We will continue the strategy to prioritize employment, especially to integrate with macroeconomic, industrial and financial policies, to create more jobs, Yin Weimin, minister of human resources and social security, said at a news conference hosted by the press center of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Professional training will be enhanced to help labor improve occupational skills and the ability to transfer to new posts, he said. Yin also said that in the next three years, more than 15 million jobs are demanded every year, as the number of college graduates starts to exceed 8 million next year. The government will also encourage business startups by promulgating favorable policies in loans, financing and the use of land, he said. Meanwhile, we will provide high-quality services in employment, especially in internet-based services, to provide help to everyone who wants to find a job, he said. Recent years have seen a slowing in the growth of the Chinese economy, but the country has managed to keep creating new employment opportunities. More than 13 million new jobs were created every year in the past five years in urban areas. Yin said economic development helps create more jobs, which also benefit from administrative reforms to stimulate market vitality and social creativity. The central government has promoted business system reform to lower the threshold for startups and innovation, he said. According to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, about 16,000 enterprises are registered each day in the world's second-largest economy, enlarging employment. Journalists at the news conference also asked about retirees after hearing about the minister's blueprint to increase jobs for the younger generation. The country's pension insurance fund has an accumulated surplus of more than 4 trillion yuan ($605 billion), but differences among provincial regions make it necessary to coordinate programs, Yin said. Next year, the central government will fine-tune pensions among different regions as the first step to coordinate regional disparity, he said. Eight provinces have entrusted the National Council for Security Fund to invest 400 billion yuan from their pension funds, as approved by the State Council, to maintain and increase their value. More State-owned assets will be allocated to the social security fund to enlarge the scale of pensions, the minister added. custom wristbands ukwrist band com coupon codejordan wristbandcustom printed wristbandsmake your own rubber braceletbatman wristband
Officers from the Xingning public security bureau, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, have founded a new media group to make short videos that are posted on Douyin. Many local governments across the country have opened accounts on the social media platform. [Photo/China Daily] Dangling precariously from a helicopter before jumping to the ground, the policeman quickly pulled out his gun and squeezed the trigger without hesitation. Loud cracks echoed all around and the bullets hit the centers of 10 targets standing 10 meters away. As a volley of gunshots split the air, the crack shot didn't flinch, he just kept moving. Though visually stunning and intended to set the heart pounding, this is not a scene from a Hollywood action movie, Instead, it is a 36-second video filmed at a shooting range by the Beijing Special Weapons and Tactics team that shows officers undertaking shooting scenarios to hone their skills. Since May 3, when it was posted on Douyin, a platform for short videos and music, the clip has gained more than 8.67 million likes and about 182,000 comments. Most people expressed respect for the SWAT team's tough training methods and astonishment at its shooting skills. The soaring popularity of Douyin, known as Tik Tok overseas, has encouraged more than 500 government departments and media organizations, including the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and people.cn, to open accounts as a creative way of providing better services and communications. In the first six months of the year, government-related video accounts gained more than 1.6 billion hits on Douyin, according to Beijing Byte-Dance Technology, a news and information content provider.
