Promulgation of private sector promotion law timely, significant, says official
BEIJING (April 30): The promulgation of China's private sector promotion law is timely and of great significance, said Yang Heqing, head of the economic law department of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.
Chinese lawmakers voted to adopt the private sector promotion law after a draft version was submitted for the third review at the 15th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th NPC that concluded today.
For the first time 'unswervingly consolidating and developing the public sector and unswervingly encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public sector' and 'facilitating the healthy development of the non-public sector and those working in it' are written into law, Yang said during the latest episode of China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk show hosted by Xinhua News Agency.
In an unprecedented move, this law stipulates that promoting the sustained, healthy and high-quality development of the private economy is a major and long-term policy of China, Yang noted.
Since the reform and opening up in 1978, China's private economy has grown from small to large and from weak to strong, constantly developing and expanding.
However, as the problems of unbalanced and inadequate development in the country remain prominent, and changes unseen in a century accelerate across the globe, the private economy is facing new opportunities as well as many difficulties and challenges in its development, Yang noted.
The formulation of the law is of great and far-reaching significance for stabilising expectations and boosting confidence throughout society, stimulating the development momentum of the private economy, and promoting high-quality development.
Yang also stressed the need to promote the formulation and revision of supporting regulations and systems in a coordinated manner, as well as the implementation of various support and guarantee measures in detail, to ensure the correct and effective application of this law. – Xinhua China private sector promotion law Xinhua

PBS calls on members to rally behind GRS in upcoming elections
KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has reminded its members of the support provided by Pakatan Harapan during the January 2023 Sabah political crisis. PBS acting president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam said that if it were not for Pakatan at that time, PBS might have been in the opposition stand. In that event, Sabah Barisan had withdrawn its support for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), but Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor remained in power with the backing of Sabah Pakatan assemblymen. Gunsalam said this was why GRS would continue to work with Pakatan in the coming state election and why there was a need for PBS members to give their full support. Gunsalam called on all party members to also stay united and work with other GRS partners to face the upcoming state election. He advised against blindly trusting social media messages, as there were daily efforts to weaken the connection between PBS, Sabah STAR and Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah within GRS. 'If you have any doubts, ask your division chiefs for clarification. Division chiefs who are unsure of anything, please refer to the central leadership first before issuing any statement or response to any issues,' he said. Gunsalam said this when officiating the annual general meeting for three divisions: Lamag, Sukau and Sekong in Sandakan, on Saturday (Aug 16). His statement came after Sabah STAR stated its intention to contest in Chinese-majority seats in the coming state election. Chinese majority seats are usually allocated to partner parties in Pakatan. GRS is an eight-party coalition made up of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah, Usno, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), Sabah STAR, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Parti Cinta Sabah.

Chery becomes first Chinese carmaker to export over 5 million vehicles
KUALA LUMPUR: Chery International Group has become the first Chinese car company to export more than five million vehicles worldwide. It has also maintained the No. 1 position for passenger car exports for 22 consecutive years. In July, Chery International achieved the "Double 500" milestone, emerging as the fastest-rising carmaker on both the Fortune Global 500 and the Fortune China 500 lists. The group is now ranked 233rd globally, up from 385th in 2024. It is ranked 59th in China, up from 100th in 2024. These achievements were driven by the Omoda/Jaecoo brand in 44 markets across Asean, Europe, Australia and South America. In just over two years, Omoda/Jaecoo amassed a 37 per cent share of Chery International's total export volume, with cumulative global sales surpassing 570,000 units. It is the fastest emerging brand globally to exceed the half-million mark in sales. Omoda/Jaecoo models have also made significant strides in the new energy vehicle (NEV) category. In the first quarter of this year, NEV models accounted for 13,023 units, a sharp rise from 2,325 units in the same period in 2024. In the first half of 2025, NEVs accounted for 40 per cent of its total exports. Omoda/Jaecoo's global momentum is equally evident in Europe, where it has become the fastest-growing Chinese automotive brand and the first ever to sell over 10,000 units in Spain within 11 months in the market. In Malaysia, the brand grew quickly after the Jaecoo J7 was launched in July 2024. The company announced that more than 17,000 of its vehicles are now on Malaysian roads. According to the Road Transport Department, Omoda/Jaecoo remained among Malaysia's top five automotive brands in the first half of 2025. Moving forward, Omoda/Jaecoo's global export strategy will focus on deeper investments in key markets in Europe, South America and Asean. Malaysia will serve as the centralised right-hand drive hub to support the brand's global ambitions.
