Speed up cracking market access "glass door", "revolving door", "spring door"
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant parties, carried out the 7th batch of investigations and clearing of violations of the negative list of market access, and publicly notified 10 typical cases. For example, in the bidding of a certain project, restrictions on the participation of small-scale construction enterprises in the bidding, illegal requirements for bidding enterprises must be registered in the local registration, the establishment of local branches, preventing the equal access of business entities in accordance with the law. Another example is the illegal addition of wind energy resource development and operation access conditions in a certain place, requiring private enterprises to bind state-owned enterprises to jointly participate in wind farm resource development, which is a typical setting of market access barriers.

The National Development and Reform Commission will discover, rectify and notify local violations of the market access system, accelerate the cracking of all kinds of market access "glass doors", "revolving doors" and "spring doors", and create a more just and transparent access environment according to law and regulations.
