It can be understood that Hainan's economic system is separated from other provinces in Chinese mainland, but its political system and cultural level are the same as those of Chinese mainland, and the population of Hainan mainland can still move freely without a pass.
Closing customs and closing islands are two different concepts. Hong Kong, Macao and other places are only allowed to enter Hong Kong and Australia after customs clearance, and there is a time limit for staying. Such a policy towards Hong Kong and Macao is the policy of island closure, that is, the island closure area has a high degree of autonomy in politics, culture and economy, and other regions have little or no interference in its independent development.
The significance of customs clearance to the construction of Hainan free trade port
1, customs clearance will create conditions for the liberalization and facilitation of investment and trade and the free and convenient flow of production factors. The closure of Hainan will be conducive to the implementation of the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" and promote the layout of some areas controlled by the state such as education, science and technology, general health and medical treatment in Hainan.
2. Customs closure is an important sign that Hainan Free Trade Port has entered a new stage, and it is also a sign that Hainan Customs supervises the construction of special areas. After customs clearance, Hainan will also realize the policy of "domestic customs clearance", and the factors of production can flow freely. Except for a few commodities, there are no import duties on other commodities.
This customs clearance will bring new opportunities for industrial system cooperation and cultural exchange between Hainan and ASEAN countries. For example, in terms of personnel exchanges, the visa-free policy, the opening of air rights and the introduction of international talents will promote the free and convenient flow of personnel.
