Therefore, they proposed three countermeasures. Firstly, eliminating people’s concerns and cognitive barriers relating to non-governmental and private economy. Secondly, coordinating different policies, clarifying responsibility and supervising policy implementation so as to promote sustainable and healthy development of private investment. Last but not least, ensuring reasonable investment growth, optimizing investment structure and increasing benefit to achieve sound and fast economic growth.
