-- On June 13, a salon titled "An Invitation from Hainan to Connect with Global Insights: Visions on FTP" was held in Haikou. The event coincided with the six-month landmark of the full implementation of the island-wide special customs operations for the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP). Three leading international finance and economics content creators, along with an international relations expert, were invited to observe Hainan at a close distance and offer recommendations from a global perspective, presenting to the world a vivid picture of China's deepened reform, opening-up, and high-quality development.
During the session titled "My Top Discoveries About the Hainan Free Trade Port," three international guests shared their observations and discoveries after a week-long field trip. They visited the Haikou National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Ecologic Software Park, Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, and Sanya Central Business District, and also watched the launch of a Long March 5 rocket. In their themed speeches, the three guests shared their own discoveries of the development of FTP over the past six months of special customs operations.
Rocky Xu, a finance and business content creator, making a themed speech
Rocky Xu, a finance and business content creator with over 770,000 high-net-worth subscribers on YouTube, is called "Wall Street Narrator" by netizens. He analyzed Hainan's institutional innovations from the perspective of capital flow. He noted that over the past six months, the industrial development models in parks like the Ecologic Software Park and Haikou High-tech Zone are increasingly attracting global capital aimed at long-term investment.
Jannelize Bessenger, a lifestyle and business environment content creator, making a themed speech
Jannelize Bessenger (Lizzy), a South African video creator with over 700,000 followers across platforms, has lived in China for seven years. As one of the first foreign creators to share authentic Chinese experiences, she talked about her perceptions and observations in Hainan since the implementation of the special customs operations. "The policies aren't cold documents,” she said. “They're the openness and efficiency I can feel every day."
Josef Gregory Mahoney is a professor of international relations at East China Normal University. He analyzed the international political and economic landscape, pointing out that the smooth implementation of Hainan's special customs operations over the past six months demonstrates China's resolve and capability for high-level institutional opening-up.
In the afternoon, the inaugural taping of “V-Table Talk” serial financial talk show began. Five Chinese and international guests, finance and business content creator Rocky Xu, lifestyle and business environment content creator Jannelize Bessenger (Lizzy), international relations expert Josef Gregory Mahoney, and HIMC’s two special overseas communication ambassadors, engaged in in-depth discussions. Topics included turning climate resources into industrial competitiveness, investment ratings for capital markets, transforming intangible assets into cultural tourism IP, and the micro-economics of sports events.
The program will be transmitted through the matrix of domestic and international media networks under the New Media Center for Hainan Broadcasting Station and via the guests' own personal social media channels.
Prior to the salon, the Chinese and international guests conducted a five-day field visit across Hainan. They toured key parks and projects, including the Haikou National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, the Ecologic Software Park, Hainan Tropical Automobile Test Co., the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, and the Sanya Central Business District. They also watched the launch of a Long March 5 rocket at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center. This tour provided a multi-faceted view of Hainan’s transition from "policy implementation" to the “production of tangible impact" after six months of FTP’s special customs operations.
