The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management on Wednesday allocated 100 million yuan (14.51 million U.S. dollars) to southwest China's Sichuan Province to support rescue operations after the province was hit by a 6.0-magnitude earthquake.

The government has supplied 5,000 tents, 10,000 folding beds and 20,000 quilts to the quake-hit areas for the victims.

-- New foreign investment negative lists to be unveiled

China will roll out the revised negative lists for foreign investment market access by the end of this month, the country's commerce ministry said Thursday.

The new lists, one for the piloted free trade zones and one for the rest of the country, will expand the fields open to overseas investment, Gao Feng, a spokesperson with the Ministry of Commerce, told a press conference.

Revision work is now underway, and the ministry will further research related issues and expand reforms to create a fairer, more stable, transparent and predictable investment environment, Gao said.

-- Guideline to support sci-tech innovation board

China's top court unveiled a guideline Friday to offer judicial guarantee to ensure the newly launched science and technology innovation board and the pilot registration-based IPO reform run smoothly.

This is the first time that the Supreme People's Court developed a systematic and comprehensive judicial document specific for the capital market's fundamental system reform.

The guideline includes 17 measures regarding fields such as raising legal costs for irregular practices.

-- Industrial internet security enhancement

China will step up efforts to enhance the security of industrial internet as the technology concerns the safety of the real economy, said an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on Friday.

As important new-generation information technology, industrial internet provides a foundation for the digital, internet and intelligent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, said Wang Xinzhe, chief economist with the MIIT, at a conference.

The ministry will roll out related documents and improve the security management system for industrial internet so as to foster a comprehensive, profound and diverse development order for the sector.
