Reference Message Network reported on April 23 that according to a report from Prensa Latina on April 20, China is currently promoting a work plan to accelerate the opening of services in pilot areas and strengthen the experimental role of these pilot areas.
The report stated that the Ministry of Commerce of China said that this work plan mainly includes three aspects: accelerating the implementation rhythm of the pilots, integrating pilot tasks in eligible pilot areas; expanding the pilot scope, including nine cities such as Dalian, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, and Shenzhen into the pilot scope; increasing the intensity of pressure tests and replication and promotion.
Before widespread implementation, the open innovation measures for services will be piloted first in these pilot areas.
According to the official work plan, the task list proposes 155 pilot tasks around 14 aspects, including "supporting the open development of telecommunications services and related digital industries, improving the level of openness and service security in medical care and health care fields, promoting international cooperation in the financial sector, enhancing innovative vitality in the business and cultural tourism sectors, and upgrading the international competitiveness of advanced manufacturing and modern services integration" and so on.
The report pointed out that facing the complex international situation caused by factors such as the tariff war initiated by the United States, China has repeatedly reiterated its determination to further expand openness.
The National Development and Reform Commission of China previously emphasized a series of measures to expand openness, stabilize foreign trade, and strengthen the use of foreign investment. These measures aim to promote domestic reforms, promote international cooperation, and consolidate economic development.
China released the "2025 Foreign Investment Action Plan" and revised and expanded the Encouraged Foreign Investment Industry Catalogue, guiding more foreign investment towards advanced manufacturing, modern services, high-tech, energy conservation, environmental protection, and other fields. The Chinese government will promote the opening of service sectors such as telecommunications, healthcare, and education. (Compiled/Translated by Tian Ce)
