The 6th seminar on “To Face the Real World” at RUC NADS

A Survey of National Commercial System Reform

The reform of the commercial system is a hot spot of practice in comprehensively deepening reforms. During July and August in 2018, Xu Xianxiang's research team went to the government affairs halls of 182 districts in 16 provinces across the country for field survey. They examined four dimensions of the commercial system including market entities’ application for business licenses, various types of licenses, market supervision and digital government, in order to systematically explore the progress of the reform of commercial system in various places, the main problems it is facing and the direction of deepening the reform. An analysis of the reform of the commercial system will help us understand China's business environment and the relations between politics and business.
