海南和台湾是我国的两大宝岛,同处在亚太经济圈的中心地带,其土地面积、地理环境、自然条件、文化背景都有很大的相似。迅速发展海南经济,发挥海南在解决台湾问题上的特殊作用,是邓小平提出创办海南经济特区的战略目标,赋予了海南经济大特区特殊的历史使命。 Hainan and Taiwan are two of the island’s most important islands in the country. They are all located in the center of the Asia-Pacific Economic Circle with great similarities in land area, geographical environment, natural conditions and cultural background. The rapid development of Hainan’s economy and the special role played by Hainan in settling the Taiwan issue are the strategic goals set by Deng Xiaoping for the establishment of the Hainan Special Economic Zone and given the special historical mission of Hainan’s special economic zone.
