@tiger: Maybe???
Of course he is. However, the system has been based on hypocrisy for a long time, and the current rage to focus on Trump's buffoonery and arrogant behaviour, although fun, is a dangerous distraction.
@Napoleon: no it doesn't.
How hard is it for you to get through the day?
My bank is 2 blocks from where I live and when I don't have any more cash, I go there and get some more, about once a month. System has worked well for many years.
@lemonlover: what you report sounds fake to me. However,
@dolphin: we are mostly lied to by nonreportage of significant details rather than by the use of outright lies - easier to distort information this way. This is done because those in power in journalism have other interests than simply telling the truth, which is sometimes inconvenient for them.
Then, too, 'the truth' is not simply a matter of a bunch of facts.
No experience with care for children, but I've had good (not perfect - 1 drug was overprescribed) experience with Kunming No. 2 hospital for a potentially quite serious skin problem - which, thanks to them, I no longer have (5 years). Yeah, I had to wait half an hour to an hour to see the doctor several times and I had to run around to different departments and collect test results myself, but so what. Cost of consultation, blood tests, X-rays etc. was very minimal - meds bought at the hospital pharmacy may have been slightly more expensive than if I'd bought them elsewhere.
This followed fairly useless, yet more expensive, experience with the (apparently independent and private) skin disease hospital on Renminxilu.
Very glad to hear of this. I won't be able to participate personally, as I'll be out of China at the time, but I encourage everybody else to (I hope that does't sound lame). Maybe there's some other way I can help out?
Another reason to allow ALL workers to become trade union members, with none of the bullshit about migrants from rural areas not really being 'workers' because their id cards say they are farmers. Much of china's economic 'success' has been built on the backs of such people - yeah, but...Whose success was that now?
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay
发布者The workers should hold them liable with brickbats.

发布者You pay your workers FIRST - only then do you look for money to pay other debts.
