“My connection to Hainan began in 1985, as part of the Honolulu delegation that forged our sister city bond. Returning over the years, I have watched in awe as Hainan blossomed into the “Hawaii of China” a vibrant, world-class tourist haven.

Tragically, during this same period, my home of Hawaii has faced a steady decline. The postcard beauty now masks deep wounds: a homelessness epidemic, crumbling roads, a drug crisis, and a failing school system. It’s no wonder we are witnessing a debilitating brain drain.

The legacy of our 1985 agreement is a tale of two islands: one soaring, the other struggling to save itself.” By Johnson Choi, Dec 18 2025

Video with English subtitles: December 18, 2025: China builds the world’s largest free trade port in Hainan.

December 18, 2025, is a day destined to go down in history. From 1978 to 2025, spanning 47 years, the Hainan Free Trade Port officially launched island-wide customs closure operations. This is not only a geographical “closed border”, but also a strong voice of the times that shows China’s determination to open up to the world at a high level.

From the “speed and passion” of ship registration at China’s Yangpu Port, to real gold and silver with a 30% added value in pearl processing, which is duty-free; from the cost advantage of one-stop aircraft maintenance, to the rapid advancement of commercial aerospace and deep-sea technology. In this video, Smile will give you an in-depth analysis: After Hainan closes the customs, what kind of reshuffle will happen to all walks of life? What potential opportunities can ordinary people tap from it?

⚖️ This video is based on real policies and field research, giving you insight into the new trends in China’s economy.

💡 Core ideas:
✅ 1. The system reshapes competitiveness: “Zero tariff, low tax rate, simplified tax system” is no longer a slogan, but a real dividend that reduces corporate costs and improves efficiency, making Hainan a global investment hotspot.
✅ 2. “Towards the sky, towards the earth, towards the deep sea”: Relying on the advantages of a free trade port, Hainan is transforming from a traditional tourist island into a gathering place of new productive forces. Commercial aerospace, southern breeding, and deep-sea scientific research have formed a new backbone of the industry.
✅ 3. A new highland for internationalization: With overseas universities running independently, visa-free access to 85 countries, and global talent gathering, Hainan is becoming a “super contact” linking China and the world.

我與海南的緣分始於1985年, 當年我作為檀香山市代表團的一員，親手締結了兩地的姊妹城市情誼。這些年我多次重訪，懷著驚嘆見證海南蛻變為「中國的夏威夷」，一座活力四射的世界級旅遊勝地。

可悲的是，同在這段歲月裡，我的家鄉夏威夷卻一步步走向衰退。明信片般的風景背後，如今隱藏著深重創傷：無家可歸者氾濫成災、道路橋樑日漸破敗、毒品危機蔓延，以及全美墊底的公立教育體系。難怪我們正目睹人才持續外流，這般景象令人憂心。

我們1985年簽署的協議，終究演化成一段雙島記：一方展翅高飛，另一方卻在掙扎自救。作者：蔡永強 2025年12月18日

【視頻配英文字幕】2025年12月18日：中國在海南打造全球最大自由貿易港

2025年12月18日，注定是載入史冊的一天。從1978到2025年，歷經47年風雨，海南自由貿易港正式啟動全島封關運作。這不僅是地理意義上的「封關」，更是時代的強音，昭示著中國高水平對外開放的決心。

從中國洋浦港船舶登記的「速度與激情」，到珍珠加工增值30%即免稅的真金白銀；從一站式飛機維修的成本優勢，到商業航天、深海科技的快速推進。本期視頻，微笑將為您深度解析：海南封關後，各行各業將迎來怎樣的大洗牌？普通人又能從中挖掘哪些潛在機遇？

⚖️ 本片基於真實政策與實地調研，帶您透視中國經濟新動向。

💡 核心觀點：
✅ 1. 制度重塑競爭力：「零關稅、低稅率、簡稅制」不再是口號，而是切實降低企業成本、提升效率的制度紅利，使海南成為全球投資熱土。
✅ 2. 「上天、入地、下海」：憑藉自貿港優勢，海南正從傳統旅遊島嶼蜕變為新生產力聚集地。商業航天、南繁育種、深海科研已形成產業新支柱。
✅ 3. 國際化新高地：海外高校獨立辦學、85國免簽入境、全球人才匯聚，海南正成為連結中國與世界的「超級聯絡人」。
