In 2004, China will vigorously promote the development of the
non-public sector of the economy and actively guide it, said
Premier Wen Jiabao in a government work report delivered at the
opening of the Second Session of the Tenth National People's
Congress Friday.
Governments at all levels must promptly eliminate or revise
regulations and policies that restrict the development of this
sector and implement measures that relax market access, the premier
said.
The government will conduct further studies and formulate
specific methods to encourage non-public enterprises to participate
in the reorganization of state-owned enterprises and expand into
infrastructure development, public utilities and other industries
and domains.
Wen said that the government will take measures to ensure that
non-public enterprises receive the same treatment as other
enterprises in investment, financing, taxation, land use and
foreign trade. He pledged to protect their legitimate rights and
interests and improve government service to and oversight over
them, so as to support and encourage qualified non-public
enterprises in their efforts to grow stronger and larger.
