Preparing for Games
Beijing’s Yanqing District is speeding
up the construction of two hydro-
genation stations and a supporting
hydrogen plant in time for the
Alpine Skiing World Cup in 2020
and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic
Games.
The public transport line pow-
ered by hydrogen energy will be
opened in Yanqing, located around
75 km northwest of downtown
Beijing. Green, zero-carbon, environ-
mentally friendly hydrogen fuel cell
vehicles will transport athletes, work-
ers and spectators among venues.
The hydrogen-powered vehicles
produce zero carbon emissions, as

Earlier this year, Yanqing
and China Power International
Development Limited jointly
planned and constructed the
Yanqing Hydrogen Industry Park,
and carried out equipment research
and development, production,
technology application and training
around the green hydrogen industry
to speed up the industrialization of
hydrogen energy.
Beijing issued a document at the
end of 2017 noting that it would pro-
mote the application of hydrogen
production and hydrogenation coreand utilization of talent to provide a
solid guarantee for its deeper reform
and opening up in all areas.
It calls for efforts to establish
a more inclusive mechanism to
introduce talent, further improve the
mechanism for the evaluation and
stimulation of talent and enhance
the services for talent.
The guideline aims to help train
and cultivate ranks of talent in 10
to 15 years who are well-structured,
competent, vigorous and commen-
surate with Hainan’s bid to become
a free trade port with Chinese
characteristics.
Hainan was given the green
light in April 2018 to build a pilot
free trade zone and explore the
establishment of a free trade port
with Chinese characteristics.PTFZ Expansion
An overall plan for the new Lingang
area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot
Free Trade Zone has been issued by
the State Council.
The new area will be set
up to the south of Dazhi River,
east of Jinhui Port and south of
Xiaoyangshan Island and Pudong
International Airport in Shanghai, the
plan said. The new zone will initially
cover an area of 119.5 square km.
According to the plan, the new
section will match the standard of the
most competitive free trade zones
worldwide and implement opening-
up policies and systems with strong
global market competitiveness.
It will facilitate overseas invest-

the plan.
The area will be built into a
special economic function zone with

ness, to better serve the country’s
overall opening-up strategy, it said.
By 2025, the Lingang area will
have a relatively mature institutional
system of investment and trade
liberalization and facilitation. By
2035, it will be built into a special
economic function zone with strong

the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games.Embracing Talent
