Shaoxing requires entrepreneurs' input on key business policies

Shaoxing has enacted the "Measures for Entrepreneurs' Participation in Business Policy Development", establishing a formal process for including business leaders in major economic decisions. The policies covered include industry plans, market access rules, environmental standards, safety regulations, government procurement, innovation programs, and talent recruitment initiatives — any policies significantly affecting businesses' rights or operations. Government departments must select representatives from an entrepreneur database managed by relevant authorities to participate in drafting these policies. This approach aims to create business policies grounded in practical expertise while enhancing collaboration between the government and the private sector.
