As for supportive measures, Guangzhou will guarantee land resources and green and intensive development as well as employ more skilled professionals.

Guangzhou has three integrated bonded areas, Huangpu, Nansha, and Baiyun Airport. In the first six months of 2022, their combined foreign trade volume reached 81.82 billion RMB, an increase of 55.2 percent, greatly alleviating the downward pressure on Guangzhou's foreign trade. New policies are expected to further boost the development of the city's integrated bonded areas.
