Xinhua Silk Road: Hainan builds foreign investment-friendly environment with proactive governance

BEIJING, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025, discussions in multiple languages echoed across packed venues. Over 1,000 guests from more than 60 countries and regions gathered to witness the new chapter of openness in the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP).

“Investing in Hainan is investing in China, while investing in China is investing in the future” has become a shared belief.

Carl F. Fey, professor of strategy at BI Norwegian Business School, said that the island-wide zero-tariff policy following the FTP’s independent customs operations will significantly reduce costs for businesses.

Ben Simpfendorfer, a partner at the leading international management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, noted that Hainan’s unique customs system is becoming a key gateway between China and the Global South.

Hainan regards reform as a top priority in its drive to build a first-class business environment.

Wang Xuehao, deputy head of the Hainan Provincial Department of Business Environment Development, said that Hainan has formulated a series of opening-up measures to create a “foreign investment-friendly” business environment and streamlined full-process services for foreign nationals.

As a witness to Hainan’s development, Swire Coca-Cola’s operations in the province have spanned 36 years. The company’s newly established supply chain management firm, which settled in Hainan in 2023, has truly benefited from policy dividends such as the “double 15 percent” tax incentives.

By the end of 2024, the province was home to 9,979 foreign-funded enterprises, with 77.3 percent established after the launch of the FTP. The number of countries and regions investing in Hainan has surged from 43 to over 170.

Now, Hainan is preparing a series of major events to translate the blueprint of its modern industrial system into more cross-border collaborations and accelerate its path toward high-level opening-up.

State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company has been actively implementing specialized initiatives to ensure stable power supply for tea enterprises and farmers

CHANGZHOU, China, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, with the 10,000-mu tea gardens in Maoshan, Jintan District, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province entering the peak season for spring tea production, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company has proactively provided forward-looking services. The company has coordinated local power supply departments to conduct specialized power assurance actions for tea enterprises and farmers, ensuring reliable power supply to preserve traditional tea-making techniques and assist farmers in capitalizing on the critical production period.

As a key tea-producing base in Jiangsu Province, Maoshan plays a significant role in the local economy through its spring tea production. To meet electricity demands during the tea-picking and processing season, the local power supply department has developed a tailored power assurance plan based on the operational characteristics of tea enterprises and farmers, prioritizing electricity allocation for tea processing. Staff members from the power supply company conducted on-site inspections of tea-frying equipment, meticulously examining related circuits, switches, and heating elements, while promptly addressing potential safety hazards. Additionally, drones and infrared thermometers were utilized to inspect power supply lines, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. While providing technical services, the staff also actively engaged with tea farmers to understand their electricity needs, answered questions on-site, and offered guidance and technical support.

Moving forward, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company will continue to monitor the electricity requirements of tea enterprises and farmers, optimize power supply services, and leverage historical load distribution data from previous spring tea processing seasons to provide dependable power and high-quality services. This ensures that “green leaves” are transformed into “golden leaves,” contributing to rural revitalization efforts.

Guardians of living history: how Hikvision is preserving an ancient covered bridge constructed in 1574

HANGZHOU, China, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The arch-covered bridges in China’s Zhejiang Province are cultural treasures of the world. Unfortunately, being constructed from wood, they are highly vulnerable to fire hazards. Now, thanks to Hikvision, one of these — the world-famous Lanxi Bridge — is safer than ever before.

Guardians of living history: how Hikvision is preserving an ancient covered bridge constructed in 1574
Guardians of living history: how Hikvision is preserving an ancient covered bridge constructed in 1574

Built at the end of the 16th century, the Lanxi Bridge is the largest single-span ancient covered bridge in China. Like the others, Lanxi Bridge is constructed with zero nails or steel, using traditional Chinese mortise and tenon joints. These designs have been recognized by UNESCO for their global contribution to culture.

A single spark can destroy centuries

At 5:30 a.m., 75-year-old Wang Jiawu begins his daily routine. For three decades, he has patrolled the Lanxi Bridge, tirelessly checking for damage, weathering, and hidden dangers. Sometimes, he does this four times a night.

However, not all bridges are as fortunate as the Lanxi Bridge. In August 2022, the millennial Wan’an Bridge in Fujian was reduced to ashes in a blink. “I was extremely shocked,” recalls Chen Huacheng, head of the Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of Qingyuan County.

After learning cultural heritage protection in college, he returned to his hometown and endeavored to protect these ancient bridges. Here, he faced a stark reality: Qingyuan has over 130 ancient covered bridges, but only a handful of these have guardians like Wang Jiawu. “Wooden bridges are fragile,” he says. “A single spark can easily erase hundreds of years of history.”

Modern innovation preserves ancient legacy

Learning of the situation, Hikvision offered to support this treasured yet fragile bridge with its STAR Program for Social Good. Through this program, Hikvision offers technological support to NGOs dedicated to community, nature and culture. This is how, in 2024, the Lanxi Bridge underwent a ‘digital rebirth’.

Several Hikvision technologies were used to protect the bridge against fires. Multispectral fire detectors are installed at four locations to ensure comprehensive protection of the entire bridge. These detectors enhance visible and thermal imaging technologies with infrared flame detection, enabling them to penetrate darkness and detect even the slightest temperature anomalies. Meanwhile, the fire prevention solution can automatically alert individuals smoking on the bridge to stop and immediately notify conservators to conduct onsite inspections.  

A letter to tomorrow

“The Hikvision technologies provide assurance for our conservation work, and also relieve the pressure on our conservators,” said Chen. “By integrating Hikvision’s fire prevention technology with traditional craftsmanship, we ensure that these treasures are well-preserved and will be passed on to future generations.”
