Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours
中国经济要闻
China will step up efforts to build its unified national market with measures to expand market access and attract foreign investment, Chinese officials said on Monday at a press conference.
Such measures include cutting down the number of items restricted for foreign investment on the negative list, as part of concerted efforts to further relax limitations on foreign investment, said Zhou Qiang, director general of Market System Development at the Ministry of Commerce.
The country will also focus on building up platforms and streamlining channels that will showcase the potential and opportunities of the Chinese market, provide quality services to foreign companies and foster a world-class environment for foreign investment, Zhou added.
Since China issued the guideline on building a unified national market at a faster pace last year, the relevant works have achieved preliminary results, said Li Chunlin, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner.
According to Li, various localities have moved to conduct self-examination and clean-up of policy measures, and they abolished, revised or corrected policies that might have hindered the unified market and fair competition. Also, a number of supporting policies have been introduced in terms of improving property rights, market access, fair competition, credit and other areas.
China first announced a guideline on building a unified national market in April 2022, in a bid to accelerate the construction of a unified domestic market with greater efficiency, high standards, fair competition and full openness.
Zhu Jianqiao, director of the comprehensive planning department of the State Administration for Market Regulation, highlighted the role of fair competition in supporting the growth of the unified national market, saying that China will strengthen supervision and law enforcement against market intervention behaviors and consolidate the institutional and regulatory foundations for fair competition.
He said the country will accelerate the revision of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, promote the introduction of the regulation on fair competition review and optimize the registration system for enterprises moving from one region to another.

统一大市场是面向全球、充分开放的市场，将为包括外资企业在内的各类市场主体提供更大舞台。
商务部市场体系建设司司长周强表示，推进高水平对外开放，依托我国超大规模市场优势，既要把优质存量外资留下来，还要把更多高质量外资吸引过来。下一步，积极推动全国统一大市场建设，更大力度吸引和利用外资。持续扩大市场准入，合理缩减外资准入负面清单，进一步取消或放宽外资准入限制。加大投资促进工作力度，开展“投资中国年”招商引资活动，统筹各方资源，促进精准招商。持续做好外资企业服务，充分发挥重点外资项目工作专班作用，提升重点外资企业和项目服务时效性、精准性，及时协调解决企业经营和项目建设中出现的“个性化”问题，支持存量外资企业良好发展。营造国际一流外商投资环境，深入实施外商投资法及其实施条例，高标准落实好外资企业国民待遇等。
破除地方保护和行政性垄断是加快建设全国统一大市场的重点任务。国家市场监督管理总局综合规划司司长朱剑桥表示，公平竞争法律法规制度更加完备，完成《反垄断法》修改，将公平竞争审查制度上升为法律规定，及时修订《制止滥用行政权力排除限制竞争行为规定》，《公平竞争审查条例（征求意见稿）》目前正在向社会公开征集意见。下一步，将加快推动《公平竞争审查条例》制定工作，组织开展妨碍全国统一大市场和公平竞争的政策措施专项清理，深入开展民生领域反垄断执法专项行动，持续开展竞争倡导，促进商品要素资源在更大范围内畅通流动。

金融市场消息
The Ministry of Finance has sharpened its focus on addressing local government debt risks, reassuring the market that there is ample scope for the country's finance system to counter challenges. "At present, the main problem regarding local government debt is an uneven distribution (of debt), with certain regions facing higher debt risks and greater pressure repaying principal and interest," an unnamed official at the ministry said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency on Monday. Official data showed that the country's total balance of local government debt stood at 37.05 trillion yuan as of the end of April, within the limit approved by the National People's Congress of 42.17 trillion yuan. Also, China's statutory debt-to-GDP ratio came in at around 50 percent last year, relatively low by global standards and below the international warning line of 60 percent. The ministry has urged relevant local authorities to fulfill their primary responsibility and effectively resolve government debt risks to firmly safeguard the bottom line of preventing any systemic risks, the official said, adding that the central government has stepped up efforts to allocate budgeted transfer payments to local governments, providing them with enough time to distribute and use the funds.

Heterogeneous computing systems refer to computer systems that use more than one type of processor or core to perform different tasks in parallel. These processors or cores have different capabilities and ways of executing instructions. Some of them are specialized for certain purposes, such as graphics or mining, and can assist the general-purpose processor. Heterogeneous computing can improve performance and energy efficiency by assigning workloads to the most suitable resources.
异构系统是指由不同类型的计算机硬件或软件组成的计算系统，这些组成部分可以是异构的，即它们可能来自于不同的制造商，或者使用不同的操作系统、编程语言或协议等。相比于同构系统，异构系统的组成部分具有更高的多样性和复杂性，需要更多的资源和技术支持。但是，异构系统可以在不同类型的硬件和软件之间实现资源共享和任务分配，从而提高系统的效率和性能。异构计算可以提高计算效率，加速数据处理和分析。
