General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council: Promote industry associations and chambers of commerce to deepen reform.

The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council have issued opinions on promoting the deepening reform of industry associations and chambers of commerce. The opinions propose strict management of the establishment of enterprises by industry associations and chambers of commerce. Industry associations and chambers of commerce should strictly control the establishment of enterprises based on the principles of legality, necessity, standardization, and effectiveness; they should not establish enterprises that directly compete with their members, should not establish enterprises beyond their own purposes and business scope, should not use the established enterprises to engage in activities that disrupt market order; the profits obtained from the established enterprises should be used for purposes that align with the mission of the industry associations and chambers of commerce; the leaders of industry associations and chambers of commerce and their relatives should not hold positions or receive compensation or various types of subsidies from the established enterprises. The management measures for the establishment of enterprises by industry associations and chambers of commerce should be formulated, strict establishment procedures should be established, supervision measures should be improved, and risk control should be strengthened.
