The Measures represent a comprehensive upgrade and refinement based on the 2021 version, providing enterprises with more convenient pathways to restore credit impairments. Compared with the 2021 version, the Measures introduce the following key adjustments:

1. Expanded scope of restoration: In addition to administrative penalties publicized in the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, inclusion in the List of Abnormal Business Operations, and the List of Seriously Dishonest Entities, negative information from spot inspection results has also been incorporated into the scope of restoration.

2. Categorized management and refined restoration conditions: Illegal and dishonest information is now categorized and managed as "minor" "moderate" or "serious" with precisely defined restoration conditions and corresponding reductions in the publicity period:

1) Minor violations: Warning-type administrative penalty information will not be publicized; other minor violation information will automatically cease to be publicized after 3 months of publicity, with no application required.

2) Moderate violations: The publicity period ranges from 3 months to 1 year. Application for restoration can be submitted after 3 months of publicity; after 1 year of publicity, the system will automatically cease its display. 

3) Serious violations: The publicity period ranges from 1 to 3 years. Application for restoration can be submitted after 1 year of publicity, and the violation information will be automatically removed or cease to be displayed after 3 years. If administrative penalties or management measures are involved, restoration or cessation of publicity is permitted only after the expiration of the penalty restriction period or the management measure period.

3. Provisions for special circumstances: Regulations have been established for special situations such as enterprise deregistration and bankruptcy reorganization. Specifically, enterprises undergoing bankruptcy reorganization are allowed to apply for temporary credit restoration during the implementation of their reorganization plan or settlement agreement, providing institutional support for distressed enterprises to regain operational capacity.

4. Establishment of a unified national platform: The Measures propose the establishment of a "National Unified Platform for Market Regulation Credit Restoration." Parties involved may handle procedures online via this unified platform or on site at local market regulation bureaus.

5. Inter-departmental coordination and data sharing: The Measures explicitly require market regulation departments to establish and improve a coordinated credit restoration linkage mechanism with relevant departments, achieving data sharing and mutual recognition of results between the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System and platforms such as the "Credit China" website.
