Core viewpoint: Qu Xiaodong, a columnist for China Economic Net, believes that only by making great efforts and continuously promoting the optimization and upgrading of the business environment can the vast number of business entities thrive. With the "excellence" of the business environment and the "advancement" of development, the Chinese economy will continue to move steadily and steadily. Business entities are the main participants in China's economic activities, the main providers of employment opportunities, and the main drivers of technological progress. The vitality of business entities represents the vitality of economic development. Data shows that by 2023, the number of registered business entities in China will reach 184 million, with a year-on-year increase of 0.69% in enterprise activity and an average extension of 0.64 years in the lifespan of exiting enterprises. The increasing trend of business entities cannot be separated from the support of policies. In recent years, a series of measures have been taken to promote the development and growth of the private economy, from the release of the "Opinions on Promoting the Development and Growth of the Private Economy", to the introduction of the "Regulations on Promoting the Development of Individual Industrial and Commercial Households", to the launch of the "25 Articles on Financial Support", "22 Articles on Market Supervision", and "28 Articles on Convenient Taxation", in order to make the development expectations and confidence of various business entities more stable. Since the beginning of this year, relevant departments have also taken many new measures to promote the continuous improvement of the development quality of business entities. For example, this year the State Administration for Market Regulation has launched a special campaign to crack down on illegal charging by enterprises, focusing on key charging entities, highlighting key industry sectors, investigating and punishing key illegal behaviors, and optimizing law enforcement inspection methods. As of now, a total of 44800 units of various types have been inspected, 1253 cases have been filed, and 393 million yuan of illegal fees have been urged to be refunded, achieving positive results. It cannot be ignored that various business entities still face practical problems to varying degrees, such as insufficient working capital, expensive financing, difficult financing, multiple market access barriers, complicated administrative approval procedures, inadequate policy implementation, and low policy accessibility. The next step is to continue creating a better development environment for business entities. First, let's say 'enter'. Market access is the starting point for various business entities to carry out operations and participate in competition. On September 6th, the Hangzhou Wenzhou high-speed railway was put into operation. The Hangzhou Wenzhou Railway is a demonstration project for social capital investment by the National Development and Reform Commission. In June 2018, the Zhejiang Provincial Government and Baisheng United Group signed a pilot agreement for the national mixed ownership reform of the Hangzhou Wenzhou Railway. This breakthrough move by private capital to participate in major project construction is due to the reform of the market access system. Not long ago, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Improving the Market Access System". This will promote more standardized market access management and better ensure that business entities enter the market on an equal footing in accordance with the law. Let's talk about 'service' again. Improving the level of government services is an inevitable requirement for optimizing the business environment, which directly affects the sense of gain and development confidence of various business entities in the market. For example, this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation, in conjunction with relevant departments, has implemented the "efficient completion of one task" reform to address the three common issues that the public often encounters, including changes in enterprise information, enterprise deregistration, and opening catering establishments, which involve multiple departments. The data shows that currently, the number of enterprise information change processes has been reduced from 7 to 1, the number of submitted materials has decreased by 13, and the approval time has been reduced by 6 working days. It can be said that the reform has reduced the number of procedures, shortened the cycle, optimized the process, and lowered the cost for enterprises and the public. Furthermore, the process of optimizing the business environment is also a process of continuously deepening reforms, breaking free from ideological constraints, and breaking through entrenched barriers of interests. Whether it is clearing market barriers, transforming government functions, improving service quality and efficiency, or promoting institutional integration and innovation, we need to persist in seeking motivation from reform and vitality from innovation. We not only focus on addressing weaknesses and difficulties, but also pay attention to establishing long-term mechanisms and consolidating institutional foundations. Only in this way can we more effectively stimulate market vitality and social creativity. A good business environment is like sunshine, water, and air. Only by exerting great efforts and continuously promoting the optimization and upgrading of the business environment can the vast number of business entities thrive. With the "excellence" of the business environment and the "advancement" of development, the Chinese economy will continue to move steadily and steadily.
