Chen Jining， former Minister of Environmental Protection， was appointed acting mayor of Beijing on May 27.
During Chen’s tenure as minister of environmental protection since February 2015， he has promoted the reform of China’s environmental protection system. He has been dedicated to improving environmental quality with a focus on Beijing， Tianjin and Hebei Province and surrounding areas and organized multiple rounds of supervision and inspection of environmental protection across the country. Such a system of supervision and inspection was institutionalized in July 2015.
Born in Lishu County， northeast China’s Jilin Province in 1964， Chen studied at Tsinghua University from 1981 to 1986， obtaining a bachelor’s degree in science. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in civil engineering from Imperial College London in 1993. Chen joined Tsinghua University in 1998 as vice dean of the Department of Environmental Engineering. In 2012， he rose to the position of president of Tsinghua University.
Tenants’ Rights Strengthened
Guangming Daily May 26
A draft regulation to regulate the residential rental market was issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on May 21. Nearly half of the regulation dwells upon how to protect tenants’ rights and interests， which is undoubtedly inspiring news for tenants. For instance， landlords are forbidden from arbitrarily evicting tenants or raising the rent without notifying tenants three months in advance.
According to statistics， 160 million residents in urban areas in China rent a home， accounting for 21 percent of the total permanent urban population. A report published by home-renting platform 107room.com in March revealed ten- ants’ low degree of satisfaction with landlords for reasons such as refusing to return the deposit， raising rent arbitrarily and refusing to pay maintenance fees for furniture and home appliances.
The inclusiveness of a city is exemplified by its attitude toward its migrant population. If tenants face numerous difficulties in renting a home， their sense of belonging will weaken. Therefore， it’s necessary to protect tenants’rights and regulate the home rental market through laws and regulations.
The disadvantaged position of tenants also relates to the inadequate supply of rental housing. Therefore， the government should supplement the supply by increasing the amount of public or low-rent housing. Also， an effective system for hearing and settling complaints regarding home renting should be established， and punishment for violations of laws and regulations in the rental market should be stepped up.

A newly amended regulation on reporting of personal matters by officials was recently jointly released by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council in a bid to strengthen Party discipline and tighten supervision and management of offi cials.
Based on a 2010 version， the new regulation has made adjustments to the group of offi cials required to report their personal matters and expanded the specifi c matters to be reported.
For instance， previously， offi cials were only required to report spouses and children who have emigrated. According to the new regulation， offi cials should report their spouses or children working or living abroad for more than 12 consecutive months， regardless of whether or not they have emigrated.
The reporting system has been improved over the years. In 1995， a regulation was published requiring offi cials to report only their personal income. The 2010 regulation added personal matters such as change of marriage status. In 2014， the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee started to carry out nationwide spot checks and verification of officials’ personal matters reports. A total of 124，800 officials have been punished for dishonest reports.
The new regulation is expected to close loopholes in the anti-corruption regulations and enable China’s anticorruption campaign to be more targeted and effective.
More Self-Discipline for Private Hospitals
Xinhua Daily Telegraph May 25
Private businesses are encouraged to provide diversifi ed medical services in a guideline recently issued by the State Council， in order to realize the target of completing a diversifi ed， multilayered healthcare system by 2020.
According to the guideline， supervision and management of private medical institutions will be strengthened， and these institutions should enhance self-discipline in order to improve their credibility. Private medical institutions have become an important component of the health industry. According to statistics， the number of patients treated by private medical institutions accounted for 22 percent of the total number of patients in China in 2015.
In the meantime， the private medical sector has long been notorious for practices such as deceptive advertising， exaggeration of patients’ sickness and overuse of medical tests for the purpose of profit. Such practices have seriously harmed patients’ interests. They have occurred because some private hospitals recklessly pursue profi ts regardless of social ethics and the responsibilities to be shouldered by enterprises. Benevolence to people in need should be the pursuit and foundation of all medical institutions， no matter whether they are private or public. Both private and public hospitals are at the forefront of China’s ongoing medical reforms. In addition to grasping the opportunities provided by the government’s favorable policies， private medical institutions should improve their ethics in order to gain trust and support from the public and achieve greater results in the new round of reform.
