According to professor Zhang Xiangjian, Xi'an inland free trade port should focus on a target regional advantage, develop characteristic industries and finance based on the market conditions in the west China, and build a matched system, instead of creating industrial clusters in development zones.

He also suggested that the construction of Xi’an inland free trade port could start by seeking breakthroughs in a certain field, and then gradually move forward in stages.
