记者丨吴斌 自由贸易试验区的开放政策可复制、可推广，但迟福林强调， 海南自由贸易港是"最高水平开放形态"，其核心政策不可复制 。"零 关税、低税率、简税制"是海南自由贸易港政策体系的核心，并在这个基础上实现资金、人员、货物等自由流通。 当前，在全球自由贸易动能明显减弱的背景下，区域经济一体化成为全球经济发展的重要趋势。迟福林认为，以高水平开放引领区 域经济一体化，最现实、最重要的是加强以东盟为主体的RCEP区域经贸合作， 使海南自由贸易港成为连接中国大市场与以东盟为 主体的RCEP大市场的战略枢纽 。 展望未来，迟福林认为，海南自由贸易港要适应中国企业与东盟企业双向投资大趋势，以建设国内企业进入东盟投资合作的"总部基 地"和以东盟企业为主进入中国大市场的"总部基地"为重大任务，使海南自由贸易港在区域合作中发挥战略枢纽作用。 编辑丨和佳 从官员贬谪的蛮荒之地，到南海碧波中冉冉升起的沧海明珠。这片曾是中国历史上最遥远的边疆，如今已成为新时代改革开放最前 沿的试验场，书写着从"天涯海角"到"世界枢纽"的跨越传奇。 "海南背靠超大规模国内市场，毗邻东南亚，面向太平洋和印度洋。从海南出发，4小时飞行时间可以覆盖亚洲21 ...
