BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- China will adopt policy steps to optimize the mechanism for deterring acts of bad faith and refine the social credit system to underpin the development of the socialist market economy, the State Council's executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang decided on Wednesday.
"In recent years, China's social credit system has continued to develop. A market economy relies on credit, and a credit-based economy must follow the rule of law. Work in this regard shall be effectively carried out pursuant to laws and regulations," Li said.
