The State Council announced its decision to cancel the requirement for special qualifications concerning workers in 62 professions， including artificial limb makers， and also its aim to cancel requirements for evaluations of online commercial agents and medical representatives.

The decision to cancel such qualifications and evaluation is an important part of the government’s effort to abolish certain ad ministrative approval items and improve its service to the public， the State Council said in a statement.

It also said that the country should further cancel professional qualifications or requirements in order to create a more favorable environment for professional talent and encourage innovation and mass entrepreneurship.

Qualifications for entering a profes- sion required by departments under the State Council — but without any legal basis — should be canceled. And the evaluation of professionals that the State Council’s departments， national associations or institutes set up independently should also be canceled.

The central and local authorities should speed up the compilation of a national list of professions that require qualifications or evaluations， and any requirements not on the list will be unacceptable， the State Council said.

China Gets the 2022 Winter Olympics

The International Olympic Committee （IOC） has awarded Beijing the 2022 Winter Olympic Games， making the Chinese capital the first city in history to host both the Summer and Winter Games. But even as people across China celebrate， attention is already turning to the delivery of the games.

After years of planning and hard work， Beijing will host a winter Olympic Games.

“This is a very happy and encouraging event for China. We thank IOC for granting China the opportunity. Beijing is now the world’s only city to hold both summer and Winter Olympics. This is just a beginning for us. Next we will build our country， and present an extraordinary excellent winter sports event in 2022，”Vice-Premier Liu Yandong said.
