Official: Market best for tech firm guidance

The government should offer both guidance and liberty to enterprises involved in the nation's sharing economy sector, letting the market play a dominant role, an official said during a seminar held on Thursday.

"The market should be free, equal and open. In terms of innovation, enterprises should play a leading role," said Zhang Guohua, director of the comprehensive transportation department of the China Center for Urban Development under the National Development and Reform Commission, in a speech at the sharing economy seminar held by the State Information Center.

"Therefore, the government should pay close attention to its supervision mechanism, and offer support through resources, public services and social institutions."
