BEIJING — China will further simplify approval proceedings and optimize services to encourage enterprises to resume work and production, according to the country's cabinet.

More convenient services will be provided to firms resuming work and production in most regions across the country, said a circular unveiled on March 4 by the State Council.

Measures will be taken to further streamline the approval process, including launching green channels of examination and approval for enterprises in key industries to raise the production resumption rate at a faster pace, said the circular.

Online platforms will be further used to provide services for firms and promote the landing of enterprise-friendly policies, according to the circular.

The circular stressed efforts to improve the service mechanism for enterprises to resume production, and to timely correct unreasonable management and control measures for both personnel and logistics.

Local departments are also urged to strengthen supervision and control over epidemic prevention in enterprises resuming work and production, the circular said.
