On the Governmental Support for the Development of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

Small and medium-sized businesses, accounting for over 99% of the total number of the businesses, place an irreplaceable role in China's national economic development. However, at present, most of the small and medium-sized businesses have difficulties to access capital, technical equipment and social services, and to face the heated competition after the entry into WTO. These difficulties must be aided in all aspects by the government, such as introducing other countries' successful experiences, establishing and improving policies and regulations that support the development of the small and medium-sized businesses.
