因为海南封关不封关都不可能另设账本，这是海南与香港本质上的不同。香港是一国两制，而海南只能是一国一制；香港与内地是两个账本，海南与内地只 能是一个账本。 感觉全中国的专家都在做名词解释 —— 什么是一线放开，什么是二线管住，什么是岛内自由。如果专家只会做这种名词解释，十年内这伙子专家全部会让 AI 干掉，是经济学中"多余人"，AI比专家解释的好，因为AI是所有专家的合成体。 既然海南与内地是同一个账本，就不可能打开金融长城、实行自由兑换。所谓一线放开，二线管住，岛内自由，主要对应的是税，其它方面可以说是能不放 开的都没放开，比如互联网、媒体、稳定币，基础电信，更不要说自由兑换了。这决定了海南不可能成为第二个香港。 为什么不能打开外汇管制、允许岛内自由兑换？ 因为海南进出不需要通行证，关税上有一线、二线的边界，对人的进出没有一线、二线的边界，封货不封人。海南放开自由兑换，全国的金融堤坝就彻底打 开了，全中国的富人都会冲入海南，将人民币兑换成美元，没有悬念（当然，不会按卢麒元的 3：1 兑换）。 这里有一个疑问：国际机构一致认为人民币会升值，2026 年汇率将达到 6.8：1，怎么会得出富人把人民币换成美元的结论 ...
