Hainan special customs operations: China's next era of opening-up

The launch of special customs operations is expected to redraw the island's economic contours, allowing goods, capital, data, and talent to circulate with unprecedented freedom and predictability. But its long-term significance may be best understood not through macroeconomic indicators, but through the opportunities it creates for ordinary enterprises with global ambitions.
