Wuhan housing provident fund said on May 29 on its official WeChat account that it has fully upgraded contribution and loan rules for flexible‑employment participants, substantially boosting their mortgage rights. Key changes: the loan‑amount multiplier used in the calculation formula is raised from 10x to 20x; the contribution coefficient is aligned with that for unit (employed) staff; flexible‑employment borrowers may use provident‑fund loans to buy a family’s second home and may apply for commercial‑to‑provident‑fund loan conversion under the same rules as unit employees. The basic loan eligibility test is relaxed from “contributions held under agreement for 12 months” to a requirement that at least 12 months elapse between the loan application date and the first contribution after an effective agreement, lowering the loan threshold.

Wu Kai, chief scientist at CATL and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said CATL will put a series of sodium‑ion battery products into mass production this year, noting sodium‑ion batteries use more abundant, lower‑cost raw materials than lithium‑ion batteries. He said CATL will next focus on lithium‑air battery R&D; lithium‑air uses a lithium anode and ambient oxygen as the cathode reactant, offers ultra‑high theoretical energy density, and will be a focal point in next‑generation global battery competition.
