Abstract
This study examines the impact of free trade areas on China's logistics industry and its economy in the post-COVID era. The paper primarily focuses on key regions, utilizing the Location Quotient (LQ) method to analyze relevant trends. Notably, Hainan demonstrates substantial growth in the logistics sector, whereas Shanghai and Guangdong exhibit increased output despite declining LQ values, indicative of a shift towards services and innovation. Furthermore, logistics agglomeration promotes cross-industry collaboration, efficient value-added services, job creation, and career mobility, all of which address the economic challenges faced by China. This study emphasizes the crucial role played by free trade areas, such as Hainan, in stimulating logistics agglomeration and driving economic recovery, trade expansion, and employment opportunities in the post-pandemic landscape, thereby offering valuable insights for future growth.
