China's most recent pilot program to enhance its business climate includes more steps to draw in international expertise and investment, including streamlining employment certification, more effective legal dispute resolution procedures, and making it simpler to register children for school.
The State Council released a policy statement last month that laid out a number of initiatives for improving business-related administrative services in six cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, and Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong province.
According to Ma Liang, a professor of public management at the Renmin University of China, the program represented the most recent national efforts to adapt the nation's business environment to international standards and will give foreigners, particularly entrepreneurs, a better business and living experience in China.
"It will provide foreign businesses more convenient, efficient, and tailored public services," he said.
The six cities will offer diversified, efficient, and convenient services to foreign businesses looking to settle disputes, including measures to develop centers that provide one-stop services.
Dispute resolution organizations and arbitration bodies will be encouraged to hire foreign mediators and arbitrators as part of the program.
The six cities will also explore ways to set standards for the certification of top-notch talent, especially those that are severely lacking nationwide. Local authorities will also pilot the establishment of a mechanism that allows expats to practice certain professions on the condition that they have already obtained the relevant qualifications or certificates overseas or from universally recognized international organizations.
The government will consider establishing an evaluation system for talent that is in line with international rules, the policy document said.
It added that the level of service from the international versions of government web portals will be upgraded to help expats better understand investment opportunities, employment, and other policies.
Under the program, the government will widen market access for operators of schools for foreign children and allow domestic businesses and Chinese citizens to open schools for them.
Authorities will also increase administrative approval for procedures concerning expats as part of one-stop online services, the document said.
A level playing field is a key goal of the program, which pledged to offer the same treatment to businesses, whether they are domestic or foreign.
