The construction of a free trade port in Hainan can strengthen economic, trade and investment ties with BRI partner countries, especially ASEAN countries, enhance the level of opening up to the outside world and expand foreign trade.
"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.
Since the launch of the FTP initiative in 2020, Hainan has experienced a surge in foreign trade activities: Over 70,000 new foreign trade companies have been registered. These businesses have significantly contributed to the province’s growing role in international trade.
BEIJING, Aug. 8 -- 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 site - in the Bavarian municipality of Dittenheim, about 120km north of Munich - has been part-powered by energy from 12 sqm of solar modules installed more than a year ago. The two companies have since added a wind turbine, capable of providing up to five kilowatts of additional power, as a second renewable energy power source.
Wind power is a major source of electricity in Germany and the Energiewende (German for 'energy turnaround') that has phased out nuclear power in 2023. Domestic generation is about 60% renewable, half of that coming from wind.
As part of measures to increase wind power installations and usage, the Scholz cabinet adopted a law requiring Germany to set aside 2% of its total land area by 2032 for wind energy use. The 2010 "Energiewende" policy has been embraced by the German federal government and has resulted in a huge expansion of renewables, particularly wind power.

Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
Energy storage cabinets are crucial in modern energy systems, offering versatile solutions for energy management, backup power, and renewable energy integration. As technology advances, these systems will continue to evolve, providing more efficient and reliable energy storage solutions.
An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
Because power systems are balanced at the system level, no dedicated backup with energy storage is needed for any single technology. Storage is most economical when operated to maximise the economic benefit of an entire system. Don’t we need storage to reduce curtailment?
Africa commends China’s release of the Plan for China Supporting Africa’s Agricultural Modernization at the 2023 China-Africa Leaders’ Dialogue and notes with appreciation the joint efforts by China and the AU to compile the China-Africa Cooperation Planning and Action Plan for Agricultural Modernization.
To support Africa in accelerating modernization, China has launched plans and initiatives focusing on three key areas: industrialization, agricultural modernization and talent development, yielding tangible results. FUELING AFRICA'S INDUSTRIALIZATION
By Tianyi Wu For those suggesting China has disengaged from its cooperation with Africa, Chinese leader Xi Jinping sent a clear message at the recent ninth Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC): China is reaffirming its commitment to support 'modernization' in African countries, offering its own development model as an example.
Efforts will be made to encourage two-way investment for new business operations by Chinese and African companies, enable Africa to retain added value, and create at least 1 million jobs for Africa. In terms of people-to-people exchanges, China will establish an engineering technology academy and build 10 Luban Workshops with Africa.
