Hi,

What is correct?

1.Especially, he advised that the sectors of finance,banking and customs should try their best to reform and support enterprises.

2.Especially, he advised that the sectors of finance,banking and customs should try their best to reform to support enterprises.

'To reform to support' does not seem to be a meaningful phrase. I don't know what it means. I do know what 'to reform and support' means. So, #1 seems correct.

However, the sentence seems a bit odd. While we often speak of the finance sector and the banking sector, it seems unusual to speak of 'the customs sector'. I don't understand what the role of such a sector would be.

Also, the word 'enterprises' seems odd here. Perhaps 'businesses' would be a more common word. It still seems a little strange to say that 'the finance sector' should reform businesses. What does that mean? In what way would the finance sector do such a thing?

Best wishes, Clive
