After listening to the lectures and exchange speeches, Li Qiang pointed out that optimizing the business environment is the key to cultivating and stimulating market vitality and enhancing the endogenous driving force of development. It is necessary to thoroughly study and implement Xi spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions and important instructions on optimizing the business environment, always adhere to the problem-oriented and demand-oriented, accelerate the reform of key areas and key links, and continue to work hard and make long-term contributions to the construction of a market-oriented, law-based, international, first-class business environment, so as to provide strong support for promoting high-quality development.

Li Qiang pointed out that after long-term unremitting efforts, China's business environment has continued to improve, and the sense of gain of the masses and enterprises has been continuously enhanced. At the same time, we must also realize that there is no such thing as the best business environment, only a better one. In the next step, it is necessary to further enhance the level of marketization around better safeguarding fair competition, support the development and growth of enterprises of all types of ownership without discrimination, speed up the construction of a large unified national market, intensify efforts to clean up and abolish regulations and practices that hinder the unified market and fair competition, and earnestly ensure that enterprises of all types of ownership participate in fair competition. It is necessary to further improve the level of rule of law around better protecting the legitimate rights and interests of all types of business entities, continue to improve the legal and regulatory system, strictly regulate fair and civilized law enforcement, standardize the discretionary power of administrative punishment, innovate regulatory methods, improve regulatory efficiency, and create a stable, transparent, standardized, and predictable legal environment. It is necessary to further enhance the level of internationalization around better promoting trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, strengthen the docking with high-standard international economic and trade rules, give full play to the stress testing role of platforms such as pilot free trade zones, and form more leading and landmark institutional innovation achievements.

Li Qiang pointed out that improving the level of government services is not only an important part of optimizing the business environment, but also the proper meaning of strengthening the government's own construction and effectively transforming its functions to improve efficiency. It is necessary to comply with the escalating needs of the masses and enterprises for government services, and introduce more good practices of "doing one thing efficiently", so that the masses and enterprises can feel the real changes every year. It is necessary to rely on the national integrated government service platform to promote the normalization of government service efficiency, further improve the mechanism, optimize the process, improve online and offline service channels, make full use of new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, and continuously improve the standardization, standardization and facilitation of government services.
