Hainan, China’s tropical island paradise, is making waves beyond its beaches—and Governor Liu Xiaoming just dropped the blueprint! 🌊 In an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Liu Xin, the governor revealed how the province plans to transform into a global free trade hub while balancing sustainable tourism and high-tech innovation.
“Think of Hainan as the ‘Disneyland of free trade,’” Liu said, hinting at tax incentives for international businesses 🏢 and streamlined logistics to boost cross-border commerce. With 2023 seeing over 10 million tourists flock to the island (yes, the coconuts are worth the hype 🥥), the governor teased new eco-resorts and cultural festivals to keep travelers hitting ‘rebook.’
Tech enthusiasts, take note: Hainan’s also betting big on AI and green energy. Liu mentioned partnerships with startups to build “smart cities” powered by renewables ☀️—a vibe that aligns with the island’s carbon-neutrality pledge by 2035.
For young entrepreneurs eyeing Asia’s markets? Hainan’s open-door policies might just be your golden ticket. 💼
