The island is independent of jurisdiction. It has its own government department. It is separate from the Zhuhai Municipal Government and directly belongs to Guangdong. There are preferential policies to attract foreign businessmen and attract Australian businessmen, and there are also talent preference programs. Establishing a company here can enjoy different degrees of preferential policies. If you need it, you can understand it."
