| Zhang Gaoli: From "poor boy" to political figure Posted: 25 Dec 2012 07:59 AM PST BEIJING -- When Zhang Gaoli was born into an impoverished peasant's family 66 years ago, no one might have imagined that he would become one of China's most powerful people. The self-dubbed "poor boy," however, made it when he was elected last month to the top slate of leadership of China's ruling party. Zhang became member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee on Nov 15, along with Xi Jinping, elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Li Keqiang, Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Liu Yunshan and Wang Qishan. The story of Zhang, who has ascended step by step to top ranks, is a typical example of personal struggle in the Chinese political sphere. Zhang's ancestors were all poor peasants in coastal Panjing Village, located in Jinjiang in southeast China's Fujian Province. His father died when Zhang was three years old. His mother managed to sustain his schooling despite family poverty. The diligent Zhang entered the prestigious Xiamen University in 1965, studying statistics in its Economics Department. After his graduation in 1970, four years into the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), Zhang worked at the Maoming Oil Company in Guangdong. He spent more than a year working as a crane operator and loader, backpacking cement almost every day. He later became an office clerk, deputy secretary of the oil company's committee of the Communist Youth League of China, and deputy secretary of the Party committee of the company's refinery. In 1984, he made his way to general manager of the company and concurrently served as deputy secretary of the CPC Maoming city committee. An economist by training, Zhang began to lead the Guangdong provincial economic commission in 1985, and three years later became vice governor of Guangdong. | ||
| Media urged to use new technology Posted: 25 Dec 2012 07:59 AM PST A senior official urged traditional mainstream media in China to speed up taking advantage of new technology to keep their voice heard by public. Many major newspapers are losing their readers with the rising popularity of new media and social media, said Liu Binjie, chief of the General Administration of Press and Publication. "Some mainstream media are facing great challenges now. They have very little influence on the Internet. Some people joke that only the reporters themselves and those who were reported on are reading their papers or watching the programs," Liu said. "They should change their mind and make full use of the new technology and platform to promote the mainstream values and morals." | ||
| Wang Qishan: Rise of a troubleshooter Posted: 25 Dec 2012 07:59 AM PST BEIJING - "He can do it" was many observers' comment when Wang Qishan took up a challenging new mission last month to lead China's top discipline watchdog amid rising calls for crackdown on corruption. Simply more than a month into his new role, Wang has demonstrated the same style that previously won his fame as a troubleshooter in the economic field: tough, resolute and confident in front of difficulties. "Ethics of the Party determines its survival or demise," Wang told a symposium at the end of November, two weeks after he became secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (CPC). "In the fight against corruption, we can not attain our goal at one stroke. We must convince the public that we are making more and more concrete efforts and delivering more and more powerful blows," he said. At the symposium, Wang asked his guests to forget empty formulae but go straight to their points. He also encouraged them to forget their prepared speech manuscripts but show their keen insights. "Please feel free to speak out what you want to say," Wang told the attendees. | ||
| Company unveils emergency medical-treatment plan Posted: 25 Dec 2012 07:59 AM PST Shenzhen Bright Future Technology Co, in cooperation with Wuhan University of Technology, unveiled a plan relating to emergency medical treatment, sources with the company said. Under the plan, the company will provide safety emergency products and solutions to users, according to Dong Zhibo, the company's CEO. "For example, users will get emergency cards that include their blood condition, weight and medical history. We can detect the geographic location of the users once they are in accidents and ensure doctors conduct prompt treatment based on the emergency-card information," Dong said. The project covers emergency treatment in transportation, fire, outdoors, home and industrial accidents. "The plan aims to provide prompt emergency treatment," Dong said. Shenzhen Bright Future Technology signed a series of cooperative agreements with some leading insurance and medical organizations on Dec 20 in Shenzhen to provide efficient emergency solutions. In addition, the company has become an emergency management supplier to SAIC Motor Commercial Vehicle Co, which specializes in manufacturing school buses. The technology company will provide about 3,000 first-aid cases to school buses manufactured by the Shanghai-based SAIC Motor. | ||
