 | | March 1984 saw a decision made by the State Council that the SEZ be expanded to the whole Xiamen Island (including Gulangyu Islet), covering an area of 131 square kilometres, and that certain policies for a free port be exercised in the SEZ. |
 | | In May 1989, with authority delegated from the State Council, Xiamen's Xinglin and Haicang Districts, which were not included in the SEZ proper, were designated as Investment Areas for Businessmen from Taiwan, implementing policies prevailing in the SEZ. |
