Companies gain from favorable policies in pilot FTZs, shutdown of foreign shipyards
China s ship repair and maintenance sector will see a robust period this year, thanks to favorable policies in the pilot free trade zones and the shutdown of several foreign shipyards for COVID-19 prevention requirements, industry experts said.
Like maintenance services for family vehicles, this kind of work is essential to keep mechanical equipment or machinery running smoothly on a ship. Be it a large structure or a small machine, efficient maintenance can prolong the life of such equipment.

From seashells to a specialized zone dedicated to free trade, China s border province bears witness to an ever-deepening relations between the country and ASEAN.
A handful of seashells are on display in a museum in southwest China s border province of Yunnan, recording the country s past history of international communication.
Archaeologists believe that the seashells, imported from South and Southeast Asia over 2,000 years ago, were used as both currency and an important commodity in Yunnan.
There may be more changes to China s business environment than you thought.
Over the past years, China has shortened negative lists for market access, attracting more international brands to enter the world s largest consumer market. The ceiling of statutory damages of intellectual property rights (IPR) infringement was raised higher, and the country s overall tariff level was lowered. These moves help stabilize foreign enterprises confidence and investment.
Figures speak for themselves. Foreign direct investment (FDI) into the Chinese mainland, in actual use, expanded 6.2 percent year on year to a record high of 999.98 billion yuan in 2020. In U.S. dollar terms, the inflow went up 4.5 percent year on year to 144.37 billion dollars, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said Wednesday.
