Hainan's island-wide special customs operations explained in new guidebook

After the operations take effect, the group plans to promote "innovation-driven planning, digital-powered growth, and ocean-oriented development" to produce more quality works that explain policies, communicate ideas, and showcase the appeal of the FTP, Wu said.

David Ferguson, honorary chief English editor of Foreign Languages Press, which polished the English translation, said the Hainan FTP is a cornerstone of China's high-level opening-up strategy, and this publication is a timely and authoritative guide to the customs closure operation.
