Chinese entrepreneurs less satisfied about business situations

Xinhua, November 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

Chinese entrepreneurs are feeling the pressure from economic slowdown and are less content with their current business situations than previous years, a latest survey showed.

Business owners that are "very satisfied" or "relatively satisfied" about current situations accounted for 28.3 percent of the total surveyed owners, down 6.5 percentage points from a year earlier, according to a survey of more than 2,500 companies by the China Entrepreneurs Survey System.

A third of surveyed business owners said they were not satisfied about the business situations at present.

The average score of their level of satisfaction was 2.9, with 5 being the highest, the survey showed. The figure was lower than those for the previous two years.
