About education

  @LANLINGYUE

  Youth are the future of the country, and high-quality education is fundamental. The country must be willing to invest in education if it has the financial resources.

If young people are strong, China will be strong.

Answers to the Two Sessions

  The government work report pointed out that in 2023, the government will strengthen the construction of weak links in education and do a good job in "double reduction". The national student loan has been raised and interest rates have been raised, benefiting more than 11 million students.

About workers’ rights

  @If one day

  Of course, one of the biggest concerns of the working people is the strict implementation of labor laws.

It is hoped that the penalties for violations of labor laws will be increased, and administrative law enforcement departments should supervise them so that labor laws can truly become a "golden bell" to protect workers.

Answers to the Two Sessions

  The government work report pointed out that we must resolutely correct all types of employment discrimination, ensure the payment of wages to migrant workers, improve the labor relations negotiation and coordination mechanism, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers.

  The Supreme People's Court issued Judicial Recommendation No. 5, coordinating with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and others to strengthen the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of over-age workers, guide and ensure "ageing to be productive", and promote the standardized and orderly development of the labor market.

It is clear that "substantial labor" and "obvious time occupation" are used as the criteria for identifying online "invisible overtime", so that online work can be profitable and offline rest can be guaranteed.

During the annual two sessions, the public has high expectations for fair justice.

How to better serve the people with justice?

Large-scale smuggling, drug manufacturing criminals, and repeat offenders will be resolutely sentenced.

Strictly punish domestic and foreign telecommunications network fraud crimes...

  In August 2020, the Supreme People's Court, together with the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security, issued guidance on the application of self-defense in accordance with the law. From 2021 to 2023, 77 defendants were acquitted on the basis of self-defense.
