This government work report has made specific arrangements to effectively ensure that private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises can participate in market competition fairly.

Tian Xuan, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy dean of Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance, suggested that efforts should be made to break through regional policy barriers, achieve comprehensive organic connection and positive interaction between opening up to the outside world and opening up to the inside, and gradually form a link between international and domestic, and between regions.

Zhang Qi said that for enterprises, "just do whatever is not prohibited by law", so as to fully stimulate their willingness and vitality to innovate.
When the government conducts market supervision, it must exercise its discretion in a standardized manner and cannot completely replace laws with policy documents and administrative orders.
