Wang Changlin, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), announced that the free trade port will launch island-wide independent customs operation on December 18, 2025. The proportion of tariff lines with zero-tariff products in Hainan Free Trade Port will increase from 21 percent to 74 percent.
On June 10, 2021, the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress passed the Hainan Free Trade Port Law of the People's Republic of China, which determined to establish and improve the Hainan Free Trade Port customs supervision special zone system with closed-off customs operations on the entire island.
"With the independent customs operations, Hainan FTP is poised to become a key gateway for China's new era of opening up and innovation," Cai added. China's Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is set to launch an island-wide independent customs operation on Dec. 18, 2025, underscoring the country's wider push for high-standard opening up.
The Ministry of Commerce will make more efforts to support Hainan in aligning with high-standard international economic and trade rules, enhancing institutional openness, and fostering new growth drivers through targeted measures, Jiang said.
The deployment sits within Hainan’s free-trade zone, where China has relaxed regulations to allow full foreign ownership of data center and telecom operations. The project supports Hainan’s push to become a maritime and tech innovation hub, integrating marine science, digital services, and offshore infrastructure.
China’s Hainan underwater data center is a monumental experiment—one embedded with technological ambition, sustainability goals, and geopolitical strategy. While challenges abound—from marine maintenance to cost structures—the potential upside in cooling efficiency, infrastructure scalability, and carbon reduction is profound.
It is regarded as a special area for China to comprehensively deepen economic reform and experiment with the highest level of opening-up policies. Hainan Free Trade Port is not a seaport in the usual sense, but the entire Hainan Island is regarded as a special economic development area.
The "Notice on Preferential Corporate Income Tax Policies for Hainan Free Trade Port" proposed that enterprises in encouraged industries registered and operated in Hainan Free Trade Port shall be subject to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%.
Faced with energy transition objectives, the ten countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have technology options to decarbonize power sector. This study investigates the hypothetical decarbonization pathways for ASEAN’s power sector.
To facilitate investments in renewables in ASEAN, it is critical to overcoming the barriers in renewable energy legislation, energy governance, and business environment. 28 Cooperation through the ASEAN Power Grid brings economic benefits to the region as a whole, and thus improves the affordability for energy transition.
Here, we present an integrated power system capacity expansion model for ASEAN over 2018 – 2050. The results provide hypothetical pathways to decarbonize the ASEAN power sector while meeting the projected electricity demand by strategically pursuing renewable energy, carbon capture and sequestration, and cross-border transmission grids.
While fossil fuels dominate ASEAN power mix (accounting for 76%), hydroelectricity infrastructures are well developed in the region, providing 17% of the electricity. Other renewables account for the remaining 7% of the electricity production.

(2) Improving the implementation mechanism. Under the guidance of the Leading Group for Promoting Hainan to Further All-Round Reform and Opening up, Hainan Province must earnestly fulfill its main responsibilities, strengthen organizational leadership, and make every effort to make headway in the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.
For those investing in renewable energy, particularly solar power, the compatibility of solar energy storage cabinets is a key consideration. These systems are designed to store surplus energy generated by solar panels during the day for use when sunlight is unavailable, such as at night or during cloudy periods.
Effective solar energy storage cabinets seamlessly integrate with solar PV inverters and management systems, often featuring sophisticated software to optimize charging and discharging cycles based on generation patterns and household consumption.
A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of energy storage technology that uses a group of batteries in the grid to store electrical energy.
For systems designed for scalability, look for specific link ports (e.g., Link 1 & Link 0 as seen in products like the I-BOX 48100R) that facilitate enhanced connectivity for multi-unit installations, allowing your energy storage capacity to grow with your needs. Safety is non-negotiable when dealing with electrical systems.
