[Photo/Xinhua] Almost 92 percent of the environmental violations uncovered this year during inspections of the lakes and waterways that supply China's drinking water have been addressed, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said in a news release over the weekend. However, the problems that remain unsolved will be hard nuts to crack, it added. Officials discovered 6,251 violations during two rounds of inspections involving 1,586 bodies of water in May and September. The targeted locations provide drinking water supplies to cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and many more around China. As of Wednesday, 5,745 violations had been corrected, the ministry said on Saturday. Early this month, the Ningxia Hui autonomous region was found to have made no progress in fixing its two violations, but over the weekend it was listed among six provincial regions that have been given a 100 percent pass. Also on that list were Shanghai and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Sixteen regions, including Shandong and Sichuan provinces and Beijing, have addressed 90 percent of their problems, while Tianjin ranked last at 77.8 percent, the ministry said. The State Council published an action plan in March that focused on environmental protection in areas around drinking water sources. It vowed to root out violations found by inspectors by the end of this year. But accomplishing that task could be highly difficult, according to the ministry release, which said six provincial regions had failed to make progress as scheduled, including Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces and Tianjin. More than half the violations found in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Yunnan provinces have yet to be corrected, it said, adding that Guangdong, the country's most economically developed province, has 144 violations outstanding. A high-level inspection team has also criticized Siping, in Jilin province, for its slow progress in dealing with illegal tourism activities near a reservoir that supplies drinking water to 600,000 urban residents. During a visit late last year, the team, headed by a ministerial-level official, found a developer had felled 37,000 trees, seriously damaging the ecological environment. Local authorities failed to stop the illegal operation until July, and more than 200,000 tourists had visited the key protected area surrounding the reservoir this year, according to the team, which vowed to further investigate and hold those responsible to account. triple single rubber band braceletbest buy wristbandcustom silicone bracelets canadacustom rolex braceletcustom made silicone bracelets no minimum

[Photo/VCG] BEIJING -- The State Council General Office has issued a document on the combination of funds and management resources for maternity insurance and basic medical insurance in a bid to improve management efficiency and reduce operation costs. The move is also aimed at establishing an institutional system that adapts to China's economic development and optimizes insurance management resources, according to the document. The collection and management of funds, as well as the medical service management, will be unified, it said. Relevant authorities should raise risk prevention awareness, reasonably guide expectations, improve maternity insurance monitoring indicators, and establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism based on maternity insurance and expenditure needs, the document said. The integration should be completed by the end of this year, it added. black rubber bracelets meaningsilicone wristbands australiapurple silicone braceletsrubber wristbands custom cheaprubber wristbands ebay<%2fcenter>
