Coastal hub upgraded in trade zone expansion
Shanghai’s free trade zone is being expanded to include Lingang on the city’s southeast coast, where Tesla is building its first overseas factory and the world’s largest planetarium is under construction.
The Ministry of Commerce and city officials on Tuesday formally announced that the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone will expand from 120 square kilometers to 240 square kilometers. It is the second expansion since the zone was created in September 2013.
Lingang will be given greater access to and control over autonomous development, autonomous reform and autonomous innovation, Wang Shouwen, vice commerce minister, told a press conference in Beijing.
