The article points out that in order to deeply rectify the "overlapping" competition, it is necessary to promote competition quality upgrading through institutional innovation. Government behavior must be regulated, market mechanisms must be straightened out, and enterprises can then shift from low-price disorderly competition to value competition. It is necessary to break through market segmentation by building a unified national market, decisively clean up policies that hinder fair competition, promote the orderly exit of backward production capacity in accordance with the law and regulations, prevent "bad money driving out good money", and allow advantaged enterprises to obtain resources matching their competitive strengths. Government behavior needs to be corrected through performance assessment reform, shifting the focus of assessment towards indicators of "quality" such as development quality, technological innovation, and industrial synergy, aligning local government incentives with high-quality development, and controlling homogenization in investment promotion from the source. Competition behavior needs to be rectified through evaluation mechanism reform, reversing the tendency of "price only" argument, establishing a comprehensive evaluation mechanism centered on technology, quality, and service, making high quality and fair price a market consensus, and directing resources towards enterprises with strong innovative capabilities and high added value products.
