Solution to gender imbalance is gender equality
Editor's note: Shanxi-based expert Wu Xiuming has sparked a heated public debate by proposing that the large number of single men in rural areas be encouraged to "pair with" single women in urban areas. The gender imbalance in urban and rural areas has become a social and demographic problem. Two experts share their views with China Daily's Yao Yuxin on how to address this problem. Excerpts follow: Marriage is a matter of choice for many women That China has a serious gender imbalance is evident from the latest official data released in early 2020, which show that in 2019, there were more than 715 million men compared with 684 million women in the country. But to suggest that the gender imbalance problem can be addressed by "pairing" the single men in rural areas with single women in urban areas is unrealistic, because there is little similarity in the two groups' attitude toward life and thought process. Most of the single men in the countryside lack the quality and ... » Learn More about Solution to gender imbalance is gender equality
Curbing financial risks key to sustainability
Although China has largely contained the COVID-19 pandemic at home, it still faces the daunting task of maintaining steady growth in 2021. One way it could do so-and ensure long-term, healthy development of the real economy-is by optimizing financing and eliminating factors that could trigger financial risks. To begin with, China should promote financial reform and opening-up to develop a financial cooperation system that is diversified, and improve the risk prevention and control mechanism without relying too much on the indirect financing system. The development and reform of China's indirect financing system is in line with its long-term social and cultural development, with banks playing the main guiding role in the entire social credit system. Still, China needs to develop a cross-market and cross-sector financial cooperation system to prevent systemic risks in the financial sector that could trigger an inflation crisis forcing the country into the middle-income trap. Due to ... » Learn More about Curbing financial risks key to sustainability
Security law guards HK’s prosperity
The social chaos, including rioting, in Hong Kong that has led to an economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic pose the greatest challenge to Hong Kong since its return to China in 1997. The mayhem caused by the violent protesters prompted the National People's Congress pass the national security law in June last year to stem the growing risk of separatism and restore order in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, so the city's residents could resume normal economic and other activities. Thanks to the implementation of the national security law, Hong Kong is gradually returning to the normal track, by overcoming a host of the difficulties. As part of this measure, the SAR judicial authorities charged 47 politicians and activists with subversion on Sunday. But instead of appreciating the hard work of the Hong Kong law enforcers to restore order in the city, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for the immediate release of the separatists.
