evaluation of overseas enterprises set up by Chinese corporations with their direct investment. Anticipated effect was achieved.
Experience shows that the joint annual inspection mechanism has played an important role in reinforcing and perfecting the macro
supervision and regulation of Chinese overseas investment, which therefore should be carried on. However, there still existed some
deficiencies in the joint annual inspection in 2003. For example, a few provincial and municipal investors did not pay enough attention
to the inspection and failed to fulfill their obligation of being supervised and regulated, which was manifested by the fact that
some overseas enterprises did not take part in the inspection as they were not dually informed by their domestic investors.

As the joint annual inspection and comprehensive performance evaluation in 2004 will soon start, all annual inspectors are kindly
requested to be fully and carefully prepared On the basis of the overall experience of 2003, the annual inspection and comprehensive

The administration for industry and commerce in all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government
and the cities specifically designated in the state plan,

In the recent years, upon the unified arrangement of the State Council, the administrative departments of industry and commerce at
all level have regarded crackdown on pyramid selling and disguised pyramid selling as an important task of rectifying and standardizing
the order of the market economy, and under the leadership of the CCP committees and people’s departments at all levels and in close
cooperation with other relevant departments, obvious effects have been obtained. However, since this year pyramid selling and disguised
pyramid selling have risen to some extent so the situation is still serious in cracking down on pyramid selling and disguised pyramid
selling. A new situation appeared that in-school students in some regions gathered to participate in the pyramid selling activities;
some illegal organizations, under various banners, by expanding members and organizing networks, are engaged in pyramid selling and
disguised pyramid selling; even in some non-focus regions appears the situation that pyramid sellers gathered and carried out illegal
activities. Recently, with regard to the activities of pyramid selling and disguised pyramid selling which appeared in Guangdong
Maoming, Hubei Wuhan, Jiangsu Wuxi and Chongqing, leaders of the State Council attached much importance and explicitly indicated
that once found, pyramid selling and disguised pyramid selling shall be clamped down. For the purpose of implementing the spirits
