The National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference on the 8th to introduce some special measures to support the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port to relax market access. Relevant officials from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Hainan Provincial Government attended.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: "Special Measures" proposed "optimizing the market access environment for Hainan's commercial aerospace industry."
Can you tell us more about the background and significance of this measure?
How will Hainan Province support Wenchang Aerospace City to use this opportunity to accelerate the development of the commercial aerospace sector?
Li Dongyu said that the current commercial aerospace market demand is very strong and the market potential is huge. As China’s first coastal low-latitude launch base, Hainan Wenchang has the lowest launch cost, the most convenient transportation of large-diameter rockets, the safest route landing area, and the most efficient launch. , The free trade port policy is the best.
The "Special Measures" proposes to support the construction of an integrated and open Wenchang International Space City in Hainan, to promote the continuous expansion and opening of the commercial aerospace industry to carry out international cooperation, and to promote the landing of the commercial aerospace industry chain in Hainan, which is of great significance to helping China's commercial aerospace flourish.
Li Dongyu said that under the support and guidance of the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant ministries and commissions, Hainan Province will increase its support for Wenchang International Space City, from spatial planning, development and construction, operation management, investment promotion, industrial development, and institutional innovation. We fully support the construction of an integrated and open Wenchang space launch site, build a world-class, market-oriented space launch site system, establish a construction management and application model that meets the development characteristics of China’s international commercial aerospace industry, and actively encourage scientific and technological innovation in the commercial aerospace field. The application will further encourage and support the deployment of major projects of commercial aerospace companies in Hainan, and promote the construction of Hainan Wenchang into a commercial aerospace highland nationwide and even globally.
