Jiaxing, a city in East China's Zhejiang province, has ranked second in the province in terms of business environment, according to assessment results released by the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

Jiaxing has implemented a series of reforms to offer local residents and companies more convenient services. For example, it now takes just one day to establish a company in Nanhu district, while Pinghu county has simplified its taxpaying procedures.

Xiuzhou district streamlined the approval process for land use planning and launched an intelligent service system for business registration in June, which can respond automatically to consultations and offer around-the-clock guidance for problems related to business registration.

Moreover, the city has issued preferential policies to help companies weather difficulties brought about by the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak.

Jiaxing authorities have also dispatched more than 6,400 government officials to help local companies overcome difficulties related to resuming production, and has sent chartered buses, planes, and trains to retrieve workers living outside the city.

The city will also take more creative measures in the following days to improve government affairs and financial services, introduce high-caliber professionals, and maintain a safe and law-abiding environment.
