BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — The share of zero-tariff goods in the Hainan Free Trade Port will increase to 74 percent from 21 percent, according to a press conference held Wednesday.

Deputy head of China's National Development and Reform Commission Wang Changlin announced that the Hainan Free Trade Port will officially launch independent customs operations across the island on December 18, 2025.

Vice Minister of Finance of China Liao Min noted that the number of duty-free items in Hainan will increase from approximately 1,900 to 6,600.

Imported products whose added value after processing on the island reaches at least 30 percent of the original value can be imported for sale in other regions of the country without customs duties. For some products that are currently subject to import bans and restrictions throughout the country, open rules will apply in Hainan.

"We will implement a more effective and targeted approach in terms of supervision and management, which is low in invasiveness and high in efficiency, on zero-tariff goods and easing of trade regulations on goods, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the opening-up policy," Wang Changlin said. -0-

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — China will tighten regulations on intelligent driving as current "smart driving" systems in vehicles have not yet reached the target of full autonomous driving, Wang Qiang, head of the Traffic Regulation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said Wednesday.

"The driver remains the primary responsible party for driving," Wang Qiang said at a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office.

He stressed that if a driver takes his hands off the steering wheel or looks away from the road while the vehicle is moving, this not only creates a serious threat to road safety, but can also entail legal risk in the form of compensation in a civil case, administrative penalties and criminal prosecution. -0-

We continue to tell how the student teams of "Polytech" spend their work season. With the beginning of summer holidays, the guys went all over the country to change the environment, earn money and get useful skills for independent living. Today, together with the SSO "Flame" we will visit Surgut, at the construction of a road bridge across the Ob River.

The second Surgut bridge is being built to relieve the only existing crossing over the Ob River, opened in 2000. In general, the facility is a transport network, including a highway, three overpasses, four small bridges and several interchanges. It will connect several Russian regions, help develop the oil and gas industry and the Arctic. The construction of the second Surgut bridge has been declared an all-Russian student construction project. The work is gradually moving towards the end, and the builders expect that thanks to young and energetic assistants, they will complete the construction already in the fourth quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, the guys from "Plamen" are sandblasting the metal structures inside the bridge, carefully cleaning them from traces of corrosion. The girls are not far behind – they paint the bolted connections and welds so that they do not become covered in rust again.

"We went to Surgut for the first time, where we are working with the contractor VMP-Engineering. Despite the completely new conditions, the members of our unit are working on the construction site with great pleasure and helping to complete the facility by the scheduled deadlines," said SSO "Flame" fighter Dmitry Chernyshov.

Students gain valuable experience working with compressors, sandblasting equipment, improve their skills in electricity, mechanics and find new friends. For many, this becomes an important stage in professional development and personal growth. Well, in their free time, the guys explore the sights of Surgut and the local cuisine, walk in the parks, ride the rides, and in the evenings in the hostel the whole group watches films and holds commissar meetings.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During the construction of the ZIL station on the Troitskaya metro line, it was decided to increase the area of improvement of the adjacent territory. As a result, there will be more greenery here, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"The ZIL station of the Troitskaya metro line is being built in the very heart of the actively developing cluster of the capital on the site of a former industrial zone and is designed to significantly improve the transport accessibility of the area. For the convenience of passengers and local residents, during the construction process it was decided to expand the area of complex improvement by increasing the volume of landscaping – it will cover almost 40 thousand square meters. As part of the entire project, on an area of 60 thousand square meters, in addition to green spaces, lawns and flower beds, asphalt paving and granite paving will also be carried out, and small architectural forms will be installed," said Vladimir Efimov.

The area of flower beds has doubled compared to the original project. This is also due to the fact that the territory adjacent to the new station borders the Tyufeleva Roshcha Park and, according to the designers, will be maintained in its style.

According to the General Director of JSC Mosinzhproekt, Maxim Gaman, specialists will lay a lawn near the station, organize flower beds, plant several thousand bushes and trees, install benches and organize bicycle parking. A modern public transport waiting pavilion will also appear here and grounds for ground routes will be equipped. All this will create a full-fledged public area where city residents will be able to relax, use bicycles and have a rest.

In addition, new sections of roads for traffic and pedestrians will appear within the framework of the project. In particular, Lisitsky Street will be virtually reconstructed.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin told how the city cares about nature during the construction of the metro.

The Troitskaya metro line will run from the ZIL station of the Moscow Central Circle to the city of Troitsk and will become one of the longest radii of the Moscow metro and the largest outside the Moscow Ring Road.
