The boundaries between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are blurring in today's exciting transformation of China. Whether it's the movement of people, the convergence of transportation, or the exchange of commerce, almost every aspect is experiencing unprecedented consolidation. In this context, a new milestone has emerged here, that is, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei "all-in-one card" social security card.
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei "all-in-one card" social security card
On December 26 last year, the leaders of the three major cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei gathered in Shijiazhuang and jointly signed the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Social Security Card Resident Service "One Card" Cooperation Framework Agreement.
This move is intended to promote the development of their respective social security cards in the direction of cross-provincial access and multi-functional integration, so as to provide more efficient and efficient services to the people across the country, and promote the better integration of diversified services and policies, share information, and become a proof of public trust.
First of all, the three places will establish a mechanism for joint consultation and co-construction, a joint meeting mechanism, and an information sharing mechanism to strengthen cooperation and promote the unity and convenience of social security policies.
Secondly, the three places will jointly compile the overall plan, data standards, interface specifications, scenario tasks, etc. of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei social security card resident service "one card" to form a complete and interconnected system. Finally, in order to prevent data leakage and network attacks, a "one-card" data sharing system and security protection system will be built.
Underneath this grand change is an unimaginably large user base. According to statistics, the number of social security card holders in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has reached 115 million, basically realizing "one card per person".
Turning our attention further to the electronic social security card, we will find even more alarming statistics: the number of people who have received the electronic social security card has reached 85.01 million, and it covers 74% of the permanent population in the economic circle. A seemingly ordinary card contains an incomparably huge amount of information and service needs behind it.
Beijing renewed the third-generation social security card
However, the new changes are far from stopping. For Beijing, a major breakthrough is underway. That is the renewal plan for the third-generation social security card in Beijing. What's even more exciting is that this card is not just a proof of identity, but a key that can open a new way of life.
With just one card, cardholders can take buses and subways, borrow books in libraries, visit major museums, and apply for annual travel cards in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. This means that it will become a "life convenience card" and you can enjoy a wide range of services no matter where you are.
However, the Beijing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau not only pays attention to the functional changes of the card, but also focuses on the seamless connection in the service process, and tries its best to ensure that all these changes will not affect the normal use of the cardholder.
This will be an extremely challenging but necessary task, as it involves the tolerance and ease of use of social security policies, which are essential to enhance people's sense of gain, happiness and security.
These changes seem to be just bits and pieces of daily convenience, but in fact, they are all huge changes in the background. We know that contemporary China is accelerating its transition to a digital society across the board.
As one of the carriers of citizenship and rights and interests, the improvement of the functionality and convenience of the social security card will directly promote the digitalization of social public services.
With the gradual integration of the social security card in the fields of government services, transportation, cultural experience, tourism, medical treatment and drug purchase, we can foresee that the social security card will become the most convenient "pass" in the life of citizens in the future, opening up the exchanges between people and between cities, becoming the "heart-to-heart card" of the government, so that the government can grasp the needs of the people more accurately and in a timely manner, and becoming the "bridge card" for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, connecting the information, resources and opportunities of the three places.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once gave high expectations for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. The signing of the "all-in-one card" for the residents of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei social security card is undoubtedly at the forefront of implementing the spirit of the general secretary's instructions. It has opened a new window for the coordinated development of the three places, and has also brought practical convenience.
And for us ordinary people, that familiar social security card will have more functions and bring more possibilities. Whether you are working, living, or just traveling anywhere in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the social security card will become the most convenient "pass" in your hands.
