schools. To deepen integration between industry and education, we better
established vocational education as a category in the educational system and

enhanced its quality. We launched the second round of the campaign to establish
world-class universities and disciplines in China and did a better job of cultivating
talent in basic disciplines.
3) Efforts were intensified to provide better healthcare services.
To advance the Healthy China Initiative, we expanded the availability of

quality medical resources, channeled them toward the community level, and made
sure they were better distributed among regions. We ensured that the
development of national medical centers got off to a good start, basically finished
planning the national layout of state-level regional medical centers, and rolled out

the comprehensive development of provincial-level regional medical centers. We
enhanced our public health capacity with regard to disease prevention, control,
and treatment and strengthened the disease prevention and control system. We
promoted the preservation and innovative development of traditional Chinese
medicine. More medicines and high-value medical consumables were included in

bulk government purchases across the country. We improved the system for
epidemic prevention, control, and treatment and worked to set up a number of
large emergency treatment facilities in key areas such as super-large and mega
cities and provincial capitals.

4) The social security system was further improved.
We expanded the coverage of social security programs, with participants in
basic old-age, unemployment, and workers’ compensation insurance schemes
reaching 1.053 billion, 238 million, and 291 million, respectively, nationwide by the
end of 2022. We worked to develop a multi-tiered, multi-pillar old-age insurance

system, released and implemented guidelines on promoting the development of
private pensions, and adopted a preferential personal income tax policy for private
pensions. We increased basic pensions for retirees from enterprises, Party and
government offices, and public institutions. We implemented a unified national

management system for enterprise workers’ basic old-age insurance funds and
worked toward provincial-level unified management of funds for unemployment
and workers’ compensation insurance. We moved forward with pilot programs for
occupational injury insurance for people in new forms of employment. We
extended the policy to expand unemployment insurance coverage.

We implemented the list-based system for medical insurance benefits,
