Analysis on the Influence of the Establishment of Hainan Free Trade Zone on the Economic Cooperation between Guangxi and ASEAN

摘要

In October 2018, the CPC central committee and the state council issued the guidance on supporting Hainan to comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, marking a new step in the process of opening up to the outside world. The construction of Hainan pilot free trade zone has brought a series of challenges and opportunities to the development of Guangxi Beibu Gulf economic zone across the sea (bay). The construction of Hainan free trade zone will be conducive to bringing into play the coordinating role of the two places, strengthening the interconnection between the two places, promoting innovation and promoting the development of high and new technologies. The CPC central committee fully supports Hainan to deepen reform and opening up, which is unparalleled in Guangxi. Therefore, Guangxi must seize a new round of opportunities, face up to the challenges from Hainan free trade zone, optimize development structure, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and strengthen the trade links and connectivity with ASEAN, so as to push the economic development of Guangxi to a new level.
