A large number of enterprises have been forced to stop work, and some of them have begun to close down [freezing] financing difficulties and recruitment difficulties, local small and medium-sized enterprises are in urgent need of breakthrough the survival difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises are not only the special case of Wenzhou or coastal areas.

"Large orders such as government procurement are generally made by state-owned enterprises or large enterprises, which basically has nothing to do with small and medium-sized enterprises. Breaking market discrimination is crucial for small and medium-sized enterprises to obtain more orders. " [rescue] it is consumers who suffer from the collapse of small and medium-sized enterprises if large enterprises are “giants”, compared with them, small and medium-sized enterprises, especially small enterprises, are just “ants”” Although “ants” are small, they are closely related to the national economy and people’s livelihood< According to the data of the national development and Reform Commission in 2008, there are 42 million small and medium-sized enterprises in China, accounting for 99% of the total number of enterprises, providing nearly 80% of urban jobs.
