CCTV.com News: At the start of the new year, optimizing the business environment has become a "highlight" of work in many places. Liaoning, Fujian, Shanghai and other places held special conferences on optimizing the business environment on the first working day of the new year to deploy new tasks and goals for this year.
In recent days, during visits to various regions, reporters have found that local governments and departments have already taken action. Some are working to address persistent problems and shortcomings, while others are planning to extend services to specific niche markets. A series of reform initiatives are being implemented at an accelerated pace, making the business environment a new competitive advantage for different regions.
Liaoning: Efforts to improve the convenience of government services are accelerating.
At the start of the year, Liaoning Province released its "Action Plan for Optimizing the Business Environment," outlining 34 key tasks focusing on improving the policy system and enhancing government services. During a visit to Liaoning, reporters observed many new changes.
At the Shenyang Municipal Government Service Center, the reporter met Wu Ping, who is in charge of optimizing service procedures. There weren't many people in the hall, but she was extremely busy.
Today, a new "one-stop" service scenario was launched, and she was busy coordinating the new business processes with staff at various service windows. In the first week of the year, they integrated several matters that previously required visits to multiple departments, such as "chain changes to citizen information" and "transformation of individual businesses into enterprises," into a single "one-stop" service. Currently, she is also busy coordinating with various departments to optimize processes and expedite the launch of more convenient services.
Subsequently, Wu Ping immediately contacted the technical team responsible for developing the online approval function to discuss the business requirements for the upcoming launch.
Why is the work pace so fast? Wu Ping said that Shenyang has launched more than 2,500 "no-run-at-all" services, but this is still far from enough.
Wu Ping, Director of the Administrative Power Operation Supervision Division of the Shenyang Municipal Bureau of Business Environment Construction: In fact, there are about 16,000 items in our city, including those at the municipal level and those in each district. By the end of the year, we aim to achieve 90% of these items so that we don't have to make any trips. So we still have about 10,000 items to go. Therefore, our task this year is very heavy, and we need to optimize the process every day.
The streamlined and optimized procedures for various services have brought noticeable improvements to businesses and individuals visiting the government service hall. Interviews with the public revealed that many reported a significant increase in efficiency.
Liaoning: Boosting Momentum and Reducing Burdens with Multiple Measures to Help Enterprises Develop Well
Inside the government service hall, we felt Liaoning's determination and efforts in optimizing the business environment this year. With the accelerated improvement of the business environment, what changes are taking place in enterprises? Let's continue with the reporter's visit.
These past few days, a privately-owned shipyard in Dalian, Liaoning Province, has been bustling with activity. At the start of the new year, four 300,000-ton supertankers under construction were launched on the same day, setting a new record in the global shipbuilding industry. Currently, more than 50,000 shipbuilding workers are making a final push to deliver these giant vessels.
Chen Jianhua, Chairman of Hengli Group: Currently, more than 100 ships are under construction at the factory, and we will deliver 10 more to customers this month. Our current order backlog extends to 2030.
Chen Jianhua told reporters that the third phase of Hengli Heavy Industry's project recently commenced, extending into the fields of high-end marine engineering equipment, marine materials, and marine component manufacturing. The entire process of compiling, submitting, and approving the project's land development plan was completed in just one month, saving valuable time for the project to quickly go into production and seize the market.
Chen Jianhua, Chairman of Hengli Group: We deeply appreciate how proactive and efficient our departments have been in providing on-site support and online/offline solutions to problems encountered during project approvals and implementation. We will continue to increase our investment; as the business environment improves, our confidence in development grows stronger.
Not only are approval services being accelerated and improved, but many cities are also working hard to "reduce the burden on enterprises".
In Liaoyang, various law enforcement departments have recently launched a "scan-to-enter-business" campaign, where the "code" is controlled by the businesses. Law enforcement officers need to make an appointment with the business in advance, scan the QR code, and note the inspection content and accompanying personnel information. The relevant data will be recorded in the Liaoning Provincial Big Data Center.
Zhou Quankai, Executive Vice General Manager of Liaoning Kelon Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.: Previously, inspections required us to be notified at the last minute, necessitating the temporary reassignment of safety officers, which negatively impacted our safe production. However, this time, with the QR code scanning system, we were notified in advance, allowing us to arrange for relevant personnel to prepare the necessary documents. This greatly benefits the safe operation of the workshop.
Furthermore, the local judicial department took the lead in integrating the enforcement actions of various departments. Simply put, this means that each department can no longer conduct separate inspections of enterprises; instead, multiple inspections are combined into one to reduce disruption to businesses.
Zhou Quankai, Executive Vice General Manager of Liaoning Kelon Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.: Now they leave a record after the inspection, and we will evaluate their service. From this perspective, it enhances the company's bargaining power.
Currently, Liaoning Province has implemented the "scan code to enter enterprise, conduct comprehensive inspection in one go" system in five cities: Shenyang, Dalian, Liaoyang, Fushun, and Chaoyang, which effectively supervises and regulates law enforcement behavior.
Yang Tao, Deputy Director of Liaoyang Municipal Bureau of Justice: By scanning codes to enter enterprises, the law enforcement behavior of various law enforcement departments can be standardized and supervised throughout the entire chain and process, further standardizing law enforcement inspection behavior.
Liaoning: Multiple departments work together to create the best reputation for its business environment.
Enabling businesses to operate and thrive is the original intention of various regions in optimizing their business environment. This year, Liaoning's goal for creating a business environment goes beyond simply "optimizing" it; it aims for "the best," proposing to strive to become "the province with the best reputation for its business environment." How will this goal be achieved? Let's continue with the reporter's investigation.
When the reporter arrived at the Liaoning Provincial Development and Reform Commission, a task promotion meeting on optimizing the business environment was being held. Relevant officials from the development and reform systems of various cities in Liaoning gathered together, not to talk about achievements or empty talk, but to put on the table the specific tasks and existing problems for this year.
Since Liaoning Province released its action plan to optimize the business environment, various localities and departments have acted swiftly, launching a series of specific actions and measures, establishing special working groups, conducting extensive visits to enterprises, and compiling a register of the demands and problems collected from them. At the Liaoning Provincial Development and Reform Commission, reporters saw two newly released work lists, clearly outlining the specific tasks, deadlines, and responsible units for optimizing the business environment across the province.
Mu Jiushen, Deputy Director of the Liaoning Provincial Development and Reform Commission: One set contains 173 articles, and the other contains 118 articles. We are now working hard to implement all tasks, ensuring that each task is assigned to someone, managed by someone, and carried out in every specific detail.
This year, Liaoning Province proposed to strive to build itself into the "province with the best reputation for business environment," and identified 34 specific tasks in terms of ensuring fairness, optimizing services, reducing costs, clarifying the rule of law, and stabilizing expectations, in order to solve the bottlenecks and difficulties that enterprises face in their production, operation and development.
Our primary task at present is to lay a solid foundation and close the gap between our province and more advanced provinces. This is the area we need to address. We must ensure that our work is truly implemented at the grassroots level, so as to guarantee a significant and fundamental improvement in our business environment in the short term.
