Abstract:With the global economic integration, and China joining the WTO, China has become an important economic component of the world. As an open window to the world, Free Trade Zone(FTZ) plays an important role in developing international trade and attracting foreign direct investment to stimulate the economic development of its hinterland. However, many factors, including the “multi-channel management” system, “FTZ-harbor separation” principles and the long-term export-oriented policies limit the radiation effect to hinterland’s economy. In practice, we should embark on accelerating the reform of FTZ’s management system, promoting the “FTZ-harbor interaction” and enhancing the FTZ’s industrial upgrading to exert a catalytic influence on the hinterland’s economy.
