June 23, Fineko/abc.az. International enterprises have ramped up their capital allocation inside China's Hainan province following the official deployment of a specialized customs framework under the Free Trade Port regime.

According to ABC.AZ, a total of 1,016 new foreign-funded corporations were registered between December 2025 and April 2026, marking a significant 35.5% year-on-year expansion.

The investment inflection is directly tied to structural fiscal and customs incentives, including zero-tariff mandates on select commodity classes alongside streamlined processing and trading regulations. Consequently, Hainan is increasingly being positioned not merely as an entry node into the mainland Chinese market, but as a strategic regional hub for operations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) theater. Among the frontline institutional projects anchoring this expansion is a new manufacturing hub established by Germany's Siemens Energy inside the Yangpu Economic Development Zone.
