BEIJING - Chinese authorities have stressed that profit-making contract work conducted by the military is being phased out.A circular issued by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission said the move was a key part of military reform and a crucial decision in the building of powerful, world-class armed forces.The circular said that the gradual phasing out of profit-making services provided by the military had begun in 2016 and achieved significant progress, though there was still more work to be done.It said all such contract work should end by the end of 2018, and that programs should be closed down if they sought profit, deviated from the military's core responsibility or provided solely civilian services.Different strategies may be adopted to terminate existing programs deemed complex or sensitive. Some former military services can be absorbed by the military-civilian integration system. These include certain state programs suitable for the armed forces and those where the military has an advantage and is needed for state construction projects.After service termination, evacuated land and property will be managed by the Central Military Commission.The circular said terminating such services was the shared responsibility of the military as well as central and local authorities.Leading officials should take the lead, discipline be observed and a good work ethic enforced to ensure the task is accomplished in time and in full, it said. make rubber braceletsplain wristbandswristband keychainbatman wristband
Safety precautions must keep up with the rapid development and frequent updates of novel internet technology to safeguard cybersecurity for the public, said a senior official from China's top internet watchdog. "In those areas, such as the internet of things, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and the 5G network, relevant technological institutions and companies must plan ahead of time and effectively keep away security risks that keep changing," Yang Xiaowei, deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, said at a summit on cybersecurity technology in Shanghai on Monday. Dozens of university professors and business leaders from home and abroad in the area of cybersecurity participated in the summit and discussed various topics, including a safe and efficient internet of the future, cyberspace safety concepts, and new challenges regarding cyberspace security with the rise of burgeoning technologies. Dong Yunhu, head of Shanghai's publicity department, said cyberspace has become a national security issue. "Cyberspace managers must improve their capability of protecting the security of data and personal information to ensure an unbreakable, safe cyberspace," he said. The summit was held amid the annual Cybersecurity Week, an activity aimed at raising awareness about knowledge and policies related to cybersecurity, which began in Shanghai on Saturday and will last through Sunday. Organized by multiple authorities, including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Education and Bank of China, this is the third time the summit has been held in the country. The first two were held in Beijing and Wuhan, Hubei province, respectively. Forums in the following days will feature several topics, including enhancing the comprehensive morality of internet users and establishing a cleaner cyberspace, big data security and personal information protection, as well as technical standards of cybersecurity.
