, and gymnasiums. Teachers and students do not have to "go in the wind and rain". In the Jiangdong New District of Haikou, with the gradual dismantling of the engineering scaffolding, the foreign school of Harrow Public School and the Reed School have gradually revealed their “truth”.
As a key project for the internationalization of education in Jiangdong New Area, this project will provide world-class education support for global high-end talents stationed in the Jiangdong New Area Headquarters Economic Zone. In September this year, the school will officially open.
After sitting at work for a long time, I slid down the tube slide from the third floor to the first floor, and then climbed on the climbing wall on the patio of the office building. In my free time, I went to the lake plank downstairs to enjoy the fragrance of birds and flowers... In Tradeport Ecological Software Park, there are not a few companies that have such a "luxury" office environment.
From optimizing services to individuals to improving the business environment of enterprises, and based on its unique ecological environment advantages, Hainan strives to create a good environment that is suitable for living, learning, raising, and working. The free trade port is constantly exuding its unique charm. (Participating reporter: Chen Ziwei)
