On Monday, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council jointly released the first guideline to promote the innovation of entrepreneurs and start-ups, which are a driving force for development.

Studies show that the main motivation and impetus of entrepreneurs in starting their own businesses is to pursue their own ideas and gain financial returns. They are strongly motivated to pursue innovation and reform, and are willing to takes risks to realize their goals.

That doesn't mean they are unwilling to cooperate with others or difficult to work with, or their endeavors to be hindered, rather it means they seek to shake off of unnecessary constraints that may prevent them from achieving their goals.

To support them in their pursuit of innovation, a healthy environment conducive to their endeavors should be created. This requires the law and the authorities to strengthen protection of entrepreneurs' property rights and wealth security. The document clearly sets out the establishment of a legal environment that can protect entrepreneurs' rights, a market environment that promotes fair competition, as well as a social atmosphere that respects and inspires entrepreneurship.

The document also calls for the establishment of a compensation and remedy mechanism for losses suffered because of the adjusting of government policies and plans. Such a mechanism would also be conducive to reducing unnecessary administrative intervention in the market and research endeavors, and would be in line with "allowing the market to play a decisive role in distribution of resources".

The document pays great attention to protecting entrepreneurs' legal rights, such as guaranteeing the right of entrepreneurs to voluntarily join or withdraw from industry and trade associations. Entrepreneurs in turn should shoulder their social responsibilities, but not the unreasonable burdens imposed by some industry organizations.

In terms of the construction of a supportive environment, the document proposes that the government should take more responsibility, which is in accordance with the construction of service-oriented government.

Entrepreneurs are important participants in economic activities, but they should not become a special or even privileged group. They should be the navigators for China's economic development, the main force for the development of China's green economy, and help advance sustainable development and the national development strategy.

To cultivate entrepreneurship, we should be tolerant of mistakes and establish an assistance mechanism. Anyone starting a new business with limited resources faces many uncertainties and risks. Mistakes and failures during the process of development are unavoidable, and so should be tolerated by the authorities.

If the innovations don't violate laws and regulations, don't involve illicit transfers of benefits and don't undermine social interests, the authorities can be tolerant of the failures and mistakes of new innovations and their development process. This will not only encourage and promote innovation and reform, but also transform mistakes and failures into the valuable lessons for the future.

President Xi Jinping once said that deepening reform in an all-round way should boost market vitality, and market vitality stems from people, especially entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. After the launch of reform and opening-up, China has made great achievements in the construction of a modern corporate system and produced innovative products and technology. The newly released document delivers a clear signal to the public that the government wants to carrying forward entrepreneurship, which is of great significance to encouraging innovation throughout every aspect of society.

Saudi Arabia driving ban on women to be lifted

Saudi Arabia's King Salman has issued a decree allowing women to drive for the first time, state media say.

Government ministries are to prepare reports within 30 days and the order will be implemented by June 2018, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world to forbid women from driving.

Under the current system, only men are allowed driving licences and women who drive in public risk being arrested and fined.

Because of the law, many families have had to employ private drivers to help transport female relatives.

Rights groups in the kingdom have campaigned for years to allow women to drive, and some women have been imprisoned for defying the rule.

"The royal decree will implement the provisions of traffic regulations, including the issuance of driving licences for men and women alike," the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.

The country's US ambassador, Prince Khaled bin Salman, said it was "an historic and big day" and "the right decision at the right time"

Saudi Arabia's permanent representative to the UN confirmed the change in policy

He confirmed that women will not have to get permission from their male guardians to take driving lessons, and would be able to drive anywhere they liked.

What was the reaction?

The move was welcomed by the US state department, which called it "a great step in the right direction".

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres echoed that sentiment.

Saudi activist Loujain al-Hathloul, who was detained for 73 days in 2017 for flouting the ban, tweeted "thank God" following the announcement.

Manal al-Sharif, an organiser of the Women2Drive campaign who has also been imprisoned for driving, said on Twitter that Saudi Arabia would "never be the same again".

Activist Sahar Nassif in Jeddah told the BBC she was "very, very excited - jumping up and down and laughing".

"I'm going to buy my dream car, a convertible Mustang, and it's going to be black and yellow," she said.

The hashtags "I am my own guardian" and "Saudi Women Can Drive" quickly gained traction on social media.

Not everyone reacted positively, however, with conservative voices accusing the government of "bending the verses of Sharia".

"As far as I remember, Sharia scholars have said it was haram (forbidden) for women to drive. How come it has suddenly become halal (permissible)?" one critic tweeted.

Others emphasised that despite the latest development, Saudi Arabia remains a long way off gender equality.

Analysis: A massive change for Saudi society

By Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent

This decree is huge for Saudi Arabia. For decades now, Saudi women, many of whom are extremely well-educated and ambitious, have been waiting for their chance to participate fully in their country's economy.

For all this time families have had to stretch their budgets to the limit, as they have had to hire in imported chauffeurs from south and south-east Asia, house them, feed them and insure them.

An estimated 800,000 imported chauffeurs currently ferry Saudi women around. The reason it has taken so long is the long-standing opposition from religious conservatives, who have expressed views varying from "they are too stupid to drive" to "it will lead to intolerable mingling of the sexes".

Yet this decree is in line with a programme called Vision 2030, promoted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, to modernise Saudi society and bring it more into line with the rest of the world.

 

Gas export controls on hold as Government strikes deal with suppliers

By political reporter Henry Belot

Updated less than a minute ago

Australia's largest gas companies have assured the Federal Government they will increase supply to the eastern states next year, potentially avoiding an energy crisis and export restrictions.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull met with the heads of Santos, Shell and Origin this morning, repeating his threat to cap their exports unless they directed more gas to the local market.

The meeting came after the energy market regulator and the competition watchdog warned the risk of gas shortages was three times worse than initially expected.

The vast majority of gas produced in Australia is shipped overseas and the export market has been blamed for the shortage and the increasing gas prices in the eastern states.

"[The companies] have given us a guarantee that they will offer to the domestic market the gas that was identified as the expected demand shortfall by AEMO [Australian Energy Market Operator] in 2018," Mr Turnbull said.

"They've stated that will provide a similar guarantee over two years."

Mr Turnbull foreshadowed the market intervention earlier this year in a bid to secure supply in 2018, but it appears that will no longer be necessary, should the gas companies honour the deal.

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce said the threat of export controls played a role in gas companies agreeing to increase supply.

"I see policemen every day and they have a car, a siren, flashing lights and they have a holster on their hip," Mr Joyce said.

"We don't expect them to use it every day."

On Monday AEMO projected a shortfall of up to 107 petajoules in 2018 and 102 petajoules in 2019, warning risk of energy blackouts requires "close attention and monitoring".

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned the supply-demand outlook has "significantly deteriorated" since its last inquiry, with a "substantial shortfall" now likely in 2018.

Mr Turnbull said introducing export restrictions was not something the Government "relished", but the threat had worked.

"We want to see more exports, but Australians have to come first," he said.

"If there is no other way to prevent a shortfall occurring, we would restrict gas exports.

"But if we are able to achieve commitments that will ensure there is not a shortfall of gas, and that the market functions well and people can buy the amount of gas that they need at prices that reflect global prices, then we don't need to restrict exports."
