China's reform and opening policy, which began in 1980 with the establishment of a "special economic zone," has undergone a significant shift in the way of development since it recently entered the New Normal era. In this circumstance, China Pilot Free Trade Zone has significant implications as President Xi Jinping's innovative reform and opening-up policy. Thus, this study identified the operation status and characteristics of 12 China Pilot Free Trade Zones, reflecting the characteristics of China. Then the logistics competitiveness of 11 free trade test zones excluding Hainan was analyzed based on the 2018 data using the Entropy-TOPSIS method. The total logistics competitiveness results indicate that Guangdong was the most competitive among the 11 China Pilot Free Trade Zones, and Shanghai and Fu Jian rank second and third, respectively. According to the results of this study, the logistics competitiveness of Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian and Tianjin, setting up earlier than others, were relatively high. Meanwhile, the coastal areas received relatively high logistics competitiveness scores because they had better economic and industrial conditions with major ports. This study provided important policy implications to provide strategies concerning the characteristics of Korean companies in logistics competitiveness, based on careful analysis of positioning and specialized logistics function of China Pilot Free Trade Zone.
