YANGON -- Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Beijing has chosen the right path of development which has brought prosperity to its people, Chairman of the Myanmar-China Friendship Association U Sein Win Aung told Xinhua in a recent interview. After decades of reform, China has established a market-oriented economy based on its own national conditions, said U Sein Win Aung who is also former Myanmar ambassador to China. Since it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has become the world's second largest economy and economists expect that Beijing may surpass Washington to rank first in the near future, he said. China adopted a market-oriented economy and established special economic zones along its coastal areas, which has successfully attracted foreign investment to boost the economy in the country's east, he said. Meanwhile, Beijing unvelied a strategy in 2000 to open up the country's west, and has achieved remarkable economic development that continues today, he added. He also praised China's multi-party cooperation and consultation under the leadership of the CPC as a good political system because party representatives can make proposals at the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Commenting on the Belt and Road Initiative, U Sein Win Aung said the initiative, which benefits China as well as the rest of the world, is a project of peace connecting Asia, Europe and Africa. The Belt and Road Initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, comprises the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which aims to build trade and infrastructure networks connecting Asia with Europe and Africa on and beyond the ancient Silk Road routes. The initiative will bring about common prosperity, upgrade infrastructure, facilitate flow of commodities and enhance mutual understanding through cultural exchanges, U Sein Win Aung said. Myanmar dominates an important position geographically on the Belt and Road, he said, expecting the country to play a larger role within the initiative's framework. China has been working to maintain peace and stability globally, he said, adding the world will be more stable if common prosperity is achieved. He expressed hope that the CPC will further develop and lead China to continue contributing to global development. silicone wristbandscreate your own wristbandrubber wristbands in bulk202mm to inchesjordan wristbandlivestrong bracelet
A doctor in one of Shanghai's rehab centers fits a VR helmet on a patient to test his addiction levels. [Provided to China Daily] China intends to set up provincial-level comprehensive hospitals nationwide to treat drug addicts who suffer from severe diseases during compulsory detoxification, according to the Ministry of Justice. To staff the hospitals, local justice departments will recruit senior and experienced doctors, nurses and pharmacists, along with some part-time professors and associate professors from provincial top-tier hospitals, said Cao Xuejun, head of the ministry's Drug Rehabilitation Administration Department. All the construction expenses will be paid by the national or local authorities. In addition, rehabilitation centers nationwide will enhance cooperation and smooth channels with the government hospitals. When drug addicts in rehabilitation centers get seriously ill, justice officers will initiate quick-response procedures and send them to nearby government hospitals for treatment, he said. According to the Ministry of Justice, nearly 240,000 drug addicts are being held in mandatory isolation for detoxification at 361 rehabilitation centers under the jurisdiction of the judicial administrative departments across the country. Each of the 361 rehabilitation centers has its own medical center. Last year, the 240,000 drug addicts around the nation had to make a total of 2.9 million hospital visits, either in the medical centers or unaffiliated hospitals. That's an average of more than 10 times each. Facing the strong demand for medical care, the abilities of the medical centers in rehabilitation centers lags far behind the practical needs, Cao said. The medical centers deal mainly with the normal and infectious illnesses of drug addicts, including AIDS, hepatitis and colds, to meet their basic needs, and if they are diagnosed with more serious diseases, including heart trouble or kidney disease or damage, they have to be sent to nearby government hospitals for treatment. But the medical resources are very limited in government hospitals because there are a great number of patients waiting to see doctors. It's more than necessary to set up the comprehensive hospitals in the provinces to treat the drug addicts with serious diseases, Cao said. He said, they will focus on conducting a unified method of treating drug addiction, such as medical treatment, education and psychological care, rehabilitative training or diagnostic evaluation nationwide to regulate the methods of the rehabilitation centers and have a standardized evaluation system to test the effects of detoxification. Moreover, they will classify the drug addicts based on their drug abuse histories and the severity of addiction, and take targeted measures to help them get over their addictions.
