Companies urged to help former soldiers
Print Edition
THE Chinese government has told state-owned companies they must help absorb soldiers laid off due to military reforms as part of their contribution to the army’s modernization and social stability.
In September, President Xi Jinping announced that China would be cutting troop numbers by 300,000, or some 13 percent of the world’s biggest military, currently 2.3 million strong.
Yesterday, the official People’s Liberation Army Daily said the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Civil Affairs Ministry had ordered state-owned enterprises to help provide jobs and positions for ex-servicemen.
“Resettling and receiving ex-servicemen is connected to the overall picture of military construction and social harmony and stability,” the newspaper said.
State-owned companies must not put forward any “discriminatory documents” targeting ex-servicemen nor refuse them nor offer limits on their numbers, the report said.
These rules are an important, practical measure to help support military reforms, it said, adding that state-owned firms had already shown a willingness to help.
