Hainan was designated as a Special Economic Zone in 1998 with the aim of reinventing as a showcase for China’s environmental protection programme, an international tourism and retail hub, a globally‑oriented centre of professional service excellence and a key gateway to the Pacific and Indian Ocean trading routes. In 2020, the Central Government released the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. The objective is that by 2025, a policy framework for the free trade port with emphasis on trade and investment liberalisation and facilitation will have been put in place. Policies regarding the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port include building areas under special customs supervision that feature independent customs operation throughout Hainan Island, exempting import tariffs for products whose added value exceeds 30% when entering the rest of mainland China, and building of a new international land and sea transport hub to connect Western China with the world as well as an international aviation hub. Target industries to include Tourism, Modern Finance, Modern Service Industry, New and High-Tech Industry, Advanced Manufacturing, and ICT, to name a few.
