Qiushi's Oct. 1 issue published a major article by China's CCP general
secretary, state president and CMC chairman Xi Jinping titled 'Strengthening
inclusive, fundamental and safety‑net livelihood construction'. Xi calls for a
people‑centered expansion of inclusive, basic and bottom‑line social services,
improvements to the basic public‑service system, higher service standards and
greater equity and accessibility, with the stated aim of advancing common
prosperity and resolving urgent public grievances. He directs coordinated action
and institutional reform across education, income distribution, employment,
social security, healthcare and housing to make new progress on childcare,
schooling, employment income, medical care, elderly care, housing and support
for vulnerable groups, and emphasizes bottom‑line protections, priority measures
and expectation management.
