the principle of safeguarding the interests of enterprises and the government: we should pay attention to safeguarding the business secrets of the users when compiling the tender documents. For example, we should recruit eight computer production lines for Lenovo (changing the drawings to protect the technical secrets of Lenovo's computer manufacturing), and it should not harm the national interests and public interests. For example, noise pollution must meet the standards. We should pay great attention to this issue when recruiting broadband network projects for the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television to safeguard national security.
