Fujian FTZ opens up region to the world

The China (Fujian) Pilot Free Trade Zone, composed of Fuzhou, Xiamen and Pingtan, is a pilot area for deepening reform and opening-up, promoting cross-Straits communication and spurring cooperation with countries and regions along the maritime Silk Road.

Since its establishment on April 21, 2015, it has become a strong engine for the development of East China's Fujian province.

Despite an unfavorable global economy, Fujian performed well in foreign trade in 2015 with a 0.7 percent increase in exports year-on-year.
