CCTV News: From the 2025 Private Enterprise Symposium on February 17 to the policy signals sent by relevant state departments in the past two days, how to further promote the development of private enterprises and the private economy is obviously the focus of public opinion attention in the past two days. What new characteristics have private enterprises shown at this stage? What old problems need to be solved to continue to promote the development of the private economy? What mechanisms are needed to form in promoting innovation in private enterprises? "News 1+1" connects with Bai Chongen, Dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, to interpret and analyze it together.

What kind of signals did the 2025 Private Enterprise Symposium send?

Bai Chongen, Dean of the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University:

1. Strengthen the importance of the development of the private economy and form a stronger social consensus. The development of the private economy is an indispensable force in high-quality development.

2. Promote more effective implementation of policies. We have issued many good policies to implement them, and we need to make greater efforts, which will promote the implementation of policies.

3. Give the private economy stronger confidence. The current development of the private economy is facing some difficulties for various reasons. How to make the private economy have a more stable and better development prospect in the future is very important for the development of the entire economy.

Why continue to emphasize the need to promote the development of private enterprises and the private economy?

Bai Chongen, Dean of the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University:

1. The private economy plays a very important role, especially when we are facing the challenges of economic transformation, the private economy plays a particularly important role. In the process of economic transformation, innovation is very important, and the private economy has made many achievements in innovation.

2. In the future economic structure, residents' consumption should play a very important role, and the private economy and private enterprises can play a particularly important role in providing the products and services needed for residents' consumption, because the private economy is very flexible and can have a keen insight into consumers' new trends.

3. The private economy is very important for creating employment. 80% of the new employment is created by private enterprises. These three aspects make it very important for us to develop and further develop the private economy.

4. The development of the private economy is now facing some special challenges. During our transformation, some companies responded very well, while some companies did not respond very well, so they felt a certain sense of frustration.

In addition, changes in the external environment have also made the development of enterprises face new challenges. In addition, we sometimes have some flaws in the process of policy implementation, and such flaws have different interpretations from different people. If private enterprises can more clearly realize that despite so many difficulties, the private economy still has good development prospects in the future, and the Party and the state also have very strong support for the development of the private economy, so that the private economy can develop better.

How to ensure effective implementation of relevant policies to promote the development of the private economy?

Bai Chongen, Dean of the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University:

1. If we can use local governments and governments at all levels to provide strong help to the development of the private economy as an important assessment indicator, this is very important for the implementation of the policy.

2. Some policies have certain uncertainties in the effects of them, so we must have a certain fault-tolerant mechanism for the implementation of policies. If the overall positive and there may be some flaws in this policy, local governments can still be encouraged, so the fault-tolerant mechanism can make the implementation of the policy more powerful.

3. Calculate more economic accounts. The positive impact of the development of the private economy on economic growth is very important. I hope that governments at all levels can calculate their economic accounts more when considering the issues.

4. We must guide the private economy, so that private enterprises can better improve their governance. When they are more open to private enterprises and lower their access standards, everyone can be more at ease to contribute to the private economy.

How to protect the legitimate rights and interests of private enterprises and keep them free of worries?

Bai Chongen, Dean of the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University: On the one hand, it is very important to govern the country according to law. When we supervise enterprises, we must govern the country according to law and cannot implement policies based on our own emotions and feelings. This is an important aspect. Second, if private enterprises are treated unfairly, we should also have a mechanism that allows them to appeal, and such appeal mechanisms must also protect the enterprises. In addition, the complaint results must be held accountable for some officials who are unfair and even malicious in dealing with the company.

What kind of environmental support should be provided to cultivate and support more innovations in private enterprises?

Dean of the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University: Local governments should strive to create a better business environment for innovative enterprises, which includes:

1. In terms of factor acquisition, such as the acquisition of funds, land and other factors, it can be more convenient and cheaper.

2. The regulatory environment should be more predictable and there is no hope for too much uncertainty.

3. It is difficult for some enterprises to develop independently. If more enterprises that have a relationship with each other develop well, it is also very important for them.

4. Talent environment, we hope that if a place has more high-quality talents gathered, innovation will be very good. In order to attract talents, the living environment is also very important.
