A nationwide campaign in China aimed to standardize business-related administrative law enforcement, addressing concerns about inconsistent and heavy-handed practices by local authorities that were undermining legal consistency and disrupting the push for a unified national market.
Authorities said more than 300,000 unqualified law enforcement personnel were removed or reassigned, while over 400,000 unnecessary enforcement items were scrapped in the nationwide campaign, which ended in March.
The push to standardise business-related administrative law enforcement came amid mounting official concern that inconsistent and heavy-handed practices by local authorities were undermining legal consistency, weakening enforcement credibility and disrupting Beijing’s push to build a unified national market.
The campaign targeted issues that had long plagued entrepreneurs and private businesses, including what Beijing described as the “four disorders” in administrative enforcement.
These disorders – arbitrary charges, excessive fines, abusive inspections and unlawful seizures – had increased operating burdens on companies and undermined fair market order, officials said.
