China established the state service
center for veterans on Tuesday(February 26th), which aims to support veterans' employment, improve their
welfare and guarantee their rights and interests.
The service center for ex-servicemen
will mainly help them find jobs or start up their own businesses, and assist
them with preferential treatments.
The service center for veterans will be
fully established at all levels from provinces to villages in China, which
reflects the government's increasing attention on the placement of
ex-servicemen after the Ministry of Veterans Affairs was set up in 2018.
China is now paying more attention to helping
ex-servicemen with new jobs. For example, of the veterans who accepted
government placement, more than 80 percent have been given new positions in
government organs, public institutions and state-owned companies. More than
80,000 former military officers were offered civilian jobs and over 400,000
retired soldiers were resettled in 2018 by local governments, said Wang
Zhiming, a spokesman for the ministry at a January press conference.
