The city's top leadership said reform and innovation would be their focus this year.
We will give more responsibility to officials who dare to think and try
The Shenzhen Overall Reform Plan for 2013 to 2015 was released at a city government reform work conference. It follows Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping's endorsement of its experimental zone during a visit in December.
The plan aims to accelerate institutional reform in Qianhai, help promote the service industry and industry upgrades, and enhance co-operation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
Besides Qianhai, the plan also calls for the stepping up of legal reforms related to commercial registration, building a system of checks and balances on officials' powers, reform of income distribution, and reform of public administration at district and sub-district levels.
The city government listed 20 tasks in implementing reform of administrative, political, public finance, cultural and economic, and social management systems.
