Guangdong keeps it simple for growth

Guangdong province, the pioneer of China's opening-up and reform policy, has taken the lead in administrative reforms to unleash the potential of the economy, especially in the private sector.

These reforms are having an impact. Last year, the provincial government abolished or delegated to lower levels 69 administrative examination and approval items, according to the government work report delivered by Guangdong Governor Zhu Xiaodan at the annual session of the local legislature on Feb 9.

Zhu said that the province will further streamline and delegate its approval and review powers this year.
