Building Xiamen into an international shipping hub is conducive to higher levels of opening-up of the coastal provinces and inland areas in Southeast China, noted Xia Xianpeng, president of the Xiamen Maritime Court.
Xia, also a CPPCC member from Fujian, made the remarks in an interview with People.cn on the sidelines of the annual political consultative session in Beijing.
Xia, along with three other CPPCC members, in a proposal to the nation's top political advisory body, called for more support in promoting Xiamen, a port city in Fujian, as an international shipping center.
Xiamen achieved increasing global recognition on the back of hosting the BRRICS summit last year, Xia said, which is a boon for the city's international hub construction.
He pointed out that there is still a long way to go for Xiamen to meet planned national standards, adding that the city's business climate, customs clearance and investment and trade facilitation all require further optimization.
Xia offered his suggestions for dealing with these problems.
More efforts should be put into building Xiamen into a maritime service base for Southeast Asian countries, a home-port for cruises, and an international shipping service provider, he said.
