(Xinhua/Ding Haitao) BEIJING - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang called for joint efforts to advance reform and opening-up, promote innovation, sustain economic growth and improve people's livelihood at the ongoing national legislative session Tuesday. Joining deputies to the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) from southern Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Li stressed following the guide of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Li said as this year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up drive, local governments should not only fully implement national reform policies, but launch tailored measures of their own to create a business-friendly environment for the benefit of enterprises and the public. Local governments were also told to practise frugality but increase spending on programs for people's livelihood and focus on poverty alleviation. Senior leaders including Wang Yang, Wang Huning and Han Zheng, all members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, also joined panel discussions of political advisors and NPC deputies Tuesday. Joining political advisors from ethnic minority groups, Wang Yang called for concrete efforts to secure victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects in areas with large ethnic minority populations. He asked them to focus on targeted poverty reduction and environment protection. While attending discussions of NPC deputies from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, Wang Huning stressed implementation of the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress on work related to the two regions, urging efforts to act in strict compliance with China's Constitution and the basic laws of the two special administrative regions, support the governments and chief executives of both regions in exercising law-based governance. Speaking to NPC deputies from Shaanxi province, Han Zheng encouraged people to strive to achieve more efficient, fairer, and more sustainable development with better quality by following the philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green, and open development that is for everyone. personalized wristbands bulkcustom braceletscool silicone wristbands for guysclear silicone wristbandssilicone medical alert wristbands
A young visitor views a specimen made from panda Xin Ni'er in Chengdu, Sichuan province, last month. It is the world's first plastinated panda specimen.Provided To China Daily The public can expect to see more exhibitions of preserved giant pandas now that the world's first specimens have been converted into plastic and put on display at the Mystery of Life Museum in Chengdu, Sichuan province. The exhibition, which opened last week, is free until the end of June. The plastinated muscles, internal organs, skin and skeleton of Xin Ni'er - a female panda that died in 2016 - can last up to 1,000 years, said Wu Jun, curator of the museum. Plastination is a process in which a liquid polymer is injected into tissues. When it hardens, the polymer preserves the tissues indefinitely. Before injecting the polymer, Sui Hongjin, founder of the museum, and his team first dissected the panda's body and removed water and fat from the muscles, internal organs, skin and skeleton. The specimens will also be used for scientific research and to enable the public to understand more about pandas, according to Zhang Hemin, executive director of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wenchuan county, Sichuan. The province plans to create more panda specimens for educational purposes. The exhibition details the evolution of the giant panda. For example, visitors can clearly see the four long, sharp teeth pandas once used to eat meat before changes in the environment encouraged them to start eating bamboo. To adjust to the change in eating habits, pandas gradually developed a sixth finger, or a pseudo finger - which, when seen in the plastinated skeleton, looks like a human thumb. It helps the giant panda hold bamboo stalks. According to an agreement with the center, Sui's team will create plastinated panda specimens free, Wu said, adding that it would normally cost about 500,000 yuan ($78,600) to turn Xin Ni'er into a plastinated specimen. The Mystery of Life Museum in Chengdu opened in December 2016 and houses plastinated human and animal bodies and organs.
