Abstract

In August 2019 the state approved creation of the pilot free trade zones in three border provinces and regions (Heilongjiang, Guangxi and Yunnan) with the aim of accelerating opening of the border through the reforms and innovation. Creation of a pilot free trade zone along the border is of great importance for China, as it creates a new high bar for openness to the outside world and contributes to economic and social development of the border areas in a new era. It is also an important measure for the country to promote the construction of «One Belt, One Road» and improve the China's new model of comprehensive openness. Based on the experience of cross-border cooperation in the other border pilot free trade zones, this article discusses specific measures, development difficulties and relevant proposals for leveling the system of the province's international trade channels towards Russia and the North-Eastern Asia.
