Hong Kong Bauhinia Magazine:
The topic of business environment reform is of great concern to everyone. How will Guangdong further optimize the business environment and create good conditions for enterprise development? Thank you.
Zhang Hu:
Thank you for your question, and thank you for your interest in Guangdong's business environment. In recent years, we have resolutely implemented the decisions and plans of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee, deepening reform of the business environment in key areas and at crucial links, and have achieved significant results. Guangdong has been recognized as the province with China's best reputation for business environment for four consecutive years, according to a report by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) that evaluated the business environment of 10,000 private enterprises. The provincial government has also led the nation for the past five years in integrated administrative service capabilities. At present, the number of market entities in the province exceeds 18 million, of which 7.8 million are enterprises, accounting for one-seventh of the country's total.
Next, we will focus on the concerns of enterprises and the public, optimize the four environments and actively foster a world-class business environment that is market-oriented, law-based and internationalized.
First, we will foster a centralized, efficient, competitive and orderly market environment. We will quicken our steps to serve and integrate into the unified national market, fully implement the policy of "entry unless on the list" and treat business ownerships of all types equally. We will further implement special measures to broaden market access in Shenzhen, Hengqin and Nansha, and take the lead in broadening market access in an orderly manner in the fields of biomedicine, education and culture, green and low-carbon development and applications of advanced technologies.
Second, we will foster a well-regulated, convenient, open and transparent environment of government services. We have launched "integrated online services" and "one-stop processing", achieving a 94.07% online handling rate for provincial government services, with 92.63% of these services requiring no physical visits. Next, we will continue to deepen the reform of administrative review and approval procedures, improve the mechanism for regular communication between government and business, and introduce more preferential policies to provide one-stop life-cycle services for enterprises.
Third, we will foster a fair and just legal environment conducive to healthy development. We will quicken our steps to study and introduce regulations on promoting high-quality development of the private sector in Guangdong province, ensuring legal protection for corporate property rights and entrepreneurs’ interests. We will further improve the diversified dispute settlement mechanism, promote "internet plus regulation" and credibility supervision, and see that businesses are undisturbed in their operations and their needs are addressed.
Fourth, we will foster an open environment with smooth circulation and win-win cooperation. Leveraging the synergies of the "five international linkages," we will further pursue higher-level opening up. We will spend more efforts in building an open economic system to a higher level. We will implement the eight major steps to promote high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and actively encourage Chinese enterprises to "go global."
That's my answer, thank you.
