The international community widely supports China’s stance of maintaining stability in the South China Sea.

  ▲ Cambodian People’s Party: The Cambodian People’s Party supports Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s statement on the South China Sea issue. Do not participate in any statement supporting the arbitral tribunal’s ruling on the South China Sea dispute. The South China Sea issue is not between ASEAN and China.

  The Cambodian People’s Party insists on urging the parties concerned to exercise restraint on the South China Sea issue and not to use force or threaten to use force, so that the direct parties can use the mechanism of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea to solve the problem and make joint efforts to push ASEAN and China to reach a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea.

  ▲ Abbas Zaqi, member of the Palestinian Fatah Central Committee and Minister of Arab Relations and China Affairs: Fatah believes that friendly China is on the side of truth, supports China’s sovereignty in the South China Sea, and firmly believes that China is committed to consolidating the foundation of truth and justice in line with the principled position of peaceful settlement of disputes, safeguarding justice, tolerance and cooperation, and achieving mutual benefit and win-win through reviving the world economy, especially the economies of countries in the South China Sea. Fatah called on the countries concerned in the South China Sea to eliminate external interference and resolve possible differences through direct peace negotiations. External interference will only escalate disputes and aggravate the tension between countries in the region. China has demonstrated her belief in peaceful coexistence and resolving disputes through peaceful means rather than war through practical actions.

  ▲ Helal Helal, Deputy Secretary of Regional Leadership of the Syrian ruling Arab Baath Socialist Party: The Syrian people and the Arab public are worried about the situation in the South China Sea. Regrettably, the South China Sea is developing towards militarization and opening its doors to external interference. Encouraged by hegemonic forces accustomed to trampling on international law, the actions of relevant parties are undermining the stability and cooperation in the South China Sea and infringing on China’s territorial and island sovereignty. What happened in the South China Sea is another example of hegemonism, interventionism and violation of other countries’ sovereignty … …

  ▲ Nepal — Gofenda Achaya, Secretary-General of China Media Forum: The-China Media Forum expressed deep concern about the Philippine side’s subjective neglect of the bilateral agreement between China and the Philippines and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and its provocation of the South China Sea issue. The agreement signed between China and the Philippines is a good benchmark for resolving the dispute between China and the Philippines over the South China Sea issue. Unfortunately, the Philippines violated the relevant consensus between China and the Philippines on the South China Sea issue and added fuel to the fire. China has made it clear that it agrees with and advocates the "two-track thinking" put forward by ASEAN countries to deal with problems, so it is very important to understand that China is willing to solve any problems raised through bilateral dialogue. It is equally important to understand that China does not support the militarization of the South China Sea issue. China has demonstrated its key role in dealing with the South China Sea issue. The road map of the South China Sea drawn by China will certainly contribute to the development and prosperity of ASEAN countries.

  ▲ funcinpec party, Cambodia: After carefully studying the position paper of the China government on the Philippine unilateral arbitration case in the South China Sea, our party would like to make the following statement: funcinpec party fully supports the above position of the China government; We appreciate China’s insistence on promoting the settlement of disputes in the South China Sea by peaceful means, especially on the basis of the relevant principles of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea; We call on all parties concerned, especially China and the Philippines, to hold bilateral consultations before resorting to any arbitration.

  As of June 30, nearly 130 foreign political parties and organizations from Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Oceania have actively expressed their support for China’s position on the South China Sea issue, believing that China’s exclusionary declaration on arbitration in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is exercising its legitimate rights and calling on the parties to resolve disputes directly through negotiations and consultations to maintain regional peace and stability.

  Kaz Ahmed, Senior Assistant Secretary of bangladesh awami league Central Working Committee and Congressman:

  Bangladeshi firmly believes that China has always upheld the position of safeguarding freedom of navigation and stability in the South China Sea, and has always adopted peaceful methods to find a solution. We believe that countries in the region are fully capable of solving this problem in a friendly and peaceful way. I hope all parties concerned can show restraint and reason.

  We also believe that this issue should be solved by the relevant countries through bilateral direct consultation and communication, and external forces should not interfere. All countries involved in the South China Sea dispute should resolve it through peaceful means to ensure that the freedom and stability of navigation in the South China Sea are not undermined.

  The South China Sea is a very important trade channel in this region. Except for the countries concerned, the products and trade of many other countries have to be transported to the countries concerned through the South China Sea, so we hope that the countries concerned will continue to solve this problem in a peaceful way.

  We always believe that China’s actions are beneficial to the peaceful development of the region, and we hope that such an attitude can be followed by more countries so that we can create greater benefits for peace and stability in the region.

  Professor Kony Buckley, University of Indonesia:

  Disputes over sovereignty should be resolved through direct negotiations between the claimant countries, and regional security should be jointly safeguarded by ASEAN and China. Only China and the Philippines really know what the problem is, so disputes in the South China Sea should be resolved bilaterally, not multilaterally or internationally. The Philippines is a member of ASEAN, and ASEAN will be pleased if the Philippines and China can talk.

  Ibrahim Ismail, member of the National Executive Committee of the South African ANC and the Central Foreign Affairs Subcommittee:

  The core principle of South Africa’s foreign policy is that the problems of African countries should be solved through African solutions. Before that, they were interfered by foreign forces and international forces. Any interference from foreign forces will always bring disaster. We believe that if there is a problem in the South China Sea, it should be solved directly by the countries concerned through consultation, and should not be interfered by external forces.

  We encourage and call on all parties to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, and all countries should cooperate to reach friendly solutions through cooperation and dialogue for the benefit of all countries in the region.

  Nassar Gaddafi, member of the Central Executive Committee of Uganda National Resistance Movement and Chairman of the Youth League:

  If there is a dispute between the two sides, it needs to be resolved through dialogue and negotiation and diplomatic efforts. China also expressed the hope that one-on-one consultation and negotiation would be held with the Philippines to solve this problem.

  Neighboring countries cannot be chosen, and it is not a good option for the Philippines to seek international arbitration. China hopes to reach a common understanding with the Philippines through direct exchanges, which is something worth considering and doing.

  The maritime territorial dispute between China and the Philippines is not the first case in the world, and there are similar disputes in other regions. Although they may have different ideas and ideas, as long as we sit down together to discuss and consider the solutions, we will definitely realize that we need each other’s support in the end.

  I also urge the Philippines to respond positively to China and listen more to China. We need to sit down together to solve this problem through diplomatic efforts and through this good-neighborly and friendly relationship between the two sides.

  Cveta Novo, Vice Chairman of Bulgarian Citizens Party for European Progress:

  Disputes in the South China Sea should be resolved through peaceful means such as dialogue, consultation and negotiation, and should not be resolved by other means. When there is a dispute, it is best for the parties concerned to solve it through their own efforts or within the regional scope. The outside world should also encourage dialogue, consultation and negotiation to solve disputes, not other ways.

  Former Romanian Prime Minister victor ponta:

  Problems between friends and neighbors should be solved through friendly dialogue. Conflicts between European countries are also resolved through dialogue, rather than resorting to international courts. Extraterritorial countries in the South China Sea should help the parties return to the track of fair dialogue and properly solve the problem.

  President of the International Crisis Group and former UN Under-Secretary-General Geno:

  At present, the South China Sea issue is far from being a crisis. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is not responsible for ruling on sovereignty issues, and sovereignty disputes between China and other countries should be settled through consultation, rather than resorting to the Convention. If negotiation fails, the dispute can be put on hold for the time being. All parties concerned should find effective ways to ease the tension in the South China Sea and avoid escalating into a crisis.

  Upendra gautam, Secretary General of Nepalese China Research Center:

  China’s "dual-track thinking" in dealing with the South China Sea issue is legal and reasonable. This line of thinking points out that relevant disputes should be properly settled by the countries directly concerned through negotiation and consultation, which is the basic framework for China and ASEAN countries to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea. The international community, especially China’s neighbors, should support this "two-track thinking" and contribute to peace in the South China Sea.

  Calbi Hashim, General Secretary of the Sri Lankan United Nationalist Party and Minister of State-owned Enterprise Development:

  Sri Lanka believes that regional affairs should be decided by countries in the region through consultation and should not be interfered and influenced by foreign forces. Disputes over territorial waters should be settled by both parties involved through bilateral channels. Disputes over the South China Sea should be settled by China and the countries concerned through bilateral channels. China is an important force for maintaining peace and development in the region. believes that the governments of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China will play a more active role in the peace and development of the region.

  Joyce Molopa, Member of the Political Bureau of communist party, South Africa:

  We see that China hopes to solve the problem by peaceful means and avoid any conflict. Even though China has become an economic power, it still maintains a humble attitude and resolves disputes by peaceful and negotiated means instead of resorting to war. China’s approach is correct. China has repeatedly said that the door to dialogue has been open to the Philippines, hoping that the new Philippine president will accept the proposal put forward by China and sit down and solve the problem through friendly negotiations.

  Anthony Joseph, Secretary of Civil and Enterprise Organizations of Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in South Sudan:

  We appreciate China’s adherence to peaceful negotiation to solve the problem, which can avoid the region falling into an unstable situation. The new leader of the Philippines should realize that international arbitration may take years and disrupt regional stability. The Philippine side should focus on peace and properly handle the issue from the interests of the two countries and Asia.

  Nabil Zazi, member of the Political Bureau and official spokesman of the Egyptian National Progressive Unity Group:

  Recently, with the support of foreign forces, the Philippines has launched a series of harassment actions against China. Extraterritorial powers hope to provoke a new cold war in the region and exert greater political and economic pressure on China. Historical facts show that China has exercised sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands since ancient times, including conducting military patrols and establishing rescue centers. China’s sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands has been recognized by the international community. Maps issued by many countries also recognize China’s sovereignty over these islands.

  The purpose of this extraterritorial power to get its hands on the Middle East is to occupy the rich oil and gas resources in this region, as well as the South China Sea issue. Our Party resolutely opposes this conspiracy in many parts of the world, supports friendly China, opposes resorting to compulsory international arbitration on the South China Sea issue, and opposes attempts by relevant parties to infiltrate China’s historical territory and territorial waters.

  Mora, Vice Chairman of the European Left Party:

  China’s position and policy on the South China Sea issue are correct. China has always insisted on relying on relevant parties to resolve disputes, and external forces should not interfere. Internationalizing the South China Sea issue is a "serious mistake". Many problems may not have good results or even be solved after internationalization or recourse to international arbitration. The South China Sea issue should be resolved by all parties concerned, instead of resorting to international arbitration.

  President communist party of bohemia and moravia and Deputy Speaker of the Czech House of Representatives Vojtech Philippe:

  Only when bilateral negotiations fail to solve the problem can the two sides jointly file an arbitration request with the International Court of Justice, and cannot unilaterally file an international lawsuit. Moreover, China made a exclusionary declaration in accordance with Article 298 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as early as 2006, so there is no possibility of solving the South China Sea issue by international litigation.

  Shaker, the representative of Slovenia’s modern middle party:

  Sri Lanka fully understands and supports China’s position on the South China Sea arbitration case, and hopes that relevant parties can resolve their differences through consultation, dialogue and peaceful negotiation. Neighboring countries should strengthen good-neighborly relations and resolve their disputes through peaceful dialogue, which is also an effective way to solve international and regional disputes.

  Stephen Perry, Chairman of 48 British Group Clubs:

  Arbitration requires both parties to accept the principle of arbitration. As the two parties have not reached an agreement on arbitration, this arbitration is flawed. The United States demands, or insists, that China accept the award of the arbitration institution, but the United States itself does not recognize this arbitration institution because of its legal basis — — The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has not been ratified in the United States. Therefore, the argument that this arbitration involves the concept of the rule of law cannot stand scrutiny.

  Marvao Sudaha, President of the International Association of Arab Writers and Journalists Friends of China:

  Fundamentally speaking, the so-called "maritime dispute" does not exist. No matter from the historical, legal or sovereign level, China has had sovereignty in this sea area since ancient times. Therefore, China cannot accept the internationalization of discussions on its territory and islands with absolute sovereignty, nor can it accept the internationalization of issues involving its security interests.

  Our Party firmly supports all China’s positions and statements on the South China Sea issue, supports all parties concerned to resolve disputes peacefully through negotiation and consultation, and opposes other countries using the South China Sea issue to interfere in China’s sovereignty.

  — — Nepal agricultural workers’ party

  Our Party believes that peace and stability in the South China Sea should be jointly maintained by China and ASEAN countries, which is in line with international law and practice. Our party resolutely opposes the militarization of the South China Sea or the intervention of external forces, and adheres to the principle of settling disputes in various regions of the world through peaceful negotiations by the parties concerned, so as to prevent external forces from interfering in the interests of arms dealers and open the door for the development and growth of mercenary gangs and terrorist organizations.

  — — Egyptian communist party

  Recently, all kinds of claims that China has accepted international arbitration on the South China Sea issue are violations of China’s sovereignty, which are inconsistent with the facts, causing damage to the actions of all countries in the world to safeguard sovereignty and undermining international law. Its essence is to force China to recognize and accept international arbitration by imposing things that are not conducive to China’s sovereignty and interests. This is unrealistic, imprecise and unwise.

  We find that the South China Sea issue has attracted the attention of the international community because there is a hand behind it. Beating around the bush on legal issues is to serve the interests of some foreign countries so that they can expand their territory and oceans. China, of course, does not accept or acknowledge the game.

  — — Ghanaian writer Tariq Isag

  All historical and realistic evidences show that China has sovereignty over Nansha Islands and its adjacent waters. It is ridiculous to resort to international arbitration for the South China Sea issue, which is the embodiment of neo-colonialism of some extraterritorial forces. Their attempt will not succeed. We support China’s position on the South China Sea issue and China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

  — — Jordanian writer Tasneem Farah

  The international community has long recognized China’s sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands. Since the second half of the 19th century, documents from Britain, France and other countries have recorded China’s activities on the South Island Reef such as Nansha Islands. Any country that refuses to recognize the South China Sea Islands as China is refusing to recognize the norms of history and international law.

  The illegal occupation of the South Island Reef in China by the Philippines and other countries is the essence of the South China Sea issue. The Philippines’ unilateral submission of the South China Sea issue to international arbitration not only violates international law, but also violates the relevant consensus reached with China. The arbitral tribunal is deeply influenced by some foreign powers and is likely to make an unfair judgment. China’s exclusionary declaration on arbitration in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is an exercise of legitimate rights.

  — — Mauritanian writer Abdulatif Said Mohamed Abdouwudud

  The South China Sea issue is not a new one, let alone one provoked by China. In the 1970s, the Philippines had violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, including the Charter of the United Nations, illegally occupied some islands and reefs in the South China Sea of China, and built facilities and deployed weapons. What the Philippines has done has seriously threatened regional peace and stability, and threatened China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

  China is a peace-loving country, and has always advocated the settlement of disputes between countries through peaceful means. However, the Philippines, instigated by external forces, refused to settle the dispute through peaceful negotiation in an attempt to solve the problem by submitting it to international arbitration. Some extraterritorial countries are manipulating the Philippines’ actions behind the scenes.

  History has proved that despite its strong national strength, China has never invaded any neighboring country, and China is a peace-loving country. China has sufficient strength in military, economy and personnel, but at the same time, it also has calm wisdom to properly handle problems and is cautious in making important decisions. China will never allow anyone to violate its national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and all countries in the world should firmly stand by China.

  — — Iraqi writer Baha Manya

  On the South China Sea issue, China has released many positive signals, which deserve careful study by the Philippines. These signals include settling disputes by peaceful negotiation, shelving disputes, joint development and "two-track thinking". Among them, shelving disputes and joint development are the direction and general trend of resolving maritime and island disputes in the future, and China and the Philippines should work towards this goal.

Finance promotes the optimal supply of aged care services.

  The first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Committee emphasized that it is necessary to implement the national strategy of actively responding to the aging population, promote the construction of the basic old-age service system, vigorously develop the silver-haired economy, accelerate the development of a multi-level and multi-pillar old-age insurance system, and strive to achieve a sense of security, a sense of worthiness and a sense of happiness for the elderly.

  In recent years, China has vigorously developed the cause and industry of providing for the aged, providing a more solid guarantee for the realization of a sense of security for the elderly. Among them, insurance, banking and other financial industries continue to increase their support for the elderly, and while innovating financial products for the elderly, they strive to enrich the supply of old-age services and provide more choices for the elderly to enjoy their old age.

  The insurance industry will expand the old-age service model to help better realize the sense of security, worthiness and happiness for the elderly.

  In the morning, after eating nutritious breakfast, go for a walk in the small garden downstairs; In the afternoon, study chess and crafts with old friends in the old-age community; In the evening, watch movies and listen to the radio in the room … … In a retirement community in Maizidian Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 82-year-old Zhang Guangguo was quite satisfied with his life after living in the retirement community.

  This is an old-age community operated by insurance institutions. "The details are very intimate. There are handrails next to the toilet, and you can take a bath in the bath. There are anti-slip mats on the ground. Professional health service stations are convenient for us to check up and get maintenance advice. This makes me feel practical. " Zhang Guangguo said.

  In recent years, the community for the aged has gradually been welcomed by the elderly, and the community provides corresponding medical care and care services according to the physical condition and age stage of the elderly.

  The pace of community construction for the aged is accelerating, and the insurance industry is involved. For example, China Pacific Insurance will undertake social institutional pension projects in the form of entrusted management for the first time on the basis of self-investment and self-construction and self-management of multiple pension communities; Taikang Insurance provided community services for the aged earlier in China, and new projects were put into operation this year. Some insurance institutions set up private equity investment funds for healthy old-age care to provide financial support for the old-age care community and high-quality enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the old-age care industry chain.

  What are the reasons why the insurance industry continues to exert its strength in the pension industry? According to industry insiders, the pension community has a large investment scale and needs long-term stable financial support, which has a high matching with the characteristics of insurance funds. At the same time, the pension industry also has a high correlation with the main insurance industry.

  "Providing old-age care services has a pulling effect on the main business of insurance." The person in charge of an insurance institution said that in recent years, the insurance demand of the people has changed, and the insurance products with additional pension services are more attractive, which is conducive to promoting the scale of business; At the same time, from satisfying customers’ single needs to providing one-stop comprehensive services, constantly optimizing service content and improving service quality will help improve customer satisfaction and trust and enhance customer stickiness.

  In addition to professional institutions for the aged, the insurance industry is also exploring ways to increase the supply of community-based aged care services. Under the guidance of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau, Taikang Yicai Public Welfare Foundation and Beihang Community Neighborhood Committee of Huayuan Road Street in Haidian District jointly established Beihang Community Smart Pension Service Consortium, and introduced intelligent networked alarms, vital signs detectors and other equipment to monitor the physical condition of the elderly in real time; Build an information management platform and link more than 20 service providers to provide diversified services such as life care, domestic maintenance, medical rehabilitation, emergency assistance, travel and residence for the elderly at home.

  Ying Weiwei, chairman of Taikang Yicai Public Welfare Foundation, said that the Beihang Community Smart Pension Service Consortium has been in trial operation since March 2022, and has accumulated more than 1,000 person-times of supply and demand. "The smart pension model will be extended to more communities and professional quality services will be brought to more elderly people."

  "Continuing to expand the service model for the aged will help the people to choose the appropriate old-age care method according to their own needs, and better realize the old age, the old age and the old age." Wang Xiangnan, deputy director of the Insurance and Economic Development Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, said.

  "Actively guide the development of high-quality and diversified non-basic old-age care services, make them a useful supplement to the basic old-age care service system, and jointly build a multi-level sustainable old-age care service system with China characteristics." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.

  Optimize the financial supply and strongly support the better development of the old-age care cause and the old-age care industry.

  While expanding the supply of old-age care services, financial institutions provide strong support for the better development of old-age care and old-age care industry by increasing capital investment and helping personnel training.

  — — Under the guidance of policies, more "real money and silver" are invested in the field of old-age care.

  "At the beginning of this year, the Bank of Communications Henan Branch issued a loan of 24 million yuan, and the interest rate was very favorable. This fund is in place in time to help us better carry out comprehensive old-age service construction projects. " The person in charge of the comprehensive old-age service construction project in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, introduced that the project has a construction area of 26,000 square meters, and it is estimated that more than 800 old-age beds will be added after completion.

  In November last year, after learning about the financing needs of the project, Henan Branch of Bank of Communications made a field investigation and visited, and granted the project a credit line of 100 million yuan in December last year with a term of 15 years and an interest rate of 4.4%. At the same time, Henan Branch of Bank of Communications actively applied to the People’s Bank of China for the amount of special refinancing support for inclusive pension. At present, the first batch of 24 million yuan loans have been supported by refinancing funds.

  "Since the beginning of this year, we have applied for 4 special refinancing loans for Pratt & Whitney Pension, with an amount of 84 million yuan. With the support of policies, we will continue to promote the supply of inclusive old-age care services and contribute more financial strength to the all-round construction of inclusive old-age care service system. " Song Baodong, general manager of the corporate business department of Bank of Communications Henan Branch, said.

  In April last year, the People’s Bank of China and the National Development and Reform Commission decided to carry out the pilot project of special refinancing for inclusive old-age care, guide financial institutions to provide preferential loans to inclusive old-age care institutions, and reduce the financing costs of old-age care institutions.

  — — Help personnel training and lay a solid foundation for the expansion of old-age services.

  It is particularly important for the development of the old-age care industry to train more professional old-age service talents. Through the integration of production and education, the financial industry actively assists the training of aged care service talents.

  Taikang Insurance provides support for ordinary universities and vocational colleges to strengthen the professional construction of pension services, research and develop innovative courses, and carry out practical teaching. Vigorously promote the order training mode and actively support the connection between secondary and higher vocational education in related majors of aged care services; Encourage employees to participate in vocational skill appraisal, improve the mechanism of linking vocational skill level with the salary and treatment of aged care service personnel, and take many measures to help expand the supply of aged care service professionals.

  Many provinces and cities explore the mode of "family care" and rely on long-term care insurance agencies to provide nursing skills training for relatives and nannies of disabled and demented elderly people according to relevant regulations. Under the professional guidance, "family care" personnel can better provide daily care services for the disabled elderly, such as cleaning and changing clothes, assisting in eating, sleeping care, health monitoring, and assisting in medication, and improve the quality of life of the elderly.

  — — Strengthen the application of science and technology to improve the quality and efficiency of old-age care services.

  Old-age care services involve a wide range, and the cost of manpower and material resources is high. Financial institutions rely on the advantages of resources and technology to strengthen the application of scientific and technological innovation and help improve the quality and efficiency of old-age services.

  In the long-term care insurance pilot, local medical insurance funds play an important role. How to strengthen the supervision ability, make the nursing service delivered accurately, control the risk of funds, and prevent the medical insurance funds from leaking, is an important topic.

  In Shandong Province, China Life has developed and applied the long-term care handling service system and mobile patrol APP, from the front-end application, viewing and uploading documents to the back-end evaluation, deliberation, filing, setting evaluation content, and later tracking and verification, realizing the whole process of mobile terminal management, effectively saving labor costs, and helping to support the vast rural areas to increase the supply of long-term care insurance and strengthen supervision.

  Service "cloud" is more convenient for providing for the aged. Insurance institutions will speed up the informatization construction of old-age care services, develop and apply intelligent terminals, old-age care service platforms, information systems, APPs, etc. through technologies such as Internet of Things, mobile Internet, cloud computing and big data, and expand functions such as remote reminder, dynamic monitoring, automatic alarm and disposal, so as to carry out old-age care services more efficiently.

  Do a good job in risk management, achieve healthy development, and further improve the financial support policy for the aged care service industry.

  Experts said that in the future, it is necessary to better guide different types of financial institutions to give full play to their respective advantages to participate in the old-age care undertakings and industries, and provide stronger support for improving the supply level of old-age care services on the premise of doing a good job in risk management and achieving healthy development.

  Lou Feipeng, a researcher at China Postal Savings Bank, said that the financial support policy for the aged care service industry can be further improved, financial institutions can be guided to increase their investment in the field of aged care, financing support and risk protection for aged care institutions should be strengthened according to laws and regulations, and assistance should be actively provided for the development of aged care services such as family aging adaptation and home community aged care service network, so as to promote the high-quality development of the aged care service industry.

  The industry believes that insurance institutions should improve their investment management capabilities and risk management and control levels, and participate in the development of the aged care service industry in various ways; Property & casualty insurance companies can develop liability insurance for old-age care institutions to meet the latest insurance needs of the old-age care industry.

  Han Qiang, general manager of China Industrial and Commercial Bank of China’s Pension Business Department, believes that we should intensify service innovation, and design and develop financial products that are suitable for the characteristics of its financing needs in combination with the capital flow path and risk characteristics of China’s pension industry. In addition, we should do a good job in service stratification and provide accurate financial services according to the needs of customers in the fields of medicine, entertainment, travel, nursing and learning.

  According to industry insiders, in order to better incite social forces to participate in investment in the field of old-age care, corresponding tax incentives and subsidy policies can be given. At the same time, the lower operating costs of the old-age service institutions are also conducive to providing consumers with more inclusive old-age services.

  Better prevention of risks can continuously optimize the supply of aged care services. Experts said that the "insurance+community for the aged" model requires higher qualifications of operators, so it is possible to set a certain entry threshold for carrying out related businesses, and strengthen supervision and review of access institutions to prevent improper operation and disorderly competition. In addition, when an insurance company sells insurance products that are connected with community services for the aged, it should fully consider various factors that affect the service supply capacity of community services for the aged and the demand of customers for occupancy, establish a calculation model, form a constraint mechanism that matches the scale of insurance products sold with the service supply capacity of community services for the aged, and determine a reasonable scale interval through classification calculation and stress testing.

  Experts remind consumers that when choosing and purchasing old-age care services, they should pay attention to the formal institutions and channels, and check the investment projects in many ways and treat them with caution. In particular, for some "old-age projects" that are known as "projects under construction, payment first and accommodation guaranteed", we should be vigilant and avoid being deceived. Financial supervision departments should also strengthen monitoring and early warning tips to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly.

  People’s Daily (18th edition, July 10th, 2023)

Elevator safety accidents often occur, and many places legislate to promote smart elevator systems.

  In September this year, Chongqing will put into use the "smart elevator" system and equip the elevator with a "brain". This system can realize uninterrupted automatic monitoring of elevator status, accident early warning and data tracing, making elevators safer and wiser.

  It is worth noting that some places have written smart elevator systems into local laws and regulations. For example, "Huai ‘an Residential Elevator Safety Regulations" requires that newly installed residential elevators should have functions such as operation parameter collection, information network transmission, automatic alarm, real-time call and video monitoring system.

  In recent years, in order to reduce the occurrence of elevator safety accidents, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Liaoning, Guizhou and other places have standardized the elevator safety management from the aspects of elevator production and operation, use management, maintenance, inspection and safety evaluation, supervision and service, emergency rescue, legal responsibility and so on.

  A number of people in the industry recently suggested in an interview with the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily that on the basis of summing up local legislative experience, the relevant provisions in the Law on Safety of Special Equipment should be improved, and the product quality and related subject responsibilities of elevators should be clearly defined, so as to provide a strong legal guarantee for dealing with the sharp increase in the total number of elevators, the frequent occurrence of elevator accidents, the increase in the complaint rate of elevator failures and other issues, so that elevators, as a daily facility, will no longer be a dangerous place.

  Elevator accidents show a trend of multiple occurrences.

  Trapped, rushing to the top, falling … … Recently, elevator failures and accidents have occurred in many places, making the topic of elevator safety once again enter the public eye.

  On the evening of May 3, a 13-year-old boy from Lanwan Yajing Community in Fuzhou, Fujian Province had an accident due to elevator failure. On the evening of May 23, an elevator safety accident occurred in Ankang Golden Bay Phase II Community, Chikan District, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. The elevator accelerated from the first floor and crashed into the 30th floor, resulting in one unfortunate death.

  Many elevator safety accidents have made Liu Fengyuan afraid to take the elevator that has broken down many times in the community. Liu Fengyuan, who lives in the Ideal City Community of Handan City, Hebei Province, has been trapped in the elevator three times. Once the elevator fell from the third floor to the negative floor, and the distress button in the elevator didn’t work at all. Without his mobile phone, he had to beat the elevator door hard, which attracted other residents to call for help.

  "The elevator in our building is often broken, and people are often trapped. Every time it is repaired and then broken, my 5-year-old child is trapped inside. Especially from the news, we saw the elevator safety accident that happened some time ago. We are afraid to take that elevator now. " Liu Fengyuan said.

  At present, China’s elevator ownership and annual sales volume rank first in the world, and elevator accidents are frequent. According to the Notice of the State Administration of Market Supervision on the National Special Equipment Safety in 2020, by the end of 2020, there were 7,865,500 elevators nationwide. In 2020, there were 25 elevator accidents and 19 deaths in China.

  Huang Lianxi, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and partner of Zhejiang Tiance Law Firm, bluntly said that after years of development, China has become a big country in elevator production and sales. However, from the perspective of users’ objective experience, there are some problems in the elevator industry, such as the quality needs to be improved, the maintenance ratio of elevator manufacturers is not high, and the product quality responsibility is not implemented.

  Legislation in many places to ensure the safety of taking the ladder

  In the face of many problems brought by the rapid growth of elevators year by year, many places in the country have introduced special legislation to regulate them. According to the reporter’s incomplete statistics, there are currently 46 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and cities with districts that legislate for elevator safety.

  Although these local laws and regulations differ in the number of chapters, they basically cover production and operation, use, maintenance, inspection and testing, supervision and management, emergency response, legal responsibility and so on.

  Especially in strengthening the implementation of the main responsibility, all localities have made relatively clear provisions.

  "Regulations on Elevator Safety Management in Liaoning Province" requires that the market supervision and management departments and other departments with elevator safety management responsibilities should formulate elevator safety supervision and inspection plans and related measures, conduct regular inspections or spot checks on elevator safety according to their division of responsibilities, and timely put forward rectification and handling opinions and carry out rectification supervision on the illegal and illegal problems and hidden dangers; Major violations of laws and regulations and serious accidents, should immediately take compulsory measures according to law and report to the government at the same level and the higher supervision and management departments.

  "Heilongjiang Province Elevator Safety Regulations" stipulates that the elevator maintenance unit, in violation of the provisions of these regulations, fails to set up a 24-hour on-duty telephone, fails to eliminate it in time after receiving the fault notice, or fails to arrive at the scene to carry out rescue according to the prescribed time limit after receiving the elevator trouble report, and is fined 20,000 yuan.

  In April this year, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province revised the Regulations on Elevator Safety in Nanjing City, which has been implemented for nearly 10 years, aiming at clarifying the responsibilities of manufacturing enterprises, industry committees, users and maintenance units, and solving the problem that elevator safety involves long chains and many subjects.

  "Elevator safety is directly related to the personal safety of the people. The elevator should be regarded as a mass public vehicle and should be positioned as a mass public product. Through legislation, the competent authorities of the industry will be clarified, and production enterprises will be guided, guided, managed and standardized to build a quality assurance system for elevator products, so as to ensure the quality of elevator products from the source. " Huang Lianxi said.

  Li Zhiqiang, deputy to the National People’s Congress and deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, believes that the supervision mode should be changed from departmental supervision to pluralistic co-governance. Elevator safety is a part of social management, involving multiple responsible subjects and multi-departmental functions. It is necessary to clarify the responsibilities and obligations of all links, relevant units and personnel in the whole life cycle of elevators from selection and procurement to scrapping and updating, and to establish a new supervision mechanism in which local governments take the main responsibility for supervision, quality inspection, safety supervision, housing construction, finance, insurance supervision and other departments work together and coordinate.

  Promote the construction of smart elevator system

  The Law on Safety of Special Equipment, which came into effect on January 1, 2014, puts forward the general requirements for safety supervision of several types of special equipment, including elevators, and provides a strong legal guarantee for elevator safety.

  Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, believes that elevators, as a kind of special equipment that is most closely related to people’s lives, are quite different in terms of safety requirements, supervision methods and emergency handling, and need special regulations to regulate and ensure their safe use.

  "In recent years, the total number of elevators in China has increased dramatically, and elevator safety accidents have occurred frequently. Elevator safety issues have become more and more important. At present, many places have responded to people’s needs through legislation. It is suggested to summarize the legislative experience of these places, and at the same time find out the causes and countermeasures of elevator safety accidents, and then improve the special equipment safety law to realize the source of elevator safety hazards. Governance. " Liu Junhai said.

  Liu Junhai believes that the Special Equipment Safety Law has been implemented for more than seven years. With the rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, it is suggested that advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things should be introduced into elevator safety management, and a more intelligent elevator early warning and alarm mechanism should be clearly established through legislation.

  The reporter noted that some local legislation explicitly proposed the establishment of a smart elevator system. The Regulations on Elevator Safety Management in Hangzhou proposes to popularize the use of intelligent elevator system, find hidden dangers of elevator safety accidents in time, and comprehensively evaluate elevator operation status according to recorded data to improve elevator safety management level. "Regulations on Elevator Safety Management in Bengbu City" requires that the construction of smart elevator system should be promoted, and a smart elevator system with the functions of operation parameter collection, network remote transmission, one-button alarm, intelligent rescue and dynamic supervision should be gradually established.

  Huang Lianxi said that through legislation, the application of information technology such as big data and Internet of Things will be strengthened, so that elevator equipment can form intelligent terminals and solve elevator safety problems. (Reporter Pu Xiaolei, Du Xiaotong)
