Beijings Plans for Hainan Growth Amid Island Fever
Beijing advances a master plan to turn Hainan into China's 30th province and a major Special Economic Zone with free trade, currency freedoms, and industrial parks. By 1990 an international airport, roads, and power grids are envisaged, as 20,000 plus applicants seek skilled posts, while past corruption and debt haunt investment hopes.

Hainan Reform History Marred by War and Weakness
A review of Hainan’s reform efforts from Sun Yat-sen’s call in 1911 to modern times. It notes Japanese occupation shaping the island, a 120 mile railway to Sanya, Soviet rubber plans in the 1950s, and Mao era cultural propaganda. It ends with Zhao Ziyang’s 1983 visit noting severe poverty and ecological damage.
