NANNING, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- The number of newly registered enterprises in the pilot free trade zone (FTZ) of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has reached 10,561 over the past year, the FTZ said on Monday.
Two new pilot FTZs in Guangxi and neighboring Yunnan Province were launched on Aug. 30 last year, marking the first time China set up pilot FTZs in border regions.
Among the newly registered enterprises are 85 foreign-funded enterprises, with actualized use of foreign investment of more than 140 million U.S. dollars.
