Premier Li Keqiang visited Xiamen, part of the newly-inaugurated China (Fujian) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ), on April 22, in a show of support and encouragement for the zone’s development.

The visit was also to learn more about the success of administrative streamlining and reform of commercial registrations in the zone.

Enterprises that previously had to visit four departments for administrative approvals will be able to complete all the procedures through a new platform.

“The FTZ should be the highland of reforms, instead of merely being a place that gathers preferential policies. You should have the courage to undertake reforms and innovation. Today, I’m here to give you more encouragement,” Premier Li said.
