Chinese Premier Li Qiang presided over a State Council executive meeting on Monday.

The meeting heard a report on work concerning expediting the building of a national unified market, studied and made arrangements for work on facilitating the high-quality development of disease prevention and control, and reviewed and adopted several regulations, including a draft regulation on the production safety of coal mines.

The meeting stressed the importance of establishing rules conducive to building a national unified market, such as speeding up the improvement of fundamental institutions on market access, property rights protection and transaction, data information and social credit, and advancing reforms in fiscal, statistical, and other key fields actively and steadily.

The meeting said barriers and obstacles detrimental to building a national unified market should be demolished. In this regard, it urged efforts to conduct in-depth special rectifications of market segmentation, local protection, and other problems.

The meeting pointed out that the disease prevention and control system is a guarantee for protecting people's health, ensuring public health safety, and maintaining economic and social stability.

It reviewed and approved a guideline on facilitating the high-quality development of disease prevention and control, urging efforts to comprehensively improve disease control capabilities, including capabilities for infectious disease monitoring and early warning, emergency response and treatment.

The meeting also reviewed and adopted a draft regulation on the production safety of coal mines, a draft decision of the State Council on amending some administrative regulations and State Council decisions, and a draft decision of the State Council on amending the regulation on ozone-depleting substances.

Noting that heavy rain, snow, and severe cold waves have had a massive impact on production and people's lives in some regions, the meeting stressed efforts to strengthen the monitoring and research of meteorological conditions.

Measures must be taken to identify and remove risks in key areas such as transportation and energy, secure energy and heating supply, and ensure the supply and price stability of goods essential to people's lives, it added.
