Hainan's Closure to Foreign Investment Accelerates Layout

On December 18, 2025, the entire Hainan Free Trade Port officially commenced closed-loop operations, prompting foreign enterprises to increase investments. On the first day of closure, Siemens Energy, a Fortune 500 company, established a new company in Yangpu and simultaneously broke ground on a gas turbine assembly base and service center, with the project scheduled to commence operations in 2027. Belgium's PB Leiner Gelatin Group is also upgrading its production lines; its global equipment director stated that Hainan's geographical location and policy benefits from the closed-loop operation help products reach markets across mainland China and Asia. Hainan's policies such as "zero tariffs" and its business environment have made it a hotspot for foreign investment.
