In recent years, although the epidemic has repeatedly ravaged, new terms of international trade such as "border crossing", "staged driving" and so on continue to appear in the relevant news of colorful Yunnan, and news about the cooperation with Southeast Asian countries in establishing scientific and technological cooperation bases, joint research and development centers and other aspects has been reported from time to time. Yunnan, a frontier place that has always attracted the attention of tourists, is gradually becoming the forefront of reform and opening up, and its innovation strength and attitude are impressive. At the 42nd press conference of the "Yunnan Decade" series held recently: the special conference of Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone, the relevant departments focused on the construction progress of Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone in the past three years, especially the many highlights in system innovation.

Huang Zhonghua, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Department of Commerce of Yunnan Province and the assistant director of the Office of the Leading Group for China (Yunnan) Pilot Free Trade Zone, said that Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone, based on cross-border characteristics along the border, has formed 276 institutional innovation achievements around 159 reform pilot tasks, which are concentrated in five aspects:

Adhere to the role of "national nursery", realize the organic integration of "national initiative" and "border and cross-border", and form 53 innovation achievements of border and cross-border characteristic systems, 46 of which are the first in Yunnan. For example, a breakthrough innovation, efficient and convenient cross-border automobile insurance service model can reduce the premium burden to 1/7 of the regular insurance policy at most; Explore the cross-border transportation mode of "staged driving"; Build a third-party traceability system for imported agricultural and sideline products to achieve traceability of the source and flow of goods; A total of two transnational corporations have completed the filing of the "facilitation of the centralized operation of transnational corporations' cross-border funds", and have transferred US $137 million from overseas member enterprises to their domestic parent companies in the form of foreign debts.

Highlighting the "backward market forces", we have achieved remarkable results in solving market blockages, corporate pain points and opening difficulties. For example, the online guarantee free financing of the international trade "single window" platform only takes five working days from the enterprise account opening to the financing landing; The online application for the establishment, change and cancellation of registration of enterprises in Yunnan Province realizes the authentication method of "blockchain cloud signature"; The "new settlement model of border residents' mutual market" solved the problems of authenticity of transactions and declarations, and difficulty in price review, and promoted the growth of the types of international trade commodities and trade volume of border residents' mutual market; The "jadeite transaction specification platform" has improved the supervision efficiency of live broadcast transactions of non elevation value commodities, effectively supervising more than 1200 live broadcast businesses and more than 20000 employees.

Highlighting the main lines of national development strategy, such as "making good use of rules" and building a service radiation center. For example, the pilot project of international trade adjustment assistance was carried out to help the healthy development of the sugar industry, to help 162900 registered sugar farmers get rid of poverty, and to help 32 national poor counties of sugarcane planting get rid of poverty; The supply chain management of sugar industry in Yunnan Province has been effectively improved, and the sugar industry has tried to carry out point-to-point transportation, "sea rail combined transportation" and other transportation modes; We will promote a diversified mechanism for handling cross-border conflicts and achieve a success rate of more than 85% in mediating disputes involving foreign issues.

Highlight "advantageous fields", and integrate innovation in biology, medicine, talents and other fields. Cooperate with South and Southeast Asian countries to implement projects such as "Joint Research Center for Lancang Mekong Agricultural Biosafety", "International Science and Technology Cooperation Base for Coffee Fine Variety Breeding", "Joint Laboratory for Agricultural and Forestry Crop Germplasm Resources with Chinese and Laos Characteristics", "China Myanmar Myitkyina Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park", and cooperate in fields such as germplasm resource mining and utilization, crop breeding, demonstration of modern agricultural breeding technology, cross-border disease prevention and control. The "Wisdom Gathering Yunnan" plan was implemented. The first batch of 44 young scientists and entrepreneurs from South and Southeast Asian countries in the fields of crop planting, breeding, disease prevention and control were introduced to Yunnan to carry out research, innovation and entrepreneurship. Ten professional and technical personnel training courses were organized to cultivate young technical personnel for South and Southeast Asian countries. 12 international science and technology special commissioners were sent to South and Southeast Asian countries to carry out technical guidance services for agricultural breeding and accelerate the "going global" of agricultural technology and technical standards.

Highlighting "regional linkage", the superposition of advantages and the role of gravity drive are constantly released. Guided by the Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone, we will work with the national high-tech industrial development zone, economic and technological development zone and other development and opening platforms in Yunnan Province to strengthen "innovation coordination", "industry coordination" and "policy coordination". We will strengthen empowerment and decentralization, orderly promote the simultaneous decentralization of provincial management authority according to law, and improve the ability of the Linked Innovation Zone to undertake provincial management authority. Accelerate the trusteeship and joint construction mode of Mohan Town, Kunming Xishuangbanna Prefecture, with the "provincial capital+port" as the core, seize the major historical opportunity for the opening and operation of the China Laos Railway, and provide an effective carrier and strong support for Yunnan's construction of a radiation center facing South Asia and Southeast Asia. Learn from the successful experience and innovative measures of Hainan Free Trade Port, Shanghai, Guangdong and other pilot free trade zones, and promote the innovation of development concept and development mode of Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone. We will strengthen economic and trade exchanges and cooperation with other pilot free trade zones, explore new cooperation models in the areas of corridor transportation, multimodal transport, industrial upgrading, etc., actively undertake the transfer of high-quality industries in coastal pilot free trade zones, cooperate to jointly build characteristic industrial parks, explore the establishment of an interactive cooperation and benefit sharing mechanism between pilot free trade zones, and achieve resource integration, element sharing, and industrial upgrading.

"Next, the Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone will further deepen reform and innovation, comprehensively plan and promote the implementation of the Yunnan Pilot Free Trade Zone's plan for deepening reform and opening up (Version 2.0)." Huang Zhonghua said.
