China Economic Roundtable: China works to ensure fair competition for all market players
BEIJING: China's newly adopted private sector promotion law underscores the country's commitment to fostering an equitable competitive environment for all market participants, according to an official of the country's top economic planner.
Speaking on the latest episode of China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk show hosted by Xinhua News Agency, Liu Min, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission's private economy development bureau, emphasised that the aim of the law, which was approved on Wednesday (April 30), is to enable economic entities with diverse ownership structures to compete on a level playing field.
The legislation reinforces China's adherence to the principles of equality, fair competition, equal protection and shared development to bolster the private sector's growth, Liu noted.
The commission will collaborate with other government bodies to implement the latest version of the national market access negative list, which has been streamlined from 117 to 106 items.
"The shorter the list, the more vibrant the market," Liu said when highlighting the connection between regulation and market dynamism.
China will also intensify efforts to eliminate market access barriers and enhance support for private enterprises, including support in the areas of finance, talent and technology, the official added. - Xinhua

HANOI: Vietnam's National Assembly on Wednesday passed a revised Penal Code, abolishing the death penalty for eight crimes, including embezzlement, reported Xinhua quoting a Vietnam News Agency report. The revision law also allows life-term sentences for embezzlement or bribery, which may be reduced only if offenders return at least three-fourths of the assets and actively assist authorities or make major contributions, according to the report. Under the revised law, the death penalty will be eliminated for other seven crimes, including subversion, sabotage of infrastructure, counterfeit drug trafficking, illegal drug transport, war aggression, espionage, and bribery, the report added. Minister of Justice Nguyen Hai Ninh said the amended law will help strengthen cooperative relations based on mutual trust, while reflecting the responsibility and capacity of state management and judicial agencies in the current context.

China's poverty eradication role model for other countries: Timor-Leste president
Xinhua 24 Jun 2025, 21:45 GMT+10 KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Xinhua) -- China's poverty eradication efforts will serve as a role model for other countries to follow suit, Jose Ramos-Horta, president of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, has told Xinhua. Speaking following a ceremony to mark the bestowment of an honorary professorship to him by Malaysia's Taylor's University here last week, Ramos-Horta also commended China's progress in food security and the support it has extended to Timor-Leste, particularly in boosting agricultural productivity. During his first state visit to China last July, Ramos-Horta said, he appealed for support in improving the island nation's poverty eradication and agricultural efforts. Noting "We have a strong relationship with China," he said he believes China's expertise can help boost Timor-Leste's efforts in poverty reduction. "And in a very typical Chinese way of doing things -- fast action, talk and act. (Chinese) engineers for water and infrastructure were mobilized," he said, adding that with Chinese support, the agriculture output has increased and can go up even further.
