Exclusive: What Free Trade Port means to Hainan

Chi Fulin, head of Hainan-based China Institute for Reform and Development, opened up to China Daily as he expressed his concerns and passion for Hainan's development in an interview.

Chi explained how Hainan, a southern tropical island, can benefit from the Free Trade Port on the sidelines of the Boao Forum For Asia that concluded on Friday.

Sitting down together with China Daily reporter Chen Bowen, Chi said he has seen both the forum and the Free Trade Port as impetus for Hainan's future as a trade hub in RCEP.
