Clearing net of falsehoods key to business-friendly environment

In a recent news conference, the national cyberspace regulator said that a series of special operations will be launched to rectify and crack down on all kinds of false information targeting enterprises and entrepreneurs, private ones in particular, to protect their lawful rights and cleanse the online environment.

Many enterprises are often troubled by false information maliciously spread on the internet, such as rumors on their bosses having "run away" from the motherland or rumors on the private life of their female bosses, which not only infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of their bosses, but also damages their brand image and even directly affects their normal operation. Therefore, the top cyberspace regulator said greater efforts will be made to crack down on various types of false and untrue information related to enterprises and entrepreneurs.

Both State-owned and private enterprises should accept public supervision and criticism if they violate laws and regulations. The cooking up of false information on the internet about enterprises and entrepreneurs sabotages normal information dissemination order and the online environment.

A good business environment requires not only good hardware such as transportation facilities and resource allocation, but also good software such as policies and measures and the rule of law. At the same time, a clean and healthy cyberspace and public opinion atmosphere conducive to business operation and entrepreneurship is also needed.

Therefore, improving the online environment for business helps boost people's confidence and hope.

Enterprises are the main promoters of social innovation, and entrepreneurs the engine of social wealth creation. Only by fostering a sound business environment, including internet environment, and enabling enterprises and entrepreneurs, especially private ones, to feel at ease in their business operations and development, can we stimulate the vitality of innovation and creativity and keep the "giant ship" of the Chinese economy steering farther.
