We have noticed that previous pilot projects to relax market access were mainly carried out through the formation of special measures, such as the special measures introduced for Hainan, Shenzhen, the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin and Nansha in Guangzhou. Could you brief us on the progress of these market access relaxation pilot projects and any considerations for the next step? Thank you.
Wang Shancheng:
Thank you for your question. The opinions clearly state that efforts should be made to expand the scope of pilot projects for relaxing market access. The main considerations are as follows: on the one hand, the number of items included in the negative list for market access remains relatively high, and some items that are not yet ready to be fully opened nationwide need to be explored through pilot projects. On the other hand, market access policies for new business forms and new sectors also need to be continuously refined through pilot projects. By selecting certain regions to carry out these projects, we aim to promote the development of a more flexible and efficient market access policy system, gradually relaxing access and optimizing the environment in relevant sectors.
Since 2021, we have selected Hainan, Shenzhen, the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, and Nansha in Guangzhou to continue pilot programs to expand market access. We have used special measures to relax market access as a key strategy, introducing a series of specific measures in fields such as healthcare, finance, transportation, culture and education. We have effectively relaxed requirements for market access in areas like data property, aerospace, electronic components, integrated circuits, deep sea exploration and the modern seed industry. Major progress has been made in stimulating the vitality of business entities and facilitating the flow of production factors. For example, in Hainan, we proposed improving the market accessibility in the commercial aerospace sector and easing market access to spaceport construction. The first two commercial space rocket launch pads in Hainan are nearing completion, and several major industrial projects have been introduced, greatly promoting the country's commercial aerospace sector. Another example is the pilot program for developing unmanned systems for land, sea and air in Hengqin, Nansha in Guangzhou and Hefei in Anhui. This initiative has achieved the "six unifications" in standard systems, data centers, operational management and control, testing and certification, communication protocols, and policies and regulations. This has effectively removed market access barriers such as operational systems, airspace planning, data security and scenario openings. This lays a foundation for the wider application of unmanned systems across land, sea and air in larger regions and even nationwide.
Moving forward, we will implement the requirements of the opinions, increase efforts to pilot expanded market access and quickly gain reform experiences that can be replicated and promoted.
First, we will conduct trials to allow access to new business formats and fields. Focusing on strategic emerging industries, key areas of future industries, and the layout of major productive forces, we will introduce additional market access measures for deep sea exploration, healthcare, new energy, and artificial intelligence. We will actively explore more efficient and streamlined access mechanisms, promote the application of innovative achievements in key areas, and improve overall market access efficiency.
Second, we will optimize the management of market access procedures. We will further simplify access procedures and optimize the approval process. When excessive approval conditions affect market entry, we will simplify the conditions through pilot programs. At the same time, through pilot projects, we will explore establishing a comprehensive regulatory system that aligns with relaxed market access policies. We aim to accelerate the formation of a framework combining government regulation, enterprise consciousness, industry self-discipline and social supervision.
Third, we will increase efforts to replicate and promote successful pilot experiences. The opinions require effective implementation of deployed special measures to relax market access, policy evaluation, and promotion of successful experiences. Recently, we have conducted evaluations and supervision of the special measures in Hainan and Shenzhen. We will promote and apply some mature pilot experiences and measures that can be replicated on a wider scale. Thank you.
