Tongzhou district in Nantong, Jiangsu province recently became the only region in the city to be included among the first group of 10 cities selected for the provincial innovative pilot program in business secret protection.

In recent years, Tongzhou has been placing significant emphasis on the protection of business secrets. Through a series of measures, the district has improved its business secret protection system, aiming to foster a fair competitive environment and establish a solid support system for innovative development.

For instance, Tongzhou has integrated business secret protection into the framework of its joint review system for fair competition. Twenty-two departments actively participate in the fair competition review leading group, promoting a collaborative and participatory model for business secret protection.

The textile industry, a major sector in Tongzhou, is one of the main contributors to local business secret protection efforts. The industry has established a business secret protection base, which has extended its influence to facilitate the establishment of business contact points for enterprises across the textile industrial chain.
