上海自贸区今年24项重点工作划定 - 2017年04月13日

NOW in its fourth year, the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone is moving from its initial experimental phase into more nitty-gritty areas of economic and financial reforms.

The State Council, China’s cabinet, last month approved a new phase of development, further relaxing regulations on commercial transactions and foreign investment.

Shanghai has listed 24 “missions” for the Free Trade Zone as part of its efforts to transform the city into an investment and financial hub for the national “Belt and Road” initiative — the 21st century version of the Old Silk Road linking East and West.
