China's State Council, or the cabinet, has issued an overall plan for the new Lingang area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

According to the plan, the new section will match the standard of the most competitive free trade zones worldwide and implement opening-up policies and systems with strong global market competitiveness.

The new area will facilitate overseas investment and capital flows and realize the free flow of goods, according to the plan.

The area will be built into a special economic function zone with global influence and competitiveness, to better serve the country's overall opening-up strategy.

China will see strengthened management and supervision of insurance assets and liabilities, according to interim measures issued by the banking and insurance regulator Thursday.

-- China to nurture platform economy growth

China will take a series of measures to support the development of the platform economy as the country aims to leverage internet-based technologies and services to boost economic growth.
