promoted equal access to basic public services related to medical insurance, and
helped improve services to directly settle medical expenses incurred outside of a

patient’s home province. We moved faster to build a housing system featuring
multiple suppliers and various support channels that encourages both renting and
purchasing housing. We improved city-specific policies on real estate regulation
and supported people in buying their first home or improving their housing
situation. We worked to expand the effective supply of government-subsidized

rental housing in order to address housing difficulties faced by new urban
residents and young people. The number of newly-added government-subsidized
rental units, including those under construction and units reclassified as public
rental housing, totaled 2.65 million nationwide.

We pushed ahead with dynamic adjustments to national standards for basic

capacity in the domestic service sector and worked to see that communities have
better access to domestic services. We intensified efforts to implement the national

measures to boost birth rates, and started work on developing the first group of
national-level child-friendly cities. We supported non-government actors in

rewards and benefits for ex-service members. We made solid efforts to prevent and
