Special Area, Special Initiative
Shanghai’s Pilot Free Trade Zone gets an innovative opening-up addition By Wang Jun
The Lin-gang Special Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) was offi cially unveiled on August 20 after an overall plan was issued by the State Council on August 6. The special area is one of the measures for advancing further opening up initiated by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the First China International Import Expo in November 2018.
According to the plan, the special area will be located south of the Dazhi River, east of Jinhui Port, on Xiaoyangshan Island and south of the Pudong International Airport. A section covering 119.5 square km that includes Nanhui New Town, the Lingang Industrial Area, Xiaoyangshan Island and south of the Pudong International Airport will be launched fi rst.
玉米是高产作物，需肥量较大，基肥以有机肥为主，每公顷15吨左右。每公顷施磷酸二铵150kg，硫酸钾100kg，尿素380kg，其中磷钾肥以种肥为主，氮肥的2/3作追肥；也可用养分数量相当的复合肥；或根据当地土壤肥力状况，测土配方施肥。基肥在播种前施用，种肥在播种时分层施到种子下5-10cm；追肥时期为6月下旬，追肥方法为创坑深追和垄沟深追，刨坑深追肥部位应在距植株根10～15cm处，追肥深度为12～15cm，施肥时要注意将施肥沟耢平。
“The establishment of the special area demonstrates China’s stand on all-around opening up and takes the initiative in leading the sound development of economic globalization,” said Li Qiang, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, at the inauguration ceremony of the Lin-gang Special Area.
Expansion and progress
He Wanpeng, head of the Shanghai Qiantan New Industry Research Institute, said Shanghai took the lead in the country in setting up a pilot FTZ. At the time, the FTZ focused on facilitation of investment, trade, fi nancing and supervision. But in the plan for the special area, the focus will shift to liberalization.
夜渐渐地深了，凉棚里也安静了下来，亲友们都找到了躺处，姗姗离去；最后只剩下三五个至亲零零散散地坐在外面打瞌睡，但没有看见高木，他大概回麦村去了。黄方永玩累了，像煨灶猫一样缩在母亲的怀里。小家伙浑身是汗，头发湿搭搭的。桃花轻轻地抱起他，去了里屋，把他放在自己的小床上。小家伙着床时呜咿了几声，在桃花的轻拍下，终于甜甜地入睡了。
“The plan carries out the requirement of high-quality development, is set to match international standards and hold the bottom line of risk control,” said Wang Shouwen, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy China International Trade Representative, at a press briefi ng held by the State Council Information Offi ce (SCIO) on August 6.

“Covering a large and interconnected area, the Lin-gang Special Area has favorable conditions for attracting key investment projects, which will be of great signifi cance to improving China’s industrial competitiveness and enhancing the country’s science and technology innovation capability amid a complicated and volatile external environment,” Yin Chen, Secretary General of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone Comprehensive Research Institute with Fudan University, told Xinhua.
“The change of one word indicates that China has made substantive leaps in expanding opening up,” He told People’s Daily.
通过本文的研究，分析了采用不同护理模式的实际应用情况。研究结果表明：当采用全程健康教育模式对患者进行护理时，临床护理过程中不良事件出现的概率为27.91%；而采用全程健康教育模式与风险护理联合的方式，护理过程中出现不良事件的概率仅为6.98%。这一数据足以表明全程健康教育模式联合风险护理在心血管护理管理中的具有十分良好的应用效果。
“The special area is not simply an expansion of the pilot FTZ, it is a fundamental institutional innovation in all rounds and at higher levels,” said Chen Yin, Executive Vice Mayor of Shanghai, at the press briefi ng.
Amid the rise of trade protectionism, the creation of the special area demonstrates the country’s firm determination to expand opening up and will serve the future development of the Shanghai FTZ and promote the high-quality development of China, said Zhang Jianping, head of the Center for Regional Economic Cooperation of the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation under the Ministry of Commerce, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency.
The area will be built into a special economic function zone with global infl uence and competitiveness to better serve the country’s overall opening-up strategy.
机会主义和政治生态建设之间存在着必然的联系。强调政治生态建设，目的在于在体制内重新塑造讲长远、顾大局、实事求是的价值观，在党员干部中营造“实干兴邦”的干事创业氛围，反对机会主义的投机取巧和短视行为正是政治生态建设的题中之义。
New opportunities
Under the plan, the special area will feature free investment, free trade, free flow of capital and free employment.
A highly competitive taxation system and policies will be adopted. According to the plan, corporate income tax will be reduced by 15 percent within fi ve years of establishment for qualified businesses in manufacturing as well as research and development in key fi elds such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, biomedicine and civil aviation. In comparison, the standard corporate income tax rate for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises in China is now 25 percent.

Compared to previously established FTZs, the special area has clearer and higher positioning and more diversified strategic tasks, highlighting industrial development, Wang explained.

Breakthroughs
The special area is set to match the standards of the most competitive FTZs in the world, implement opening-up policies and systems with strong global market competitiveness and intensify the risk stress test for the open economy system, said the State Council plan.
“By accelerating the establishment of systems that adopt international rules, the special area will better meet the demand of transforming from opening up based on free flows of commodities and factors to rule-based institutional opening up,” Wang said.
Zhou Guoping, Deputy Director of the Development Research Center of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, told the online media outlet ThePaper.cn that the existing areas of the Shanghai FTZ focus more on trade and investment facilitation measures featuring simplified procedures and a reduction in costs, while the special area will stress liberalization and seek to make groundbreaking institutional innovation on a deeper level.

Liberalization and facilitation have an essential difference, said Sun Yunxin, Deputy Director of the Research Institute for the Shanghai FTZ at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, in an interview with People’s Daily.
According to Sun, facilitation means the relaxation of existing restrictive policies and the coordination of different government departments, while liberalization means the promotion of comprehensive free flows of production factors, which requires completely new management systems concerning the free flow of capital, technologies, personnel and information. This will stimulate some key reforms in the special area, bringing great advances to reform and opening up in Shanghai and the entire country.
“It is expected that China’s opening up will be strengthened and accelerated,” Wang Xiaosong, a research fellow with the National Academy of Development and Strategy of Renmin University of China, told Xinhua.
However, risks brought about by a higher level of opening up should not be ignored, Zhou said. In his opinion, there are two major risks in the opening up of the special area, namely, the movement of goods and personnel, and the cross-border flow of capital. He suggested authorities design multidimensional risk management systems and provide measures such as making credit ratings an important basis for enterprises to enjoy favorable policies, which will be conducive to improving the capability of risk prevention.
