It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for China. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January- December 2010). The data not only highlight the extent of obstacles to doing business; they also help identify the source of those obstacles, supporting policy makers in designing regulatory reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO SERVICESACCESSIBILITYACCOUNTACCOUNTSACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEAPPLICATION PROCEDUREAPPLICATION PROCESSATTESTATIONAUDITINGBANK ACCOUNTBANK ACCOUNTSBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKSBORROWERBORROWINGBRIBESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS OWNERSBUSINESS RECORDSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCAPITAL REQUIREMENTCAPITAL REQUIREMENTSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCOLLATERALCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMITMENT LETTERCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCORRUPTIONCREDIT BUREAUCREDIT BUREAUSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT REGISTRIESCREDIT REGISTRYCREDITORSDEBTSDEPOSITDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTSDOMAINE-MAILELECTRICITYELECTRONIC DATAELECTRONIC DATA EXCHANGEEMPLOYEEENTREPRENEURENTREPRENEURSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL LIABILITYFINANCIAL RESOURCESFORMAL BANKGOOD CREDITGOOD PRACTICEIDENTIFICATION NUMBERIMMOVABLE PROPERTYIMPACT ASSESSMENTINCOME CATEGORYINFORMATION ON BUSINESSINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEJOB OPPORTUNITIESLAND ADMINISTRATIONLEGAL REQUIREMENTLEGAL REQUIREMENTSLENDERLENDERSLICENSELICENSESMATERIALMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW COMPANYNEW MARKETSOBSTACLES TO GROWTHONE-STOP SHOPOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPROPERTY LAWPROPERTY OWNERSHIPPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC CREDITPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL ESTATEREAL PROPERTYRECEIPTREGISTRATION APPLICATIONREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPORTINGRESULTRESULTSSALESSAVINGSSELLINGSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL WELFARESTART-UPSTART-UP CAPITALSUBSIDIZATIONSUPERVISIONTELEGRAPHTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETIME FRAMETRANSACTIONUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27174
