The 2018 Tsinghua Aging Industry Forum is held in Tsinghua University from April 22-23. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] The advancement of the development of the aging industry should coordinate all social resources to set up a smooth channel among governments, enterprises and individuals, instead of relying on the government alone, said Yuan Xin, executive chairman of Tsinghua Health (Aging) Industry Union. Yuan's remark was made at the 2018 Tsinghua Aging Industry Forum, an influential event hosted by Tsinghua University. This year, it was held from April 22-23 and attracted more than 800 guests and 40 experts in the aging industry from all over the world. An anniversary event for the 10th year, this year's forum focused on searching for new opportunities and expanding new horizons in the new era and consisted of forums and seminars on industrial development and a product show with an experiential approach. The forum was co-organized by a couple of schools of Tsinghua University and Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning & Design Institute (THUPDI), a subsidiary of Tsinghua Holdings Habitat Development Group and THUPDI's aging industry experts committee and health science research institute. Experts at the forum believe that healthcare and serious disease prevention will be the next step to improve services for seniors. Tsinghua University's School of Architecture will pull out all its stops to lay a solid foundation for the planning, design and construction of buildings and environments for aging people, said the school's Deputy-Dean Zhang Yue. Zhang also sent out his invitation to more professionals from governments, academia and enterprises to further explore and develop the care industry. Statistics shows that the number of seniors over 60 years old had reached 240 million by the end of 2017, accounting for 17.3 percent of China's total population. Research also suggests that 60 percent to 80 percent of these elders have medical problems. The development of the care industry is more than a service model for the elders; it's also a solution for them to overcome difficulties and improve their life quality, said Liu Weilin, chairman of the China Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics. Interconnection and communication requires a network featuring close cooperation among governments, market and society, and more exploration in the care industry, pointed out Yin Zhi, executive deputy-dean of Tsinghua University's China's new-type urbanization research institute. A highlight of the event was the sharing of her ideas and plans for the improvement of buildings and environments for the aged by Professor Zhou Yanmin of Tsinghua University's School of Architecture. Other experts sharing their views on the development of the aging industry and their plans for solutions included Cheng Xiaoqing, vice-professor of Tsinghua University's School of Architecture, Pei Xiaomei, professor of Tsinghua University's School of Social Sciences, and Jingjun, a doctor of Anthropology of Harvard University and the director of the Tsinghua University Public Health Research Center.

BEIJING - A draft amendment to China's Constitution was submitted to the national legislature for deliberation Monday and is expected to enshrine Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in the fundamental law of the country.The constitutional revision is a major move to advance law-based governance and modernize China's system and capacity for governance, said Wang Chen, vice chairperson of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress (NPC), when briefing around 3,000 deputies to the 13th NPC on the revisions.The draft suggests Xi's thought be juxtaposed with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, and the Theory of Three Represents as a new guiding theory in the preamble of the Constitution.Scientific Outlook on Development is also proposed for incorporation into the country's constitution at this time.The addition establishes their guiding status in the country's political and social life, reflects common aspirations of people of all ethnic groups, embodies the unity in the Party's advocacy and people's will, and makes clear the common ideological foundation for the entire Party and all Chinese people to strive for national rejuvenation, Wang said.If adopted, these will be the Constitution's first amendments in 14 years.The People's Republic of China (PRC) enacted its first Constitution in 1954. The current Constitution was formulated in 1982 and amended in 1988, 1993, 1999 and 2004.When the Constitution was revised in 1999 and 2004, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Theory of Three Represents were given constitutional authority, respectively.The Communist Party of China (CPC) announced the formation of Xi's thought for the first time at its 19th National Congress in October, hailing it as the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and an important component of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Upon conclusion of the congress, Xi's thought was written into the party's Constitution as a new guide to action.Other candidates for inclusion in the bill are a new vision of innovative, coordinated, green and open development for everyone; the five-sphere integrated plan for coordinated economic, political, cultural, social and ecological advancement; the goal of a great modern socialist country; and an oath of allegiance to the Constitution.The following sentence was proposed for inclusion in the Constitution: The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Adding the constitutional provision on upholding and strengthening overall Party leadership, from the perspective of the very nature of China's socialist system, is conducive to boosting the awareness of the Party's leadership among all the Chinese people, effectively integrating the Party's leadership with the entire process and all aspects of the country's work, and ensuring the Party and the country's undertakings always forge ahead in the correct direction, Wang said.The bill proposed enriching clauses about the patriotic united front, harmonious relations among ethnic groups, and peaceful foreign policies.Other revisions under deliberation include adding a vision of a community with a shared future for humanity, core socialist values, and granting more cities legislative power.A revision to a clause concerning the Chinese President's term of office was also proposed.Many regions, departments, Party officials and the public called for the revision when opinions were being solicited and grass-roots research was being conducted, Wang said.A new section about supervisory commissions is proposed to be added to the Constitution's third chapter, which is titled The Structure of the State.The addition aims to carry out and embody the spirit of deepening reform of the country's supervisory system and lays down a constitutional basis for setting up supervisory commissions, Wang said.The CPC Central Committee decided to initiate the constitutional revision at a Political Bureau meeting on Sept 29, and a revision group was set up with Zhang Dejiang as the head and Li Zhanshu and Wang Huning as deputy heads.China is at a critical stage to realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation, said Mo Jiangping, a law professor with Southwest University of Political Science and Law.China's socialist construction in a new era entails the guidance of theoretical achievements which are in keeping with the times, Mo said. The constitutional revision will ensure better legal guarantees.A constitutional change is either proposed by the NPC Standing Committee or by more than one-fifth of all NPC deputies, and then requires the approval of two-thirds or more of NPC deputies during the annual session.The current draft revision to the Constitution was proposed by the CPC Central Committee and adopted by the NPC Standing Committee in January. It was submitted to the first session of 13th NPC for deliberation on Monday.Chinese lawmakers will discuss the draft revision in the coming week and vote on its fate on March 11, according to the agenda. siliconeband canumbered silicone wristbandssilicone wristband manufacturerbig rubber braceletschild size silicone wristbands<%2fcenter>
