  Hunan-based CPPCC members submitted a joint proposal to the 5th session of the 12th CPPCC National Committee, on establishing a China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

  The proposal assessed the necessity of Hunan to establish the zone.

Institutions of higher education, research institutions, and hi-tech industrial zones flourish in the CZT Two-oriented Society Pilot Zone along the Xiangjiang River, supporting multilevel innovations, and the national “Made in China 2025” strategy. As for industrial sectors, Hunan has a batch of advanced industrial clusters, such as engineering machinery, electronic information, new materials, petrochemical engineering, automobile and parts, and lead and zinc hard metal processing, among which engineering machinery and rail transit manufacturing are particularly highlighted.
