The protocol to upgrade the China–ASEAN Free Trade Area to Version 3.0 was signed.
From “offering preferential policies” to “establishing rules and institutions,” this journey builds deeper trust. Restrictions on foreign investment access in manufacturing have been “reduced to zero,” the protocol upgrading the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area to version 3.0 has been signed, and 23 pilot free trade zones are advancing in stages. The Hainan Free Trade Port has operated under its island-wide special customs regime for more than 10 months. The proportion of tariff lines covered by “zero tariffs” has risen from 21% to 74%, while average customs clearance time for imported goods has been cut by 20%.中国—东盟自贸区3.0版升级议定书签署
