This includes the need to enhance the primary functioning of the capital market, fully implement a stock issuance registration system, establish a normalized de-listing mechanism and continuously increase the proportion of direct financing via the capital market.

The meeting also emphasized the need to improve the fair competition review mechanism, to strengthen law enforcement in overseeing anti-monopoly and unfair competition cases, and to enhance comprehensive market supervision capabilities.

The meeting also called for a "zero tolerance" approach to all violations of laws and regulations and stressed the importance of preventing financial risks and maintaining financial stability in China.
