China aims for faster administrative approvals

BEIJING, Jan. 8  (NsNewsWire) — The Chinese central government has promised more efforts to accelerate the administrative approval process.

The State Council, China’s cabinet, published a document listing several measures to simplify approval procedures and improve transparency in the process after a meeting on Wednesday, reports Xinhua.

The meeting was presided over by Premier Li Keqiang.

China has worked to streamline administration and delegate powers to stimulate the market as part of its reform efforts amid an economic slowdown.

In the past two years, 798 administrative approval items have been canceled or delegated to local governments by the State Council.

However, more efforts are still needed for the measures to benefit people.
