The spelling is how to innovate and how to play. Every free trade zone will have different experiments.
Since the Beibu Gulf strategy rose to the national strategy, this sentence has been constantly echoing in the wave of "Beibu Gulf Economic Zone has become the vanguard of accelerating Guangxi's development". It vividly condenses the people's mental state of striving for self-improvement and being the first, and also refines and sublimates the unswerving development theme of Guangxi in the new era, new century and new historical conditions. This development theme is characterized by "catching up with and catching up with" developed areas. At present, the grand idea of establishing "Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone" is on the paper. Taking "Shanghai Free Trade Zone" as an example, it copies and draws lessons from its successful experience to help Guangxi catch up with developed regions in the next decade or two, and finally achieve catch-up and leapfrog.
The future "Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone" will shoulder an extraordinary historical mission. Since its concept appeared, it has been highly anticipated. Although it finally appeared later than Shanghai Free Trade Zone, it has its outstanding characteristics as a rising star. In my opinion, it has three advantages different from Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
1. "Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone" takes the Beibu Gulf Economic Circle as the hinterland, directly enjoys the extensive support of policies, funds, manpower and material resources given by the national level strategy (Beibu Gulf Strategy), and is also the direct beneficiary of the preferential policies for the development of the western region. The combination of the Beibu Gulf strategy and the western development policy will inevitably produce the effect of "1+1>" and "2", creating and creating unparalleled innate superior conditions and ecological atmosphere for the Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone.
Second, the Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone has a unique location advantage, and it is the only free trade zone along the border and coast in China. Moreover, the Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone will become an upgraded version and an elite version of the main "sea passage" that Guangxi has been striving to build, and it will also become the latest base and fulcrum for all-round docking, opening up, cooperation and exchanges between Guangxi and even China and ASEAN countries. In the future, it will undertake and build the logistics industry chain in the whole western region and become the most critical and important link in the whole chain.
Third, "high starting point, new supporting facilities and excellent technology" will be the distinctive feature of "Beibu Gulf Free Trade Zone". While learning from the successful experience of Shanghai Free Trade Zone, it is not completely copied, but "shine on you is better than blue". We will make full use of new technologies, new processes and new means to develop. First of all, strive for a "high starting point" in hardware, high standards, high compatibility and high end, or set up first-class universities, scientific research institutions, financial centers and other related supporting units; In terms of software, a large number of talents are recruited by setting very favorable treatment conditions, and "think tanks" and experts and scholars are organized to make suggestions for the free trade zone.
