In August, the MPS issued several measures for the public security organs to ensure high-quality development. There are 26 specific items, involving public security, household administration, and entry and exit services. What progress has been made in the implementation of these measures over the past two months? Thank you.

Yang Xin:

Thank you for your attention to our work. Since the release of the 26 measures in August for public security organs to ensure high-quality development, the MPS has organized public security organs across the nation to refine and implement these measures in an effective and orderly manner. So far, 23 out of the 26 measures have been put in place, and the remaining three are steadily progressing. Some of the measures achieved initial success as soon as they were adopted, while others have developed into detailed and effective institutional arrangements. 

First, we have made more efforts to increase institutional supply to better serve the major strategies of the Party and the country. Localities have been urged to further lower requirements for permanent residency registration, improve the points-based household registration system, and explore a unified household registration admission system for city clusters. By doing so, we have sped up work on granting permanent urban residency to people originally from rural areas and help them better integrate into new environments. Based on actual needs, we have issued port visas and multiple entry visas to foreign persons who came to China for business and trade talks, exchanges and visits, investment and start-ups, among other activities. 

Second, we have further streamlined administration, simplified procedures, and increased efficiency to better serve the public and start-ups. We have advanced public security administrative services, such as one-stop field services, one-stop online services, and inter-provincial services. Procedures related to the processing of driver's licenses and passport documents have been managed using a unified national system, based on which all types of household registration transfers can be handled in non-native places among 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. Since August, more than 500,000 transfers have been delivered on an inter-provincial basis. A WeChat mini-program named "Ping'an Chuhai" (literally, safe voyage) was put into use, making work and life of over 9 million seafarers more convenient.

Third, we have refined public security and traffic management services to better meet people’s transport needs. Measures have been launched to offer improved services, such as easier access to license and certificate applications, simplified vehicle registration and transactions, better management of bus lanes in cities, time-limited parking spaces, and the fast handling of minor traffic accidents via online videos. More than 10 million people have enjoyed these services since August. Among them, 1.2 million people took improved motorcycle examinations, 280,000 new vehicles from 33 automobile manufacturers were tested in 36 cities, and 205,000 minor traffic accidents in 116 pilot cities were dealt with in a faster way via videos. Meanwhile, we have attached importance to the construction of institutions and mechanisms, introducing specifications for public security departments to receive and file cases in a more standard way and to efficiently deal with complaints from the enterprise's reporting platform.

Next, public security departments will continue to ensure coordination between security and development, vitality and order, as well as service and supervision. We will make concrete efforts to fulfill the major political responsibility of advancing and ensuring high-quality development through better services. Striving for new efforts, new undertakings, and new achievements, the public security departments will continue to contribute to serving and ensuring high-quality development and sustaining the miracles of fast economic growth and long-term social stability. Thank you.
