  • Section 3: China's Strategic Aims in Africa
    SECTION 3: CHINA’S STRATEGIC AIMS IN AFRICA Key Findings • Beijing has long viewed African countries as occupying a cen- tral position in its efforts to increase China’s global influence and revise the international order. Over the last two decades, and especially under General Secretary of the Chinese Com- munist Party (CCP) Xi Jinping’s leadership since 2012, Beijing has launched new initiatives to transform Africa into a testing ground for the export of its governance system of state-led eco- nomic growth under one-party, authoritarian rule. • Beijing uses its influence in Africa to gain preferential access to Africa’s natural resources, open up markets for Chinese exports, and enlist African support for Chinese diplomatic priorities on and beyond the continent. The CCP flexibly tailors its approach to different African countries with the goal of instilling admira- tion and at times emulation of China’s alternative political and governance regime. • China is dependent on Africa for imports of fossil fuels and commodities constituting critical inputs in emerging technology products. Beijing has increased its control of African commodi- ties through strategic direct investment in oil fields, mines, and production facilities, as well as through resource-backed loans that call for in-kind payments of commodities. This control threatens the ability of U.S. companies to access key supplies. • As the top bilateral financier of infrastructure projects across Africa, China plays an important role in addressing the short- age of infrastructure on the continent. China’s financing is opaque and often comes with onerous terms, however, leading to rising concerns of economic exploitation, dependency, and po- litical coercion.

    The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference Report 2009 is co-produced by the Boao Forum for Asia and the Deloitte China Research and Insight Center on behalf of Deloitte as the Intellectual Supporting Partner to the BFA's Annual Conference. The report is intended to provide an overview of the topics discussed but it is not a complete documentation of the conference itself. References to speakers and panelists have been drawn from the Boao Forum for Asia's recordings of the sessions. The Boao Forum for Asia wishes to thank all the speakers and panelists at the Annual Conference 2009 for their participation and willingness to share their views, ideas and experience. Following the turmoil of the global financial crisis and in the midst of the global economic downturn, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2009 on 17-19 April, provided a valuable and timely opportunity for leaders of government, business and academia to meet and exchange views and ideas on the way ahead for the global economy, and the role of Asian economies. We would like to share with you this special report which we invited Deloitte, as our Intellectual Supporting Partner to the Boao Forum for Asia's Annual Conference, to co-produce with us. It encapsulates the key topics and ideas discussed last April as more than 1,400 delegates from approximately 40 countries around the world focused on "Asia: Managing beyond crisis", our Annual Conference 2009 theme. The consensus of delegates attending the Annual Conference 2009 was that a new global financial order is inevitable.

The initiative has attracted close attention from around the world. To evolve from a pilot FTZ to an FTP with Chinese features, Hainan, with the goal of serving major national strategies, is making concerted * THIS CHAPTER IS NOT PEERREVIEWED. 190 H A I N A N I S L A N D : F R O M A P I LO T F R E E T R A D E Z O N E T O A F R E E T R A D E P O R T efforts to build the China (Hainan) Pilot Free Trade Zone to a high standard. It is doing so by prioritizing trade in services as the dominant driving force, with institutional inno- vation as the core, and by obtaining dynamism and vitality through reform. In this way, Hainan will reach new heights in China’s opening up and become a favoured destination for global investment. INTRODUC TION After full consideration of domestic and international situations, in-depth research, and comprehensive scientific planning, supporting Hainan Island to become a pilot free trade zone (FTZ)―while at the same time gradually exploring and steadily pushing forward the building of a free trade port (FTP) with Chinese characteristics―is a major decision by China’s Central Government.

China Hainan. Given its relatively independent geographical location and the size of its economy in China, Hainan Island, being used as a “living laboratory” to test policy, is a fitting site to build a free trade port. This chapter introduces six aspects of the institutional framework of the Hainan Free Trade Port and discusses three strategic sectors that will increasingly shape the island’s economy in the future: tourism, modern services, and new and/or high-tech Ch 6 Huang-Wang pgs 155-176 FINAL HI-RES April 6.qxp_Layout 1 2021-04-06 3:22 PM Page 158 158 PROSPECTS FOR COOPERATION BETWEEN HAINAN AND OTHER GLOBAL ISLANDS industries.

Jointly initiated by 29 countries and inaugurated on February 27, 2001, the Boao Forum for Asia is the premier forum for Asian economies and emerging markets. The forum brings together heads of state and government, Ministers, heads of international organisations, CEOs, economists and journalists from Asia and beyond. The Boao Forum provides a unique opportunity to discuss issues relevant to Western Australia and the region at the highest level with Asian and global leaders across politics, business and academia. China is Western Australia's largest market for merchandise exports, accounting for 47 per cent of the State's exports in 2017-18 - close to $62 billion worth. As our largest market for agricultural and food exports, China accounted for 22 per cent of agricultural exports in 2016-17, valued at $1.89 billion. The visit was an opportunity to confirm the importance with which the Western Australian Government holds our largest trading partner, particularly given the challenges in the relationship on a national level.
