"The company registration system in the FTZ will eliminate quite a lot of procedures that companies used to go through in the past. The negative list system adopted in the FTZ will alleviate a lot of the burden from companies. In this sense, we all have confidence to expand our businesses quickly to a larger part of China."

Fu Weizhong, general manger of Shanghai Capacity Exchange Co Ltd
