At the recent local two sessions, "opening up to the outside world" has been a high-frequency term discussed in government work reports and by representatives and committee members. Focus on expanding high-level opening-up to the outside world, set goals, come up with new strategies, and seek practical results in various regions. The reporter observed that coastal provinces are making efforts to make good use of their geographical advantages and enhance their level of openness. Hebei has a coastline stretching 487 kilometers, connecting multiple important ports such as Tangshan Port along the Bohai Bay. Zhao Huanzhang, a representative of the People's Congress of Hebei Province and deputy general manager of Tangshan Caofeidian Industrial Port Co., Ltd., noticed that this year's work report of the Hebei Provincial Government proposed to deepen the implementation of actions such as the export of Hebei goods and promote port transformation and upgrading. He said, "Based on the port, deepening the linkage between land and sea will better assist enterprises in exporting their products overseas and integrating cross-border resources, and transform ports from gathering and dispersing ports to comprehensive trade ports." Opening the work reports of various local governments, multiple coastal provinces have proposed new measures for opening up to the outside world: Zhejiang has proposed to enhance the level of open platforms and accelerate the construction of the "three bases and two centers" hub for commodity resource allocation. Tianjin has made it clear to coordinate the deepening of reform empowerment and the expansion of the "five types" of opening up, enrich the dimensions of commercial and trade opening, and support foreign trade enterprises to explore domestic sales and emerging markets. We will leverage our own advantages to create a cross-border service platform for omnichannel integrated marketing and brand incubation. ”When it comes to the work deployment for the new year, Xu Lei, a member of the Tianjin Municipal Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of Northern International Group, believes that relying on open platforms such as the pilot free trade zone, foreign trade enterprises can continuously enhance their resilience to risks, and the level of openness of coastal provinces and cities will continue to improve. The inland provinces that do not border or rely on the sea are also striving to build a new highland for opening up to the outside world. Recently, a freight train loaded with high-pressure dust removal and masking tape departed from Fuzhou International Port in Jiangxi Province and will arrive in Rotterdam, Netherlands in mid February. Lv Xinmin, a representative of the People's Congress of Jiangxi Province and Chairman of Jiangxi Yongguan Technology Development Co., Ltd., stated that this year's Jiangxi Provincial Government Work Report proposes the development goal of guiding the rational and orderly cross-border layout of industrial and supply chains. This requires support from multiple fields such as infrastructure and open platforms to solve the logistics bottleneck of inland cities' "going global" and help inland enterprises achieve "door-to-door customs clearance and zero distance going global". Reviewing the work reports of multiple inland provincial governments, accelerating the construction of urban hub functions and further improving radiation capabilities are important focus areas for many regions to open up to the outside world. Gansu has made it clear to enhance the level of open platforms such as comprehensive bonded zones, land ports and airports, and cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones, and accelerate the construction of Lanzhou as a node city for the China Europe freight train. Jilin proposed to promote higher-level opening up and build an important window for China to open up to the north and a hub for cooperation in Northeast Asia. Yunnan will solidly promote the construction of major transportation channels. The "Ethiopian Coffee National Promotion Experience Center" has settled in Shapingba District, and policies such as tax refunds for land transportation ports have been put into practice in Jiangjin District... Since the beginning of the year, Chongqing has been continuously opening up. The work report of Chongqing Municipal Government proposes to strive to form an industrial chain, supply chain, and logistics trade hub that connects the three major markets of Europe, China, and ASEAN by 2030. Huangpu, a member of the Chongqing Municipal Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Chongqing International Logistics Hub Company, said that with the continuous strengthening of inland open hub functions, hub cities are upgrading from simple geographical hubs to "rule hubs" and "industrial chain hubs", promoting the formation of a linkage between land, sea, and domestic markets, and a mutually beneficial east-west opening-up pattern. Institutional openness is an inevitable requirement for high-level opening-up to the outside world. Hainan is exploring the forefront form of institutional openness. When the Hainan Free Trade Port was fully closed for one month, more than 10000 new beneficiaries of the "zero tariff" policy were added, and the number of newly added foreign-funded enterprises increased by 13% year-on-year. In this year's Hainan Provincial Government Work Report, the high standard construction of Hainan Free Trade Port was placed in a key position in the "15th Five Year Plan" work. Kuang Xianming, a member of the Hainan Provincial Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute, stated that the island wide lockdown is a firm declaration by China to actively promote higher-level institutional opening-up in a complex international environment. From the perspective of local two sessions, many places have proposed to strengthen service capabilities through institutional innovation and continuously empower institutional openness. Fujian proposes to promote the expansion and quality improvement of pilot free trade zones, and deepen the reform of integrated management systems in development zones. Guangdong will deeply implement the strategy of upgrading the pilot free trade zone and optimize the pattern of opening up to the outside world. Not long after the beginning of the year, the China North (Teda) Indonesia Comprehensive Service Station was unveiled in Jakarta, providing comprehensive services such as investment consulting, enterprise registration, park and industrial resource docking for Chinese enterprises investing and operating in Indonesia. Hong Shicong, a representative of the Tianjin Municipal People's Congress and director of the Tianjin Economic Development Zone Management Committee, stated that in the future, we will further promote institutional innovation and transform it into practical capabilities to safeguard enterprises' "going global". By building an overseas comprehensive service system covering investment, operation, and development, we will help optimize the layout of China's industrial chain on a global scale. (New Society)
