Fujian Free Trade Zone Highlights The "Cross-Strait" And "Haze" Elements.

The Fujian free trade zone was approved in December last year, including three areas in Fuzhou and Xiamen peace pond, covering an area of 118.04 square kilometers.

Yang Zhengwei, deputy director of the Policy Research Office of the Ministry of Commerce of China, said that a free trade area should have its own characteristics. The characteristics of the Fujian free trade pilot area are three aspects: the first is to deepen cross-strait economic cooperation; the second is to build the core area of the maritime silk road in twenty-first Century; and the third is the blue economy, that is, the marine economy.

The general plan of China (Fujian) free trade pilot area released on the same day also shows that the "cross-strait" and "haze" elements are particularly prominent in the construction of Fujian FTA pilot area.

The overall plan clearly establishes the Fujian free trade pilot area, which is a major move taken in the new situation for comprehensively deepening reform, opening wider to the outside world and deepening economic cooperation across the Straits. "Based on deepening economic cooperation between the two sides of the Straits", we have written into the guiding ideology of deepening the cross-strait economic cooperation and exploring new models for deepening economic cooperation between the two sides and developing new ways to exchange and cooperate with the countries and regions along the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century.

Taiwan is widely regarded as Fujian. Pilot free trade zones The most distinctive feature of construction. The plan emphasizes that the Fujian free trade pilot area should give full play to the advantages of Taiwan and take the lead in promoting the process of investment and trade liberalization in Taiwan.

In " Cross Straits Besides, the strategic positioning of Fujian FTA pilot zone also highlights docking " The Belt and Road Initiative "We need to give full play to the frontier advantages of opening up and build the core area of the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century, and create a new height for opening up and cooperation of the countries and regions along the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century.

From the plan, we can see that the functions of Fuzhou and Xiamen peace Tan are divided into three areas, but they all highlight the regional layout of deepening cross-strait economic cooperation and docking "one belt and one road". The Pingtan area focuses on the construction of cross-strait common homeland and international tourism island, and implements more free and convenient measures in terms of investment, trade and capital personnel exchanges. The Xiamen area focuses on building new industries and modern service cooperation demonstration zones, Southeast international shipping centers, cross-strait regional financial service centers and cross-strait trade centers. Fuzhou area focuses on building advanced manufacturing bases, an important platform for exchanges and cooperation between countries and regions along the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century, and a demonstration area for cross strait trade in services and financial innovation.

Zheng Zhajie, vice governor of Fujian, said that through deepening the innovative measures of cross-strait economic and trade cooperation, we will open up space for development of enterprises and residents in mainland China and Taiwan, and create more opportunities for cooperation and development.

In the "main tasks and measures" part of the overall plan, "taking the lead in promoting investment and trade freedom in Taiwan" is the main content. A series of specific measures have been put forward in four aspects: exploring the new mode of industrial cooperation between Fujian and Taiwan, expanding the opening of service trade to Taiwan, promoting the freedom of trade in goods and facilitating cross-strait exchanges. In addition, "promoting the opening and innovation in the financial sector" has made specific arrangements for "promoting the first trial of Cross Straits financial cooperation". "Cultivating new advantages of Pingtan's opening up and development" has also put forward a package of Taiwan policy measures to "promote the liberalization of service trade" and "promote shipping liberalization".

The specific measures for docking "one belt and one road" are also expressed in the overall plan. In order to promote the innovation of customs clearance mechanism, we clearly supported the cooperation and exchanges between the FTA and the countries and regions along the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century, and explored the implementation of cooperation and exchanges with the countries and regions along the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century.

Professor Huang Maoxing, vice president of the school of economics, Fujian Normal University and professor of Fujian Comprehensive Research Institute of free trade area, believes that the Fujian FTA pilot area is a new carrier for Fujian to integrate into the "one belt and one way" and build the core area of the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century. Relying on the joint efforts to build "one belt and one road", Fujian will strengthen interconnection and cooperation with the countries and regions along the "along the way" along the maritime Silk Road. This will be a prospect for the twenty-first Century Maritime Silk Road to boost the upgraded version of the Fujian FTA pilot area.
