Deeply promoting the construction of a unified national market ※
Xi Jinping
's construction of a unified national market is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee. In recent years, we have issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Unified National Market and a series of supporting measures to promote the construction of a unified national market and achieve positive results. But on the whole, this task is still arduous, and the construction of a unified national market is facing many difficulties and obstacles.
the construction of a unified national market is not only the need to build a new development pattern and promote high-quality development, but also the need to win the initiative of international competition. As the second largest consumer market in the world, China must build a unified national market and strengthen our ability to cope with risks and challenges calmly.
To further promote the construction of a unified national market, the basic requirement is "five unification and one opening up". "Five Unifications" refers to the unification of the basic market system, especially the unification of property rights protection, fair competition, quality standards and other systems; the unification of market infrastructure, the opening of logistics, capital flow and information flow, and the improvement of the modern commercial circulation system; Unify the scale of government behavior. When promoting economic development, especially when attracting investment, local governments should have clear rules about what they can do and what they can't do, and they should not go their own way. Unify market supervision and law enforcement, clarify the discretion benchmark of administrative penalties for market supervision, and measure it with one ruler to the end. Unify the market of factor resources, promote free flow and efficient allocation, and reduce the mismatch and waste of resources. "Opening up" means continuing to expand opening up, opening up to the outside world, and not engaging in closed operation.
To implement these basic requirements, the most urgent thing at present is to focus on key and difficult points and make up our minds to eliminate persistent illnesses.
First, efforts should be made to rectify the disorder of low-price competition among enterprises. The "involution" disaster-stricken areas should be effectively managed in accordance with the law and regulations. Better play the role of self-discipline of trade associations, guide enterprises to improve product quality, implement high quality and high price, and oppose low price and low quality. Promote the orderly withdrawal of backward production capacity and achieve dynamic market clearance. Online and offline integrated governance.
Second, efforts should be made to rectify the chaos in government procurement bidding. Focus on rectifying prominent problems such as winning the bid at the lowest price, shoddy , interest collusion and so on.Standardize government procurement and bidding, strengthen the fairness review of the bidding results, improve the normal appeal channels of enterprises, and improve the complaint handling mechanism.
Third, efforts should be made to rectify the chaos of local investment attraction. A unified national list of local investment promotion activities should be formulated, and specific actions should be clearly encouraged and prohibited. Establish and improve a standardized financial subsidy policy system. Strengthen the disclosure of investment promotion information. Violations should be dealt with seriously after verification.
Fourth, efforts should be made to promote the integration of domestic and foreign trade. Smooth the path of export to domestic sales, improve the consistency of domestic and international standards, build a comprehensive service platform for the integration of domestic and foreign trade, cultivate a number of high-quality domestic and foreign trade enterprises, and carry out the activities of "China Travel for Excellent Foreign Trade Products".
Fifth, efforts should be made to make up for the shortcomings of laws and regulations. Revise and improve laws and regulations such as bidding law and price law, and strengthen the rigid constraints of system standards. We will continue to carry out special actions to standardize law enforcement involving enterprises. We will improve the fiscal and taxation system, the statistical accounting system and the credit system that are conducive to the unification of the market.
Sixth, efforts should be made to rectify view of political achievement deviations. Improve the high-quality development assessment system and the cadre performance evaluation system. We should promptly criticize and correct such acts as attracting investment in violation of regulations, engaging in local protection , and new officials ignoring old accounts , and seriously investigate the responsibility for the bad nature.
Building a unified national market is both a tough battle and a protracted battle, and all regions and departments should implement it from a political and overall perspective. The central and local governments, local and local governments, enterprises and enterprises should strengthen coordination and cooperation to form a joint force for promotion.
This is part of General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the sixth meeting of the 20th Central Committee on Finance and Economics on July 1, 2025.
