The free trade zone has already taken shape after efforts of over a decade and its development displays good momentum. However, problems still loom up in the development of the free trade zone. These include blocked financing channels, inadequate high-level personnel, outdated local infrastructure, unsophisticated local governance system, lack of bilateral coordination mechanism and supporting policies and systems not full-fledged in from 皇冠体育app side.
