    Staff members of the Grand China Aviation Maintenance Co., Ltd. under the HNA Technic perform maintenance on an aircraft at the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) One-Stop Aircraft Maintenance Base in Haikou, south China's Hainan Province, on Nov. 21, 2025. The Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) One-Stop Aircraft Maintenance Base, which started operation in 2022, has performed maintenance service on more than 2,400 aircraft, completed full-body painting for over 280 aircraft, and repaired about 60,000 aircraft components as of the end of October this year. The maintenance base has drawn global clients like Qatar Airways, Royal Air Philippines and Iberia. Under the Hainan FTP's favorable regulations, aircraft entering the region for maintenance are exempt from paying security deposits, and parts imported for repair benefit from a bonded status. The policy support is expected to be amplified following the FTP's official launch of island-wide independent customs operations on Dec. 18. Photo by Zhang Liyun/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.

                    EU Commission Weekly Meeting Readout - Brussels

                    EU Commission Weekly Meeting Readout - Brussels

                    EU Commission vice-president, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas talks to media in the Berlaymont, the EU Commission headquarter on September 3, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. Today, the European Commission is preparing to approve a trade agreement with Latin American Mercosur countries, in a bid to convince Paris and reassure farmers. Adoption by European Commissioners is the first step before submitting this free trade agreement to Member States and Members of the European Parliament in the coming months. In particular, the agreement should allow the European Union to export more cars, machinery, and alcohol to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. In return, it would facilitate imports of South American meat, sugar, rice, honey, and soybeans, which would risk undermining some European agricultural sectors.
