According to the report of Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, Zhou Hanmin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, president of Shanghai Institute of Socialism, and director of Shanghai China Vocational Education Service, paid particular attention to the development of the pilot free trade zone during the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year. He suggested that the pilot free trade zone further promote institutional opening, constantly run out of the acceleration of opening up and reform practice, and become a pioneer of Chinese path to modernization.

"Every step taken in the construction of the pilot free trade zone is worth summarizing. After ten years of building the foundation, we need to take new steps in reform, open up and promote new areas, and show the bright prospects of Chinese path to modernization." To this end, Zhou Hanmin put forward three suggestions: first, further promote institutional opening. At present, international economic and trade rules are undergoing profound and complex changes, presenting a trend of higher requirements for liberalization and facilitation. China's Pilot Free Trade Zone has made valuable explorations in the areas of free trade, investment, capital, transportation, personnel and information, and has achieved remarkable results. However, there is still room for further improvement in data circulation, tax supervision and other aspects. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

"We should promote the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and deeply connect with the high-level international economic and trade rules such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (CPTPP) and the Digital Economic Partnership Agreement (DEPA). In particular, with the advent of the digital era, the pilot free trade zone should speed up its pioneering efforts in key areas such as data authentication, privacy protection, and cross-border data flow." Zhou Hanmin said.

The second is to strengthen the guarantee of the rule of law. On the basis of full investigation and demonstration, systematically summarize the experience, practice and measures of the construction of the pilot free trade zone, formulate the national pilot free trade zone law, solidify the reform breakthrough of the pilot free trade zone in the way of rule of law, and observe and report the import and export data of Huacheng.

Third, establish a linkage mechanism. At present, the domestic pilot free trade zones cover the east, west, north and south. As a national strategy, we should make forward-looking strategic arrangements and integrate the resources of different regions. We should not only highlight the characteristics and strengths of each exhibition, but also form joint forces and complement each other. There are several pilot free trade zones in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Great Bay. We can explore to take the lead in building a unified market access system in the three regions, establish a big factor trading market, and promote the market-oriented reform of the prices of land, capital, labor, data and other production factors.

Zhou Hanmin added that we should also pay attention to and adapt to the new international economic and trade rules in the field of digital trade, including product copyright, anti-theft software, open source code, data circulation, information protection, digital trading, unfair competition There are clear regulatory requirements for the protection of trade secrets and the taxation of digital products.
