Wanning, a coastal city in South China's Hainan province, has an ambitious goal of building a number of industries valued at over 10 billion yuan ($1.55 billion), said local officials during an interview by a group of national media reporters on Sept 14.
According to Party chief He Jingping, Wanning, at the eastern coast of tropical Hainan island, is improving the local business environment in three ways: the first focus is on serving full industrial chains; the second focus is to support the entire life cycle of an enterprise; and the third key point is building a reputable government and an integral society.
Wanning municipal administrative examination and approval service bureau now undertakes 345 examination and approval items transferred from 22 departments in the city and 51 items delegated from provincial departments. The examination and approval time has been reduced by more than 70 percent and procedures have been cut by more than 50 percent.
