Answer 1

Correct answers:
- to attract investments by foreign countries
- to import technology more easily

Brief explanation: China's free trade zones / special economic zones were established to draw foreign direct investment, boost exports, create jobs, and encourage technology and management transfer by offering preferential policies and more liberal trade/industrial rules as pilot areas. They were not created to “control” imports/exports (they actually liberalize trade in the zones) nor to illegally “avoid” government rules—rather they operate under specially relaxed, officially authorized regulations.
