HAIKOU, May 21 (Xinhua) -- China's island province of Hainan on Sunday launched a campaign to attract businesses and investments, the latest move to build itself into a pilot free trade zone and eventually a free trade port.
The campaign, lasting around 100 days starting Sunday, will focus on attracting businesses and investments in tourism, modern service industry, and high-tech industry, according to the provincial government.
