CCTV News: On the afternoon of April 3, the Ministry of Commerce held a press conference. The spokesperson introduced the recent key tasks in the business field and answered reporters' questions.

He Yadong introduced that President Xi Jinping’s important speech when meeting with representatives from the international business community has greatly boosted the confidence of foreign investment and pointed out the direction for my country’s active use of foreign investment in the new era. The Ministry of Commerce will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of President Xi Jinping’s important speech, unswervingly promote high-level opening up to the outside world, and continue to support foreign-invested enterprises to invest in and deepen their cultivation in China.

First, further expand opening up to the outside world. We will accelerate the implementation of foreign-funded pilot projects such as cloud computing, biotechnology, and wholly foreign-owned hospitals in accordance with the requirements of "implementing opening-up measures early rather than late, and fast rather than slow", and accelerate the implementation of foreign-funded pilot projects such as cloud computing, biotechnology, and wholly foreign-owned hospitals. Give full play to the role of open platforms such as free trade pilot zones and national service industry expansion pilot projects, promote the expansion of open pilot projects in the fields of telecommunications and medical care, and steadily and orderly expand independent opening up in the fields of education and culture. Promote the revision and reduction of the negative list for market access, and continue to clear hidden barriers outside the negative list for foreign investment access to ensure "both access and operation".

The second is to maintain fair competition in the market. We will ensure the national treatment of foreign-funded enterprises in accordance with the requirements of "ensure consistency in the application of laws and equal status and treatment". We will work with relevant departments to ensure that foreign-invested enterprises participate equally in government procurement in accordance with the law, support foreign-invested enterprises to participate equally in large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods exchange for old products, and encourage foreign-invested enterprises to actively participate in my country's standard construction and standard formulation and revision work.

The third is to strengthen service guarantee. In accordance with the requirements of "strengthening communication and exchanges with foreign businesses", we will give full play to the role of the Ministry of Commerce's special working group for key foreign-invested projects, organize and implement the "Service and Guarantee to Foreign Enterprises" visit activity; continue to hold a roundtable meeting of foreign-invested enterprises every month, focus on foreign-invested enterprises' key attention, and improve the efficiency of the roundtable.

China is a fertile ground for foreign-funded enterprises to invest and do business. We believe that with the implementation of various implementation measures, the development of foreign-funded enterprises in China will become better and better.
