Since 2016, as approved by the State Council, there are 17 regions running trials for innovative development of trade in services, including Shanghai, Hainan Province, Beijing and Xiong'an New Area. The Wednesday meeting adopted further steps in this regard.

In keeping with regional development strategies, trials for innovative development of trade in services will be expanded to 21 provincial areas.

Additional reform measures will be considered to open up more sectors and improve facilitation, including developing cross-border commercial medical insurance, advancing Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools, expanding the scope of qualified operators of technology import and export, and resuming international tourism and sports cooperation with COVID-19 containment protocols in place.
