On August 16th, Premier Li Qiang signed the State Council Order No.765, promulgating the Regulations on Handling Social Insurance, which will take effect on December 1st, 2023. Below I will give you a brief introduction on the formulation of the Regulations.

Social security service is the "last mile" of the social insurance system, which plays an important role in serving the people, implementing people’s livelihood policies and promoting the high-quality development of social security. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to social security work and made a series of major arrangements to strengthen social security handling. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the social security system is the safety net of people’s life and the stabilizer of social operation, and stressed the need to improve the social security management system and service network, and strengthen social security work from all aspects of legislation, law enforcement, justice and law-abiding. This provides a fundamental basis for us to improve the social security system and promote the development of social security management. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to improve the multi-level social security system covering the whole people, coordinating urban and rural areas, being fair, unified, safe, standardized and sustainable. This has clearly defined the target requirements for doing a good job in social security management.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Health Insurance Bureau and other departments have resolutely implemented the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhered to the people-centered development ideology, comprehensively deepened reforms, and built the largest social security system in the world. We have continued to implement the universal enrollment plan. The number of participants in basic old-age insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance has reached 1.057 billion, 240 million, 294 million and 246 million respectively, and the enrollment rate of basic medical insurance has stabilized at around 95%. Strengthen the fund support capacity, the accumulated balance of various social security funds exceeds 12.5 trillion yuan, and the market-oriented investment operation has steadily expanded; Continuously optimize the handling service system and achieve full coverage of provinces, cities, counties, towns (streets) and villages (communities). The steady development of social security and the improvement of the efficiency of handling services have effectively enhanced the people’s sense of happiness and security.

At present, China’s social security system reform has entered a stage of system integration, coordination and high efficiency, which puts forward new and higher requirements for social security management. As the first administrative regulation in the field of social security management, the Regulations mark a new step in the legalization, standardization and refinement of social security management, which is of great milestone significance.

The "Regulations" consists of 7 chapters and 63 articles. The main contents are summarized as "five clarifications": First, the scope of application is clarified. These Regulations shall apply to the social insurance stipulated by the state, such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. The second is to clarify the responsibilities of the agency. It is stipulated that the social security agency shall handle the responsibilities of social insurance relationship registration and transfer, information recording and storage, and treatment approval and distribution. This further reflects the social security agency’s responsibility as the concrete executor of social insurance policy, the direct guardian of the people’s rights and interests, and the front-line provider of public services. The third is to clarify the requirements for convenience and benefit. It is required that people can enjoy more efficient and convenient public services by strengthening information sharing, reducing certification materials, shortening the processing time limit and providing humanized and personalized services to special groups. The fourth is to clarify the supervision and management measures. Require social security agencies to negotiate and sign service agreements with eligible institutions to standardize social insurance services. The administrative departments of human resources and social security and medical security are required to supervise and inspect social security agencies and social security service agencies, and establish a social insurance credit management system. Require financial departments and audit institutions to supervise according to law. The fifth is to clarify the legal responsibility. The corresponding legal responsibilities are stipulated for illegal acts such as defrauding social security fund expenditures, concealing, transferring, encroaching, misappropriating social security funds or illegally investing in operations.

The "Regulations" are based on standardizing handling, optimizing services, ensuring safety, safeguarding rights and interests, and promoting fairness, and strive to improve the social security handling service system, improve service levels, and improve service efficiency. The promulgation and implementation of the "Regulations" is conducive to improving the refined management and service level of social security agencies, improving the efficiency of social security governance, better meeting people’s expectations for high-quality life, and playing an important role in the high-quality development of social security agencies. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the National Health Insurance Bureau will take the promulgation and implementation of the Regulations as an opportunity to formulate and improve relevant supporting rules and regulations, further standardize handling services, improve service quality, and promote convenience and benefit.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 16 (Reporter Zhang Mimi) When answering a reporter’s question on the recent military-related issues, Tan Kefei, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, stressed on the 16th that the Taiwan Province issue is the core of China’s core interests, and the China People’s Liberation Army resolutely defends national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will never leave any room for any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.

　　A reporter asked, it is reported that in recent days, US congressmen and officials of the Ministry of National Defense have repeatedly fled to Taiwan to provoke, and the United States has also approved a new round of arms sales to Taiwan, increased military training with Taiwan, and aggravated tensions in the Taiwan Strait. The head of Taiwan’s defense department said that in view of the tension between the two sides of the strait, Taiwan should be alert to the PLA’s "intrusion" into the area near Taiwan. What is the spokesman’s comment on this?

　　Tan Kefei said that Taiwan Province is Taiwan Province of China and Taiwan Province of all China people. At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait continues to be tense, the root of which lies in the Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ collusion with external forces for "independence" provocation and their insistence on standing on the opposite side of the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. Compatriots on both sides of the strait are closely related by blood and are close to each other. We are willing to create a broad space for peaceful reunification, but we will never leave any space for any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. It is only natural and natural for the PLA to take relevant military actions in response to the interference of external forces and the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.

　　He emphasized that the Taiwan Province issue is purely an internal affair of China, the core of China’s core interests and the first insurmountable red line of Sino-US relations. China resolutely opposes any form of official exchanges and military ties between the United States and Taiwan, and resolutely opposes the US upgrading its substantive relations with Taiwan in any form. We urge the United States to give up its plot of "controlling China with Taiwan" and stop "cutting sausages" and making breakthroughs on the Taiwan Province issue.

　　Tan Kefei said, opposing "independence" and promoting reunification, Taiwan Province is a Chinese angelica. The China People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is ready for any act by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to split the motherland and any interference and provocation by external forces, and resolutely defends national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

　　CCTV News:On January 5, the National Development and Reform Commission held a special press conference to introduce the achievements made in promoting the fifth anniversary of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　At the meeting, a reporter asked what measures have been taken and what effects have been achieved in recent years to improve the function of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River?

　　Su Jie, deputy director of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Ministry of Transport, pointed out: First, according to the idea of "deep downstream, smooth midstream and extended upstream", the Yangtze River golden waterway system should be accelerated. Over the past five years, more than 20 waterway construction projects have been carried out successively. A number of major national projects, such as the first phase of the South Channel of the Yangtze River Estuary, the 12.5-meter deep-water waterway below Nanjing, the 6-meter deep-water waterway from Wuhan to Anqing, the section from Changmenxi to Xiongjiazhou in the middle reaches of Jingjiang River, and the Chaotianmen to Jiulongpo in the upper reaches, have been completed and put into operation one after another. The Three Gorges ship lift with the largest scale and the highest technical difficulty in the world has been completed and put into operation. At present, there are 50,000-ton seagoing vessels navigable below Nanjing, 5,000-ton vessels navigable below Wuhan, 3,000-ton vessels navigable below Chongqing and 2,000-ton vessels navigable below Yibin.

　　The second is to strengthen the integration and development with new technologies and continuously improve the ability of waterway service support. The digital waterway of the Yangtze River trunk line runs through the whole line, and the coverage rate of electronic waterway map reaches 100%, realizing the interconnection with Hanjiang River and Ganjiang River, obviously improving the dynamic supervision and emergency support ability of the waterway, and reaching the standard rate of waterway depth and the normal utilization rate of navigation marks all reach 100%. At the same time, it provides users with visual information and personalized services to assist ships to sail safely in situations such as ship intersection, yaw obstruction and special waters.

　　The third is to practice the concept of ecological priority and green development and carry out the practice of green waterway construction. Implement the concept of eco-environmental protection in the whole development cycle of the Yangtze River waterway, adopt eco-environmental engineering structure, implement measures such as eco-environmental monitoring, proliferation and release, and innovatively carry out the restoration and construction of ecological conservation areas, ecological wetlands and other habitats. In the past five years, the greening rate of revetment works of waterway engineering has reached more than 80%, and more than 160 ecological revetments, ecological beach protection, artificial fish nests and artificial fish reefs have been built, and more than 9 million fish and snails have been released in compensation.

　　Su Jie pointed out that the improvement of the waterway conditions of the Yangtze River waterway standard has promoted the large-scale development of ships. In 2020, the average tonnage of ships in the Yangtze River trunk line reached 1,960 tons, an increase of 42% compared with 2015. The rapid development of river-sea direct and river-sea combined transport has effectively guaranteed the economic and social development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. In 2020, the cargo throughput of the Yangtze River trunk line exceeded 3 billion tons, a record high, an increase of 40% compared with 2015.

　　Su Jie said that the next step will be to further systematically improve the navigation capacity of trunk waterways, speed up the construction of golden waterways in the whole basin, and create an aorta with smooth domestic and international double circulation.
