HAIKOU, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- China's Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is preparing for island-wide special customs operations, a major milestone in the opening-up drive of the world's second-largest economy despite rising protectionism worldwide.

As the "experimental field" of the Hainan FTP, the 13 key industrial parks within the port have become significant drivers of Hainan's economic growth. In the first three quarters of 2025, the 13 key industrial parks achieved a revenue of 1,992.451 billion yuan (about 282.427 billion U.S. dollars), representing a year-on-year increase of 4.1%.
