Free-Trade Pilot Program Expanded to Tianjin, Fujian and Guangdong

(Beijing) – Three new free-trade zones opened in several cities along the coastal provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, and Tianjin municipality, in a renewed push to build on a model that debuted in Shanghai.

In March, President Xi Jinping urged the government to quicken the pace of free-trade zone (FTZ) expansion during the annual meetings of the legislature and top political advisory body.
