On December 18, 2025, Hainan officially launched island-wide special customs operations, marking a new chapter in the history of the province and China.

Six months later, the island's business landscape has transformed beyond recognition. As the institutional opening-up defined by "freer access at the first line, efficient control at the second line" takes root, Hainan is no longer just a place in China, but a magnet attracting premium global resources.

On the occasion of the half-year anniversary of special customs operations, Hinews, Nanguo Metropolis Daily, and Hainan International Media Center present this special documentary, Hainan: Where the World Converges. Through real-life cases of improved efficiency and flow, we capture the vibrant pulse of this land. Hear European jewelry brands share their first-time experience at the China International Consumer Products Expo; witness how Brazilian soybeans journey from local farms to global dining tables, leaping in value along the way; observe how savvy cross-border trade entrepreneurs leverage EF accounts to make money move faster and more freely; experience how filmmakers take Hainan's creativity across mountains and seas to light up the screens of overseas audiences.

On June 18, 2026, the third installment of the "Converge, Cascade, Thrive" documentary series—Hainan: Where the World Converges—will hit screens worldwide. From the vibrancy of a "land of vitality" to the investment boom of a "cascade of companies," and the free-flowing convenience of a hub "where the world converges," the Hainan Free Trade Port, China's new highland of opening-up, is expanding its arms wider than ever before as it extends an enduring invitation to the world.
