China's State Council on Friday pledged efforts to further promote high-quality development of the pilot free trade zones (FTZs) across the country.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang chaired a State Council executive meeting in Beijing, which heard a report on the development of the FTZs and approved a revised regulation on the implementation of the Administrative Reconsideration Law.
The meeting noted that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, the country's FTZs have achieved breakthroughs in deepening reform, expanding opening up, and promoting development, effectively fulfilling their roles as comprehensive pilot platforms.
It called for further implementing an FTZ upgrading strategy, reforming and improving the relevant institutional mechanisms, optimizing their layout, and facilitating the efforts of the FTZs to better serve overall national development, adding that region-specific policies should be adopted to promote high-quality FTZ development.
China supports Shanghai and other FTZs in aligning with high-standard international economic and trade rules, and steadily advancing institutional opening up in rules, management and standards, according to the meeting.
Efforts will be made to explore and form more replicable and scalable experiences and practices in the operation of FTZs to enable them to better play their leading and exemplary role, according to the meeting.
On administrative reconsideration, the meeting noted that the newly revised regulation refines relevant legal provisions, and addresses new issues in practices.
The meeting called on all regions and government departments to strengthen self-supervision, standardize administrative actions, and continuously enhance the government's governance capacity and credibility.
