China's cabinet cuts more administrative items

Xinhua, January 22, 2016 Adjust font size:

The State Council, China's cabinet, on Friday announced to cancel 61 items regarding the administration of professional licensing and assessment.

The items are related to professional entry thresholds or professional assessment, covering professions such as road and water transport construction, civil aviation, archaeology, logistics, petrochemical sector, film and television, and forestry.

Since 2014, the State Council has cut 44 percent of previous items, delegating power and transforming government functions.

The statement also urged further evaluation of existing qualification items. Endi
