In 2015, China cut more than 300 billion yuan ($46.15 billion) in taxes to boost mass entrepreneurship and innovation, according to the State Administration of Taxation.

According to Xin Guobin, vice-minister of Industry and Information Technology, more than 10,000 startup firms are being set up everyday in China amid government support for entrepreneurship.

In 2016, the government will put forward more policies targeting small size enterprises and make sure that more people can benefit from policy changes.

However, less well-done aspects, such as pollution control, require government to make further efforts to meet the expectations and demands of residents.

Even though many places have seen significant improvements in air quality by changes in monitoring data, there is a rising chorus questioning the effectiveness of air pollution control.

More than 33 percent of urban residents nationwide are unhappy with government efforts to curb vehicle exhaust emissions in recent years, according to a survey conducted by the Canton Public Research Center in May.

Worries and concerns increased especially during winter seasons, when cities turn on their coal-fired collective heating systems.

Obstacles are there, such as a lack of quick solutions and long-standing problems accumulated during decades of development. Before the government achieves the ambitious goal of reducing major pollutants on a large scale by 2020, reinforced quick response measures for smog and strengthened disclosure monitoring procedures are helpful to improving residents' sense of gain.
