The Central Economic Work Conference held from December 10th to 11th proposed the formulation of regulations for the construction of a unified national market and the in-depth rectification of "internal competition" when deploying next year's economic work. Building a unified national market is the fundamental support and inherent requirement for constructing a new development pattern. In April 2022, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a Unified National Market" were officially released. Subsequently, the "Regulations on Fair Competition Review", "Opinions on Improving the Social Credit System", "Negative List for Market Access (2025 Edition)" and other documents were successively released, with the aim of continuously enhancing and consolidating China's advantages in the large market and bringing more impetus to high-quality development. Formulate regulations for the construction of a unified national market, deeply integrate the construction of the rule of law into the overall economic and social development, and provide solid institutional guarantees for accelerating the construction of a unified national market. ”Liu Yuanju, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Finance and Law, said. The socialist market economy is essentially a rule of law economy. Since the new era, China's market infrastructure system has been continuously improved, market facilities have accelerated connectivity, important steps have been taken in the construction of factor markets, the scale effect of commodity and service markets has gradually emerged, and the concept of fair competition has deeply penetrated people's hearts. Liu Yuanju believes that the construction of a unified national market is an important lever formed in China's process of promoting economic system reform. Formulating regulations for the construction of a unified national market, adhering to the improvement of the rule of law in reform, ensuring that the construction of a unified national market is based on law, will promote the maturity and standardization of various systems. In the view of Jin Li, Vice President of Southern University of Science and Technology, "internal competition" has become the main obstacle to the construction of a unified large market in China. 'Internal competition' causes enterprises to invest a large amount of resources and energy into homogeneous competition such as price wars and marketing wars, engaging in low-level repetitive games in a limited market space, making it difficult to promote technological upgrades and production tool upgrades; Trapped in the zero sum game of the existing market, enterprises lack sufficient funds to promote the expansion and upgrading of labor targets. ”Jin Li said. Jin Li believes that by formulating regulations for the construction of a unified national market and using the rule of law to support "involution style" competition governance, it is conducive to continuously optimizing the fair competition market environment and promoting high-quality economic development in China.
