Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New era, we should fully implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the second, third and fourth Plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the forum on private enterprises. we will coordinate the work of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, adhere to the general tone of seeking progress in the midst of stability, adhere to the new concept of development, and adhere to the supply-side structural reform as the main line. Persist in treating all kinds of investors equally, follow the economic attributes and development laws of transportation infrastructure, focus on key areas, optimize the market environment, strengthen factor support, encourage reform and innovation, and reduce the burden on enterprises. we will earnestly solve the pain points and difficulties for private enterprises to participate in the construction and development of transportation infrastructure, build a reasonable profit participation mechanism for private enterprises, and give full play to the role of private enterprises. We will improve the quality and efficiency of transport infrastructure development and provide strong support for high-quality economic and social development.

The reasonable setting of qualification conditions shall not set a restrictive threshold for private enterprises to participate in the construction and operation of transportation infrastructure in any form, and shall not restrict private enterprises from participating in project bidding on the grounds that construction enterprises must set up subsidiaries at the construction location. no qualification, performance, awards and other requirements that obviously exceed the characteristics and actual needs of the project shall be put forward in the bidding documents. Based on the principle of equal treatment of all kinds of market subjects, we should comprehensively clean up the restrictive regulations on the qualifications of existing qualifications in the field of transportation infrastructure, and put forward treatment measures by classification. On the premise that the integrity and unity of the railway network will not be affected, we will study the separate bidding of some road sections or some projects and set up a separate project company. (the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Transport, the General Administration of Market Supervision, the Civil Aviation Administration, the Railway Administration and the National Railway Group are responsible for the division of responsibilities, and the relevant departments of the local people's governments at all levels, the regional administrations of civil aviation and the regional administrations of railways are responsible.)

Third, innovate and improve the system and mechanism and create a good policy environment.

We will improve the consultation and scheduling mechanism among transport enterprises and handle related affairs through consultation on an equal footing. We will improve the clearing platform for the industry, formulate open, transparent, fair and reasonable liquidation rules for railway transport income, improve the standard system of liquidation charges, ensure equal access and fair competition for all kinds of subjects, and mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises to participate in construction investment. we will effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors.
