On November 23, the Premier of the State Council presided over an executive meeting of the State Council, during which a report was presented on theほぼ complete fulfillment of this year’s tasks related to reducing capacity in the steel and coal industries. It was decided to send an investigation team from the State Council to thoroughly investigate the illegal and irregular activities of certain enterprises; it was also decided to cancel another batch of professional qualification approvals and certifications in order to facilitate employment and entrepreneurship further. The \"Revised Draft of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People’s Republic of China\" was approved, with the aim of improving supervision both during and after activities take place. The meeting held that further reducing administrative approvals and certifications related to professional qualifications, and allowing the market to play a greater role in assessing professional skills, is an important manifestation of **function transformation; it helps to stimulate market and social vitality as well as promote employment and entrepreneurship. The meeting decided that, on top of the 319 professional qualifications that have been revoked in six batches since 2014, another 114 professional qualification licenses and certifications, such as those for temporary tour guides, restaurant servers, and cleaners, would be revoked. To date, over 70% of the professional qualifications established by State Council departments have been abolished. A catalog of the remaining professional qualifications should be established as soon as possible and made public; no professional qualification licensing or certification requirements shall be imposed outside this catalog. At the same time, it is necessary to establish professional standards and evaluation guidelines, actively encourage enterprises and industry organizations to carry out skill assessments on their own, and create market-based career development pathways for professionals.
