In recent times, the mainland society has continued to release the development of the economy and loosen the constraints on entrepreneurs and the platform economy. Four years ago, Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, issued the "Implementation Opinions on Further Regulating Political and Commercial Interactions and Promoting the Construction of a New Type of Friendly Political and Commercial Relations". ", people are deeply moved after watching it.
The document stipulates ten behaviors that public officials can carry out and eight behaviors that should not be done, and encourages officials and businessmen to have normal contact and positive communication.
Among them, the ten possible communication behaviors are intended to solve problems for private enterprises. For example, they can participate in various public business activities such as symposiums, tea parties, and annual meetings held by private enterprises and industry associations (chambers of commerce).
The eight should not be social behaviors include not "ignoring the legitimate demands of enterprises, ignoring the difficulties of enterprises, shuffling, inaction, and lazy procrastination in service enterprises", not "one size fits all" for private enterprises, and not "new officials ignore old things" .
It should be said that although the document was four years ago, it still has practical significance.
In recent years, the phenomenon of official inaction in the Mainland has been very prominent, and cases of indolence and slack in government are not uncommon.
For example, some public officials seem to deliberately hide from entrepreneurs and ignore the legitimate demands of enterprises in order to avoid suspicion, but in fact they dare not and do not want to take responsibility.
Another common form is "new officials ignore old affairs." New officials are afraid of avoiding the legitimate demands of private enterprises, and are unwilling to fulfill the contracts signed by former officials on behalf of the government and enterprises according to law, resulting in protracted problems. .
Similar problems not only appear in many underdeveloped provinces and cities, but also in first-tier cities that should do better.
In recent years, the central government has repeatedly emphasized improving the business environment.
The picture shows that on September 11, 2020, the State Council held a national teleconference on deepening the reform of "decentralization, regulation and service" to optimize the business environment.

In order to solve this problem, the central government issued repeated orders and repeated orders, but the bans continued repeatedly.
In recent years, under the prevailing anti-capital and criticizing atmosphere in the society, many entrepreneurs are facing the problem of lack of confidence.
Especially under the impact of the new crown epidemic in the past three years, many private enterprises have suffered even worse, and the tide of layoffs and salary cuts has spread widely.
For the first time in their lives, many young people who were born in the period when the mainland's economy took off felt the chill brought about by the slowdown in economic growth.
Under this situation, the social climate in the Mainland has begun to change. In 2021, the Central Economic Work Conference revisited "focusing on economic construction", and in 2022, the epidemic prevention and control policy will be fully liberalized.
The latest central work conference held not long ago called for "supporting platform companies to lead development, create jobs, and demonstrate their talents in international competition."
Immediately afterwards, Yi Lianhong, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, made a special trip to Alibaba Group for inspection. This is the highest-level official that Alibaba has welcomed in recent years.
After more than a year, Didi, which has been comprehensively rectified, recently resumed new user registration.
All of these show that the wind direction has changed, and the mainland society will encourage the platform economy and private entrepreneurs to show their talents.
The completion of Didi Crossing Tribulation reflects to a certain extent that the social wind direction in the Mainland has changed.

A businessman is an ancient profession.
In a market economy, the role of businessmen is especially important.
How to deal with businessmen has always been a common problem faced by different types of governments in China and the West in ancient and modern times.
Officials and businessmen get too close, which may lead to collusion between officials and businessmen to fish and meat the common people.
Conversely, if the distance between officials and businessmen is too far, it will hinder economic development.
Regardless of the emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business in ancient Chinese history, or the complete negation of capital in the mainland before the reform and opening up, they are all lessons.
The socialist market economy formed since the reform and opening up can be said to be the result of thousands of years of Chinese society exploring the relationship between politics and business.
Socialism as a prefix means that Chinese society must adhere to fairness and justice at least from the level it should be, and capital should be controlled and regulated so that the fruits of development can benefit the general public.
A market economy means that entrepreneurship should be respected and promoted, so that all the people with businessmen as important participants can give full play to their talents in a fair environment.
Compared with the past emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business and blindly rejecting and denying capital, the socialist market economy is definitely an improvement.
But this is a macroscopic and abstract statement after all. In real life, how the government or officials deal with businessmen and what kind of political-business relationship is healthy and sustainable are still issues that cannot be avoided.
Recently, mainland China has continued to release signals supporting the development of the platform economy.

China's economic take-off over the past 40 years is inseparable from the joint efforts of the government and entrepreneurs.
Under the coordination of the central government, governments at all levels in the Mainland have formed a competitive relationship, competing to attract investment, and expending a lot of energy for the growth of enterprises and industrial development.
A batch of entrepreneurs dared to be the first, and the Chinese economy continued to be reborn, moving from the low-end of the industrial chain to the mid-to-high end.
But in the process, due to the lack of supervision and the transformation of the political and economic system, the problem of corruption is very prominent, and some cases of government-business collusion are shocking.
In view of this, after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central government vigorously combated corruption and proposed to build a new type of government-business relationship that is friendly to Qing Dynasty.
Pro is the meaning of closeness and intimacy, and refers to actively solving problems for the enterprise.
Qing means innocence and purity, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
Chengdu's "Implementation Opinions on Further Regulating Political-Business Interactions and Promoting the Construction of a New Type of Pro-Qing Political-Business Relationship" is a manifestation of the concrete implementation and exploration of a new type of pro-Qing political-business relationship.
Judging from the endless inaction and laziness in government affairs in the mainland in the past few years, and from the "new officials ignoring old affairs" encountered by many private enterprises, it is still a long way to go to build a new type of pro-Qing government-business relationship.
When officials and businessmen deal with each other, they must neither avoid contact with each other, nor deny capital indiscriminately, nor seek power rents.
Judging from the current difficulties faced by the mainland's economic and social development, as long as it is legal and compliant, as long as it is based on legitimate goals, the government should rebuild the confidence of entrepreneurs and encourage more entrepreneurs to become active promoters of China's economic recovery and rise.
Phenomena such as ignoring the legitimate demands of enterprises, buck-passing, and "new officials ignoring old affairs" must be strictly held accountable and try to eliminate them from the source, so that the laziness of some officials cannot interfere with the restoring market confidence.
The direction of the wind has changed. The central government adjusts the economic policy of the platform. The Party Secretary of Hangzhou investigates Ant Group and claims that Alibaba has made an irreplaceable contribution. To be a leader in innovation and development, mainland official media article: Didi re-starts the material market and platform companies can enhance confidence
