      Chinese premier urges all-out efforts in flood control, rescue work, disaster relief

      Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday urged all-out efforts in flood control, disaster relief and rescue work to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

      Li, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when visiting Chenzhou City, central China's Hunan Province.

      Multiple rounds of rain battered Hunan recently, causing severe flooding and geological disasters in some areas.

      In Zixing City of Chenzhou, Li inspected several villages to learn about the disaster situation including damage caused to farmland and houses, and to review the progress of relief and rescue efforts.

      He emphasized the need to spare no effort in searching for the missing people and to ensure full coverage in the search and rescue operations.

      Li also demanded a swift repair and restoration of roads, electricity and telecommunications facilities, and other essential infrastructure.

      When visiting the rescue and relief personnel at the frontline, Li expressed his gratitude, calling on them to make continuous efforts in handling emergencies.

      In Zhoumensi Town, Li visited flood-affected people at a resettlement site, inquiring in detail about their living conditions.

      He encouraged the relocated residents to stay confident and make united effort to overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes.

      Li also presided over a meeting on flood control and disaster relief, emphasizing the importance of putting people's lives and safety above all else, enhancing coordination between disaster monitoring and early warning with emergency responses, and promptly evacuating people from high-risk areas.

      He emphasized timely allocation of disaster relief funds and delivery of relief supplies to aid in post-disaster reconstruction.

      The premier also called for accelerating the construction of a series of major projects for natural disaster control and prevention.

      Biomedical companies thrive under China's FDI policies

      2025-04-06 06:46 Last Updated At:07:27

      ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠China's foreign investment policies are empowering biomedical enterprises to expand domestically and globally.

      The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) held a Foreign Invested Enterprises Tour of south China's Guangdong Province on Wednesday, presenting business opportunities as well as the country's consistent policies for further opening up in a world wracked by economic uncertainty. 

      China continues to welcome foreign investment, and its biomedical sector, including pet healthcare, is set to grow and expand. 

      Joey Yeo is among hundreds of international business leaders on the tour. As the founder of two pet healthcare startups in Shanghai, Joey leverages China's pro-foreign direct investment (FDI) measures. 

      "I think the openness with the local government and the business district has been very fruitful," said Yeo, CEO of HEAL Management Group.

      With streamlined approvals and regulatory guidance, Yeo's company plans to scale operations across multiple cities. 

      "Not just Shanghai, but we used to see other cities as well coming to us and asking us, giving us more opportunities and more understanding how we can actually set a bigger landscape," he said. 

      Yeo's story reflects broader trends - China's FDI policies have reduced entry barriers, while banks like Bank of East Asia (BEA) offer tailored financial solutions. 

      "I don't think any multinational company or foreign investors can ignore the huge market capacity, the huge potential of greater China. So we are going through the fintech transformation and by adapting AI, big data, block chains - those kind of technology, we can better help those SMEs in need," said Bi Mingqiang, CEO of BEA(China).

      As China prioritizes openness, biomedical firms and financial institutions are forging a symbiotic growth model, proving resilient in a fragmented global economy.
