China plans to build 800，000 charging points， including 100，000 public ones， for electric vehicles this year to meet increasing demand， the National Energy Administration （NEA） said.
A total of 100，000 public charging points have been installed nationwide in 2016， bringing the total number of public charging points in China to 150，000， according to the NEA. A total of 14，000 kilometers of highway has also been equipped with inter-city fast-charging stations， with an average spacing of 48.6 kilometers. Electric vehicles consumed more than 1.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in China last year， saving about 400，000 tonnes of fuel， according to the NEA.
In Beijing and Shanghai， a charging facility can now always be found within a radius of less than 5 km， while other major cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen are working toward this goal.“For the new year， China will work to solve the payment and informationrelated problems for charging facility operators and implement a unified national standard for charging ports of electric vehicles，” said the NEA. Accord- ing to China’s 13th Five-Year Plan （2016-2020）， the country will build a nationwide charging-station network that will fulfill the power demands of 5 million electric vehicles by 2020.
Chinese Mainland to Issue Preferential Policies for Taiwan Compatriots
A Chinese mainland spokesperson said that Beijing will issue policies to support and attract Taiwanese to work and live on the mainland. The policies are currently being drawn up， An Fengshan， spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council， said at a regular press conference.
An said the policies cover employment， social insurance and living needs， adding that the policies will not only facilitate Taiwanese to live and work on the mainland， but aim to boost the social and economic integration of the two sides. In response to a question concerning remarks by the Taiwan administration about Taiwanese enterprises that operate on the mainland， An said the Chinese mainland had always encouraged and supported Taiwanese enterprises and set great store by safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests. “We used to do in this way and we will continue to do it in the future，” said An， asking in reply that “who on earth is disturbing and hindering cross-Strait economic cooperation and Taiwan investment in the mainland？ We must see it clearly.” An said huge business opportunities had been created by the reform and opening up of the mainland. The Chinese mainland will continue to encourage Taiwan businessmen to develop on the mainland， and provide more convenience and opportunities for them. China to Further Reduce Business Charges to Lessen Corporate Burden
China’s State Council decided to further reduce and standardize business charges to lower the corporate burden in the real economy.
Such moves mark a key part of the country’s drive to streamline administration and push forward supplyside reform， as the country aims to progress while maintaining stability in running the economy， according to a statement released after a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Li Keq- iang.
Since 2013， central and local authorities have made moves to eliminate more than 1，000 administrative fees. However， the statement said， arbitrary charges remained prominent.
China to Streamline Approvals for Elderly Care Institutions
Chinese authorities will streamline the approval process for elderly care institutions to address challenges brought by the aging population.
The move aims to mobilize private funds to engage in elderly care services and reduce the costs of joining the sector， according to a circular jointly released by 13 departments， including the Ministry of Civil Affairs， the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Public Security.
The circular said that fewer application materials would be required to run elderly care institutions， and that registering real estate as elderly care institutions would be more convenient.
It urged for improved supervision and law enforcement， as well as a smooth complaints channel during the process. Information on demand and supply should be updated in good time and social funds would be encouraged to invest in the sector.
There are currently more than 220 million people over 60 years old in the country， 16.1 percent of the population， with numbers growing.
China May Allow More Movies from Hollywood
China is likely to allow more Hollywood films into the Chinese market as government officials and industry representatives from China and the US prepare to return to the negotiation table to discuss the quota for imported movies and sharing of box office profits.
Under the current five-year deal， which was signed on February 17， 2012， China permits 34 films to be imported from all countries per year， 14 of which should be 3D or largeformat films.
That was increased from the annual quota of 20 films when China joined the WTO in December 2001. Hollywood films take the majority of the quota. Meanwhile， the share of Chinese box office earnings by the US studios also increased from 13 percent to 25 percent. C h e n Changye， a film industry analyst， predicted that a dozen more films will be added to the quota， noting that no quota will be specifically assigned to 3D movies. “It is the right time for both nations to return to the negotiation table and open China’s door wider. US film producers are currently keen on exploring China’s huge box office bonanza， which has become the world’s second-largest movie market. On the other hand， domestic movies have grown and claimed their stakes in the market in recent years，” Chen said.
Signs of a relaxation in the quota have already surfaced. In 2016， 39 Hol- lywood films， including Walt Disney’s blockbuster Zootopia， were premiered in China based on the calculation of the Global Times. The number has exceeded the usual quota of 34， raising the likelihood of a quota expansion in 2017.
Besides， the share of revenues going to US distributors is also expected to move toward the international average of 40 percent， although it might “not be as large as the previous 12 percentage points increase，” Huang Guofeng， an analyst from Beijing-based consultancy Analysys International， predicted.
