(Economic Observation) China's optimization of the business environment: a long-term strategy rather than a "profit" project

　　China News Service, Beijing, September 3 (Reporter Wang Qingkai) China's achievements in optimizing the business environment are obvious to all, and China has become one of the economies with the largest improvement in the optimization of the business environment in the world for many years.

In the context of trade protectionism, the rise of unilateralism and the impact of the epidemic on the global economy, how can we further optimize the business environment in China?

　　At the 2nd China International Business Environment Summit Forum hosted by the Global Times a few days ago, many Chinese officials, scholars and experts believed that optimizing China’s business environment is not a stopgap measure, let alone a “profit” project. It is to grasp it as a long-term strategy.

　　The "Measures for Complaints by Foreign-invested Enterprises" promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce will be formally implemented on October 1 this year.

This measure is not only an important measure to implement the central government's deployment of stabilizing foreign investment, stabilize foreign investment expectations and confidence, but also an important announcement for China to increase the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investment, continue to optimize the business environment, and continue to expand opening up.

　　According to Huang Qifan, vice chairman of the China International Economic Exchange Center, the business environment generally includes three aspects: one is the business environment formed by urban hardware, infrastructure, and public facilities; the other is the policy of opening, reform, and development of the entire country; The third is the services provided by the government to various commissions, bureaus, and related agencies in each city.

　　"China's business environment has two miracles, one is the miracle of speed, and the other is the miracle of quality." Wei Jianguo, former vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in terms of speed, according to a report from the World Bank, China's business environment is making big strides every year. Move forward.

"This subverts the view that we used to say,'If you want to jump high, you must have a long approach run.' Our country's approach runs are very short, but we jump very high, which shows that our speed is up."

　　How to further optimize China's business environment?

Huang Qifan prescribes three prescriptions: First, attach importance to infrastructure and other hardware conditions; second, make good use of the central government's various development policies that keep pace with the times; third, provide services to local and foreign companies.

　　According to Zhang Wei, chief expert of the China Association for Trade in Services, from the perspective of developing service trade, we must also pay attention to strengthening the third-party service of document processing trade and weakening the re-export trade in the re-export trade; building a digital platform for manufacturing services; Investment in the entire industry chain.

　　Xie Ruiwu, deputy mayor of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, shared his “Chengdu experience” in promoting the business environment and said that Chengdu will soon launch the “Policy 3.0” for the business environment to improve the convenience of enterprises and reduce their transaction costs.

"Take business start-up as an example. Version 1.0 reduces the business start-up working day to 5 working days, version 2.0 to 1 working day, and version 3.0 to 0.5 working days. This is currently the most advanced level in the world. "

　　"Our business environment is not an expedient measure, let alone a'profit' project, but to grasp it as a strategy." Zhou Tiegen, secretary of the Xuzhou City Party Committee of Jiangsu Province, said that only a good business environment can have active production. Only the good conditions of the elements can compete.

　　Huang Qifan believes that as long as the requirements for optimizing the business environment are fulfilled, China's business environment will surely form a good high ground in the world and make all countries in the world favor China.

He said that what companies really care about is the market and the long-term benefits of optimized resource allocation.

"As long as our business environment is good, China will not be'disconnected' from the world." (End)
