Chengdu administrative reforms attract more foreign companies

Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, is trying to make it easier for foreign-funded enterprises to do business by simplifying administrative procedures and increasing transparency.

Authorities have simplified 7,437 administrative channels under city-level government agencies after abolishing 549 regulatory items and readjusting 403 others.

A checklist on the administrative powers of government agencies at the city level is also being developed and will be published soon.
