Guo Jie， the oldest Olympian who had represented China， passed away at the age of 103 on November 15.
Born in Dalian in northeast China’s Liaoning Province in 1912， Guo won a berth for the 1936 Berlin Olympics in the discus in a national qualifier in 1935 and set a national record of 41.07 meters. He improved on that mark at the Berlin Olympics， making 41.13 meters， though it ultimately was not enough to make it to the final.
Guo became a researcher and coach at the Xi’an Physical Education University in 1954. He retired in 1987. Guo carried the Olympic torch running along the streets of Xi’an， northwest China’s Shaanxi Province， prior to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
All to Clean the Air
China Youth Daily November 17
Northeast and north China recently suffered from heavy smog for days following a start in the heating supply in mid-November in the region. Shenyang， the capital city of Liaoning Province， had PM2.5 readings surpassing 1，400 micrograms per cubic meter.
No one is immune to the consequences of air pollution. To clean the air， we should push forward energy conservation and reduce emissions， along with restructuring the energy industry. However， this restructuring is a gradual process in need of joint efforts from both the government and the public.
In fact， our lifestyles have taken a heavy toll on the environment. Cars emit large amounts of pollutants into the air. And public consumption activities result in 30 percent of the overall carbon emissions in China. Everyone is responsible for air pollution， and everyone should make effort to clean the air.
Taking public transportation instead of private cars， lighting fewer fireworks， using fewer air conditioners， having fewer outdoor barbecues and taking fewer elevator lifts are effective ways for individuals to reduce the air pollution.
Local governments should encourage the public to take part in environment assessments， which will plant the concept of “green and environmentally friendly” and improve the supervision of illegal pollutant emissions.
Broken Cold Chain
Oriental Outlook November 19
Fresh produce in China has had a short shelf life for a long time， due to frequent breaks in cold chain and excessive heat exposure， resulting in a severe loss in perishable foods.
Only 10 percent of China’s fruits and vegetables were shipped and distributed through cold chain in 2015， according to Cui Zhongfu， Vice President of China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing. During transport or sitting in a storage area， about 20 to 30 percent of China’s fruits and vegetables perish， resulting in a loss of 100 billion yuan （$15.67 billion） every year. China’s cold chain infrastructure has greatly improved over the past four years. By 2014， China’s gross refrigerated warehouse capacity had amounted to 33.2 million tons， equaling 83 million cubic meters. But the cost of a standardized and uninterrupted cold chain is far higher than common logistics. Few suppliers and buyers are willing to pay to refrigerate their produce， leaving 60 percent of refrigerated trucks and cars in China empty.
What’s worse， given the complexity of China’s fresh produce supply chain， it’s a long journey for fruits and vegetables from the farm to the home. Improper storage and distribution activities， actually frequently seen in China， break the fragile cold chain.
How can China maintain this supply chain？ Joint efforts between buyers， vendors， suppliers， third-party logistics companies and policy makers are needed. Solutions include improving cold chain infrastructure， standardizing storage activities， supervising every layer of distribution and educating the public on the dangers of broken cold chain.
More Effective Elderly Care
Changsha Evening News November 13
On November 11， China’s Central Government passed a plan to combine medical care and services for the elderly， and set up trial programs in local regions， which has attracted widespread media coverage.
China currently has more than 200 million senior citizens over the age of 60. The aging population is in urgent need of medical care and nursing services. The traditional services for the elderly are separate from the medical system， so older patients have to divide their time between hospitals and nursing homes.
Combining medical care and services for the elderly can optimize an allocation of resources by seamlessly integrating medical treatment， rehabilitation， daily care and hospice care for the elderly， reducing the burdens placed on hospitals and health insurance.
Under the plan， all medical institutions will provide appointments and hospitalization， and all nursing homes will be able to provide diversified services， including rehabilitation and daily care for the elderly. Regions with abundant medical institutions are encouraged to transform some stateowned hospitals into nursing homes.
A good policy needs careful implementation. When combining medical care with services for the elderly， the local governments should intensify the supervision and assessment of institutions offering integrated services and regulate medical and daily care activities. The governments should also combine volunteers， charities and welfare institutions to develop medical care services for the elderly. SENIOR SECURITIES OFFICIAL PROBED
Yao Gang， Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission （CSRC）， is being investigated for suspected “severe disciplinary violations，” the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced on November 13.
Yao， 53， has a doctorate in economics and joined the CSRC in 1993. He was appointed president of Guotai Junan Securities， one of the largest investment banks in China， at the age of 36 and returned to the CSRC three years later. He was promoted to his current position in 2008.
The CSRC is a ministerial-level agency responsible for supervising and managing the domestic securities and futures market. The investigation into Yao came after President Xi Jinping urged effective regulation of the stock market and better protection of investors’ interests.
