For example， the overall plan for Tianjin free trade zone described “Tianjin leads the innovation of leasing industry policy， forms a developing environment of leasing industry with international standards， and speeds up the establishment of a demonstration area for leasing innovation in China.”

Further Opening
Meanwhile， the four free trade zones will be further opened. According to Wang Shouwen， the four free trade zones will take a unified and more convenient register system of foreign investors’ establishment and alteration which matched with negative list management pattern.
Wang Shouwen said the newly released negative list has 122 special management measures， significantly less than Shanghai free trade zone’s 139 and the first negative list’s 190. Compared with 2015 catalogue for guidance of foreign investment which generally applied in China， the negative list cancelled or relaxed limitations in 18 fields. In general， openness is greatly increased. Huo Jianguo， a researcher of the Ministry of Commerce said that according to the new negative list， manufacturing industry and service industry all have new open contents. In free trade zone， the openness of financial industry is relatively conservative， but general manufacturing industry is basically opened completely. It’s expected that foreign investment will see an obvious growth in manufacturing industry and service industry.
Each Free Trade Zone has Its Own Focus
Although openness and target are similar， the four free trade zones each has its own focus： Guangdong free trade zone focuses on promoting closer economic cooperation between inland China and Hong Kong & Macao； Tianjin free trade zone focuses on a coordinated development of Beijing， Tianjin and Hebei； Fujian free trade zone focuses on deepening the crossstrait economic cooperation； Shanghai free trade zone continue to take lead in trade and investment facilitation， currency convertibility， efficient regulation and rule of laws.
“Under CEPA （Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement）， Guangdong， Hong Kong and Macao basically realized free trade of the service this year， had 160 service trade departments. And this year Guangdong free trade zone opened 153 to Hong Kong and Macao， which is its own merit.” Wang Shouwen said.

Cheng Jun， general manager of trade finance department of the Bank of China’s head office said， Shanghai free trade zone’s capital exploration project can help build international financial center； Guangdong free trade zone develops GuangdongHong Kong-Macao cross border capital channel to support liberation of service trade； Tianjin free trade zone upgrades manufacturing industry through developing financial lease industry； Fujian free trade zone focuses on promote cross-strait financial industry trial. According to the overall plans， the new free trade zone pattern includes more pilot contents， and will open a new way to the reform and opening up. But its implementation involves multiple departments related to management system， industrial & commercial registration and custom clearance. It requires for learning more from Shanghai free trade zone’s experiences， implementing these measures as quickly as possible， and promoting them in a larger scale， in this way， a higher level of openness and a new economic growth point will be formed in China， which can ensure a steady economic growth in China.
Will China have more free trade zones？
In recent two years， more regions in China are applying for free trade zones. In terms of this， Wang Shouwen said， the four free trade zones will be fully assessed after being operated for a period of time， the major work now is to prove that the free trade zone can be copied and be promoted as an innovation nationwide instead of building more and more free trade zones.
“Nowadays， free trade zones are no longer a ‘bottomland’ for policy. In free trade zones， there is no policy about tax preference.” Wang Shouwen said. Unlike special economic zones， besides emphasizing on opening up and system innovation， free trade zones particularly stressing on during/after regulations， as well as risk prevention & control system.
According to the State Council’s overall plan， the four free trade zones are all required for leading the reform and opening up， and building a new highland for China’s reform and opening up.
In order to build a new highland for reform and opening up， laws and regulations related to free trade zones are all modified correspondingly. According to the State Council’s plan， NPC （ National People’s Congress ） has authorized the State Council to temporarily modify administrative approvals as described in‘Law of the People’s Republic of China on Foreign Capital Enterprises’， ‘The Law of the PRC on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures’， ‘Law of the People’s Republic of China on Sino-Foreign Contractual Joint Ventures’ and ‘Rules for implementation of the law of The People’s Republic of China on protection of investments by Taiwan compatriots’， and the trial implementation will be made in Guangdong， Tianjin and Fujian free trade zones from March 1st， 2015 to February 28th， 2018， and also authorized local governments in Guangdong， Tianjin and Fujian to make detailed rules support the implementation. Rules and regulations for the free trade zones should be made through local legislation. Free Trade Zones Benefit Ordinary People

Haitao tribe （people who buy overseas things online） in free trade zones can directly buy things at overseas Haitao websites， enjoy the same price， and can even pay by Ren Min Bi. The goods will be shipped from free trade zones directly. It can not only save buyers’ time， but also save buyers’ money since the imported goods in free trade zones are 10%-30% cheaper than those in other place of China. The price of imported goods in free trade zones is really very low.
Since free trade zones are committed to build an international， legalized and market-oriented business environment， it will definitely has a high demand for high-level talents. In addition， since market access is lowered， foreign-funded enterprises in free trade zones increased， which creates more and more opportunities for working in foreign ventures.
