General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the symposium on private enterprises provides fundamental guidance and direction for the high-quality development of the private economy. As a pioneer, pioneer, and experimental zone of reform and opening up, Guangdong has always been a fertile ground for the flourishing development of the private economy. Currently, it has over 18 million private business entities and is one of the most active areas for private economy and entrepreneurs in China. How can Guangdong implement the spirit of the symposium on private enterprises, promote the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy, and provide great opportunities for private enterprises and entrepreneurs? The reporter interviewed Wang Weizhong, Deputy Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Governor. How will Guangdong create a better business environment and provide stronger support for the development of private enterprises? Answer: General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we must resolutely remove all obstacles to the equal use of production factors and fair participation in market competition in accordance with the law, continue to promote the fair opening of infrastructure competitive fields to all types of business entities, and continue to make great efforts to solve the problem of difficult and expensive financing for private enterprises. We will actively create a market-oriented, rule of law, and international first-class business environment, benchmark against international advanced levels, deepen institutional and rule reforms, and continuously optimize a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable development environment. One is to conscientiously implement policy measures. We will fully implement policies and measures to promote the development of the private economy, resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and implement favorable policies for enterprises such as the "10 Measures to Reduce Manufacturing Costs", "10 Measures for Technological Transformation", and "15 Measures for Science and Technology Finance" in our province. In combination with the national "dual" and "two new" work arrangements, we will actively plan a batch of incremental policies, make good use of the "one click communication" platform for enterprise related policies, and promote enterprises to enjoy the benefits they deserve and enjoy them as soon as possible. The second is to relax market access and adhere to equal treatment. Actively serve and integrate into the unified national market, implement the "Regulations on Fair Competition Review", continuously eliminate explicit and implicit barriers to market access, and ensure that private enterprises use production factors equally and participate in market competition fairly in accordance with the law. Continuously promote fair opening up of infrastructure competitive fields to all types of business entities, and support private enterprises to actively participate in the "dual" construction and "two new" work. The third is to actively solve the problem of difficult and expensive financing, and cultivate "patient capital". Make good use of the coordination mechanism for supporting small and micro enterprise financing in Guangdong Province, improve the construction of the provincial government financing guarantee system, explore the establishment of a risk compensation mechanism, and focus on solving the long-standing bottlenecks and difficulties that restrict small and micro enterprise financing. We have fully launched the "Thousand Enterprises, Ten Thousand Households Visit" campaign, and since October last year, we have issued over 630 billion yuan in loans to support financing for small and micro enterprises. At the same time, guide various venture capital funds to increase their support for start-up and seed stage enterprises, cultivate "patient capital", establish a "due diligence exemption" system, and guide capital to invest in small investments in hard technology early on. The fourth is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of private enterprises and private entrepreneurs in accordance with the law. Standardize fees related to enterprises and improve the mechanism for clearing overdue corporate accounts. Carry out a special action to standardize law enforcement related to enterprises, concentrate on rectifying illegal fees, fines, inspections, and seizures, resolutely prevent illegal law enforcement in other places and profit driven law enforcement, and ensure that enterprises can operate and develop with peace of mind. Q: Based on the actual situation of private economy development in Guangdong, how can we promote high-quality development of the private economy? Answer: General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium on private enterprises that private enterprises have flourished with the great process of reform and opening up. Guangdong has always been a fertile ground for the flourishing development of the private economy, which has supported half of Guangdong's economy. We will conscientiously study and implement the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the symposium on private enterprises, starting from the actual situation in Guangdong, and provide greater development space for the private economy. One is to focus on cultivating a world-class enterprise group. Guangdong's private enterprises have strong strength, with 6 private enterprises entering the Fortune Global 500. In the 2024 list of the top 100 private economy industrial clusters, Guangdong has 12 industrial clusters on the list. There are leading companies such as Huawei, BYD, Tencent, and DJI, as well as numerous specialized and innovative "little giants" and hidden champions. We will deeply implement the "Ten Million, Ten Thousand" plan for cultivating high-quality enterprises, strive to cultivate 50 technology leading enterprises, 100 chain leading enterprises, 1000 manufacturing single champion enterprises, and 10000 specialized, refined, and new enterprises, promote the integration and coordinated development of upstream, midstream, downstream, large, medium, and small enterprises, polish the "golden signboard" of Guangdong's private economy, and strive to cultivate a world-class enterprise group. The second is to promote innovation capability to climb higher. Guangdong has a strong foundation in technological innovation, with its regional innovation capability ranking first in the country for 8 consecutive years. The province's major scientific and technological indicators, such as R&D funding, number of R&D personnel, number of high-tech enterprises, effective number of invention patents, and PCT international patent applications, all rank first in the country. Private enterprises are an important force in Guangdong's technological innovation, owning over 65% of the province's invention patents, over 75% of technological innovations, and over 80% of new products. We will leverage and make good use of this advantage, and continue to promote the opening of major scientific research infrastructure, large-scale scientific research instruments, and pilot platforms to private enterprises; Support eligible private enterprises to actively undertake national core technology research and major scientific research tasks, encourage private enterprises to build high-level innovation platforms, and take on the role of innovation protagonists. Thirdly, actively promote the modernization of the industrial system. On the first day of work during this year's Chinese New Year, the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government held the third Provincial Conference on High Quality Development, which clearly proposed the construction of a modern industrial system with more international competitiveness. State owned enterprises, private enterprises, and foreign enterprises are all important forces in Guangdong's industrial system, especially the added value of Guangdong's private economy has reached 7.78 trillion yuan, contributing more than 50% of the province's GDP and occupying an important position in many industries. We will base ourselves on the foundation of 9 trillion yuan level industrial clusters in Guangdong, with new economic added value accounting for more than 1/4 and high-tech manufacturing accounting for nearly 1/3. We will support private enterprises to deeply embed themselves in the modern industrial system, promote the improvement of the security and stability of the industrial chain through industrial clusters, and take on great responsibilities in the modern industrial system. How can Guangdong support and promote private enterprises and entrepreneurs to showcase their talents in the new era and new journey? Answer: General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that some of the difficulties and challenges currently facing the development of the private economy are generally arising from the process of reform and development, industrial transformation and upgrading, and are local rather than overall, temporary rather than long-term, and can be overcome rather than unsolvable. Guangdong is located at the intersection of domestic and international dual circulation, with significant benefits from national strategies such as the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. It has a permanent population of 127.8 million and a real-time population of 150 million in Guangdong. With good geographical advantages, sufficient policy dividends, and strong economic vitality, the basic fundamentals of stable and positive development have not changed, and the private economy has great potential. We will conduct in-depth analysis of external pressures and internal factors, correctly understand the opportunities and challenges faced by the development of the private economy, adhere to and implement the "two unwavering" policies, adopt multiple measures and precise policies, and enable private enterprises and entrepreneurs to demonstrate their abilities. One is to establish a long-term mechanism, which means' everything will be disrupted and everything will come '. Actively building a pro Qing government business relationship, improving the normalized communication and contact mechanism for private enterprises, making good use of platforms such as face-to-face consultations and symposiums between Guangdong businessmen and provincial governors, and establishing a mechanism for provincial, municipal, and county leaders to directly contact enterprises. Adhering to the principle of 'no disturbance, no need to come', we carefully listen to the opinions and suggestions of enterprises and provide comprehensive and diversified services for private enterprises. Improve the long-term mechanism for private enterprises to participate in major projects, plan, design, and promote demonstration projects and application scenarios for private capital, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of private investment. The second is to focus on providing support and assistance, and to lead innovation and face the world. Accelerate the construction of a full process innovation chain, implement policies such as industrial technological transformation and R&D expense deduction, promote "chain transformation", and this year promote over 10000 industrial enterprises to carry out technological transformation and digital transformation, continuously improving the quality, efficiency, and core competitiveness of enterprises. Support private enterprises to continuously enhance their international competitiveness, make good use of functional platforms such as the "Going Global" comprehensive service base for Chinese enterprises, strengthen foreign-related legal services, and encourage private enterprises to participate in international cooperation. The third is to promote encouragement and guidance, and to "adhere to the main business and strengthen the industry". We will conscientiously implement the national work deployment to promote the development of the private economy, guide and encourage private enterprises to adhere to the principle of putting the real economy first, leading the manufacturing industry, insisting on high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, accelerating the development of new quality productive forces, establishing a modern enterprise system, and doing better, stronger and bigger in participating in Guangdong's high-quality development and modernization construction.
