BEIJING, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) — China will push forward with the expansion of service sector opening-up in nine more cities on a pilot basis, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement Friday.
Nine cities – Dalian, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Hefei, Fuzhou, Xi'an and Suzhou – will be tasked with implementing 159 pilot measures targeting key service sector sectors such as telecommunications, healthcare and financial services, the department said.
These cities will be encouraged to adopt differentiated approaches tailored to local conditions. For example, the coastal city of Dalian will be supported in leveraging its catalytic role as Northeast Asia's international shipping hub to improve logistics channels, while Ningbo will be encouraged to strengthen its strengths in advanced manufacturing and cross-border trade.
In April last year, the expansion of service sector openness was initiated in nine of the above-mentioned cities in addition to the 11 existing pilot areas in the country.
Since the launch of the pilot program in 2015, China has continued to expand its institutional openness in terms of rules, regulations, governance, and standards. China also continues to create a world-class, market-oriented, and law-based internationalized business climate, providing a stable, open political environment for investment and business.
