Recently, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce released the results of the 2021 “Evaluation of Business Environment by Ten Thousands of Private Enterprises”. The comprehensive score of the business environment in Changsha, Hunan Province ranked 9th in the country, ranking first in the central region.
Behind this dazzling report card is Changsha’s continuous efforts to create a fair, transparent, and predictable business environment under the rule of law.
A reporter from the “Rule of Law Daily” recently learned from the Changsha Judicial Bureau that in recent years, Changsha has taken the lead in building a government under the rule of law that the people are satisfied with. Business environment, committed to creating a model city for the construction of a national rule of law government. It has successively won the Chinese Government Award for the Rule of Law, the National Advanced Unit for the Construction of the Rule of Law Government, and the title of China’s benchmark city for international business environment construction.
Break the game: create a fair and orderly market environment
“The comprehensive construction of a new modern Changsha led by the’three highs and four new’s requires the guidance and protection of the rule of law.” At the Changsha Municipal Party Committee’s Work Conference on the Comprehensive Rule of Law in the City and the Mobilization Meeting for the Establishment of a Model City for the Construction of a National Rule of Law Government, the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, Wu Guiying, secretary of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee, pointed out that it is necessary to learn deeply and apply Xi Jinping’s rule of law thoughts, aiming at the planning goals of the “14th Five-Year” rule of law, and build a ruled city, a rule of law government, and a society ruled by law. Citizens’ high-quality life and efficient urban governance.
The goal has been anchored, and the action is rushed. In recent years, Changsha has always insisted that the construction of the rule of law and economic development resonate at the same frequency, releasing new institutional dividends for optimizing the business environment. It has successively formulated more than 60 systems with demonstrative significance throughout the country, providing institutional support for the construction of a higher level of rule of law in Changsha.
From having laws to follow to good law and governance, Changsha actively complied with the expectations of the people, took the lead in establishing the first batch of government legislative contact points in the province, and established a public participation legislative mechanism; issued a series of laws and regulations such as the “Changsha City Civilized Behavior Promotion Regulations”, etc. Vigorously responded to the voices of the masses.
In order to refine the specific matters of major administrative decision-making and quantify the standards, Changsha issued the “Changsha Municipal People’s Government’s Implementation Measures for Major Administrative Decision-Making Procedures” and the “Changsha Municipal People’s Government’s Major Administrative Decision-Making Events Catalog”, which determined that major decision-making matters mainly include the formulation of major public Policies and measures, formulating important plans for economic and social development, and other six aspects.
To optimize the business environment under the rule of law, administrative actions must be regulated from the source. To this end, Changsha has established a high-standard normative document management database, and dynamically cleaned up normative documents, with a 100% review of the legality of normative documents. Efficiently promote the reform of the administrative reconsideration system, create a “sunshine reconsideration”, innovate the “Internet + administrative reconsideration” model, and realize centralized, standardized and coordinated handling of reconsideration cases.
Optimization: Simple and fast to serve the masses of enterprises
“Registering a company is like taking a high-speed rail, with fast speed and good service.” After completing the business establishment procedures in Yuhua District, the citizen Cheng Chendong used a vivid metaphor. This is due to the “dual-channel” reform of enterprises launched by Yuhua District, the “on-line transfer and immediate action” zero-face-to-face approval, and the “offline immediate action” allows applications to be completed within two hours at the earliest. Licensing is desirable.
In recent years, Changsha City has implemented “reduction of certificates to facilitate the people”, promoted the reform of “one thing one time”, realized “maximum run once”, online “one network connection”, offline “one window”, etc. to optimize the level of government services Continuous measures have been taken to continuously improve the business experience and satisfaction of enterprises and the public.
“I brought with you incomplete certification materials. I thought I would have to run a few more times. I didn’t expect to apply at the’one thing once’ window and completed the new certification in less than 15 minutes.” Ms. Huang, a kindergarten worker in Furong District , I was full of praise for the efficiency of the Furong District Government Service Hall.
Ms. Huang’s “speedy” application is due to the “acceptance acceptance” service launched by Changsha. According to the staff at the counter, functional departments can “temporarily tolerate” administrative approval items that meet the basic requirements, complete the main declaration materials and meet the statutory requirements, but the secondary conditions or procedures are lacking. Fill up the materials within the corresponding time.
We vigorously promoted local offices at the grass-roots level, built 54 government posts in business districts, buildings, communities, and parks, built a 24-hour self-service area, and built a 15-minute government service circle… On November 11, Changsha City’s “decentralized management service” and The “One Thing, One Time” reform experience exchange meeting was held to summarize and exchange the results of reform experience, and deploy and promote the key tasks of the next stage.
Supervision: Promote standardized, fair and civilized law enforcement
Recently, Jiucaiyuan Street in Furong District has jointly carried out comprehensive inspection and law enforcement in cooperation with urban management and food safety departments. After checking the relevant qualification documents of the enterprise, the joint law enforcement team conducted an investigation on hidden hazards such as the safe use of store gas, whether the fire extinguishing equipment is complete, and environmental sanitation.
“In the past, the various departments were separated, and now a number of inspections are done at one time, which reduces our burden.” The shop owner Ling Yimin said.
The good “inspection” experience of enterprises originates from the relatively centralized administrative penalty reform implemented by Changsha. In order to effectively solve the problems of multiple law enforcement and repeated law enforcement, Changsha City has promoted market supervision, ecological environmental protection and other fields in accordance with the law. According to the principle of one law enforcement team in one field, it has coordinated the allocation of law enforcement functions and law enforcement resources.
“We must stand at the height of building a government under the rule of law and safeguarding people’s rights and interests, learn to make good use of the newly revised Administrative Penalty Law, improve law enforcement methods, strengthen law enforcement supervision, enhance law enforcement efficiency, and ensure that all administrative law enforcement actions run on the track of the rule of law.” Changsha Zheng Jianxin, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, mayor, and secretary of the Party Working Committee of Hunan Xiangjiang New District, put forward clear requirements for administrative law enforcement.
Since the promulgation of the new Administrative Penalty Law, Changsha City has vigorously implemented the “three systems” of administrative law enforcement, established a high-standard comprehensive management information system for the city’s administrative law enforcement, took the lead in implementing the law enforcement data regular report system in the province, and scientifically compiled the “Changsha City Administrative Law Enforcement in 2020″ Data Analysis Report” to accelerate the realization of “digital law enforcement” and “cloud supervision”.
Favorable enterprises: boosting high-quality economic development
The Public Legal Service Center of Yuelu Mountain Science and Technology City, which was inaugurated in June last year, has become a “caring person” in the hearts of surrounding science and technology enterprises and college teachers and students. In order to alleviate the financial pressure of science and technology enterprises, especially small and micro enterprises, the center provides free legal service packages including equity structure, company articles of association, and contract specifications for the first batch of more than 1,000 enterprises in DaTech City.
Building a legal service network covering all businesses, all time and space, and all-round is an important boost to optimizing the business environment under the rule of law. Zhang Min, member of the Standing Committee of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, clearly stated that the judicial administrative team of the city must always adhere to the people-centered thinking, actively respond to the new needs of the people, and introduce more in administrative legislation, mediation of conflicts and disputes, and public legal services. Measures to facilitate the people and benefit the people, implement the concept of law enforcement for the people, and strive to enhance the people’s sense of gain.
With the “professional + industry” model, we will continue to in-depth “one-to-one” legal services for enterprises in the park, and solve corporate governance, intellectual property, labor and employment issues in accordance with the law. In order to continue to optimize the business environment, the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Justice and the Municipal Lawyers Association actively carried out the “Party Building Leading and Helping Thousands of Enterprises” action this year, optimizing and upgrading the 22 industrial chain legal service groups, expanding the number of members to 497, and visiting the chain. There are more than 400 enterprises.
“We will build a higher level of rule of law in Changsha, protect the legitimate rights and interests of various market players in accordance with the law, aim at the satisfaction of enterprises and the masses, rely on rule of law services, rule of law guarantees, and rule of law propaganda, and continue to optimize with more pragmatic measures. The rule of law business environment provides legal support for the comprehensive construction of a new modern Changsha led by the “three highs and four new”.” said Yin Xiaoying, director of the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Justice.
