Hainan policies to welcome Taiwan investors

Hainan warmly welcomes Taiwan investors to join the island's economic development and hopes they benefit from the tropical province's comprehensive reforms, Hainan Governor Shen Xiaoming said on Friday.

Shen was speaking to a group of journalists representing 30 media groups from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

"Hainan is drafting policies jointly with the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and other relevant departments to encourage Taiwan compatriots and investors to join in the construction of the Hainan pilot free trade zone and free trade port," Shen told the reporters who were conducting on-site visits in special economic zones, including Shenzhen and Hainan, that have led the country's reform and opening-up over the past 40 years.
