Dazhong Daily:
We noticed that the Ministry of Commerce recently issued, together with relevant departments, the Guiding Opinions on Further Improving the Overseas Comprehensive Service System. How will you promote the implementation of these opinions to provide better services for outbound investment and trade? Thank you.
Wang Ya:
Thank you for the question. I will answer it. In October 2025, with State Council approval, the Ministry of Commerce and four other departments issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Improving the Overseas Comprehensive Service System. The guiding opinions thoroughly implement the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, focusing on building an overseas comprehensive service system that matches the scale and development trajectory of China's outbound investment and trade. This is China's first policy document in the field of overseas comprehensive services. Moving forward, the Ministry of Commerce will work with relevant departments around a framework comprising a national platform, local hubs, overseas stations and professional institutions. We will rapidly develop a multi-dimensional, full-chain overseas comprehensive service ecosystem. This system will feature central-local coordination, regional collaboration, resource concentration and domestic-international connectivity.
First, we will build a national-level platform for comprehensive overseas services. We will coordinate service resources across foreign affairs, law, taxation, finance, trade, logistics, customs and trade promotion. These will address common enterprise needs when expanding overseas, including policy consultation, business processing, country-specific information, market updates, resource matching and risk management. The results will be a "one-window, one-stop" service platform for going global. This platform will be launched on the Ministry of Commerce website soon. We welcome further inquiries from the press.
Second, we will encourage eligible localities to establish comprehensive overseas expansion service hubs and strengthen their online and offline service capabilities. Some regions are already actively exploring these approaches and have achieved positive results. For example, Zhejiang has actively developed an overseas comprehensive service platform to accelerate the implementation of a "single-platform, single-window acceptance and integrated services" model for outbound investment, effectively improving service efficiency. Shanghai has integrated existing platform resources to launch a citywide unified comprehensive service platform for enterprises going global. Shenzhen has developed the Shenzhen International Business e-Station, focusing on three key areas — products, investment and services — to help enterprises go global in an orderly, effective and secure manner.
Third, we will establish comprehensive service stations overseas to expand and enhance our service capabilities. We will promote the establishment of overseas comprehensive service stations in key countries and regions by eligible Chinese business chambers and associations abroad, overseas economic and trade cooperation zones, and Chinese-funded legal service institutions. These stations will help enterprises address local service needs and provide ongoing support for building international marketing networks and expanding overseas markets.
Fourth, we will accelerate the development of a group of internationally-oriented professional service institutions, upgrading from general services to targeted enablement. Focusing on the pain points and challenges reported by enterprises expanding overseas, we will encourage professional service institutions in law, finance, insurance, accounting and logistics to expand overseas alongside enterprises, innovate products and service models, and continuously enhance their international service capabilities. Thank you.
