The Information Office of the State Council yesterday released the directory of press spokespersons for central state organs and local governments in 2019, and all 237 press spokesmen appeared.
Since 2004, the State Council's new office has published a list of press spokespersons for 15 consecutive years. From the 75 speakers announced for the first time to 237 today, the "team" has grown threefold.
The governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat id: capitalnews) noted that in the list, speakers from several newly formed departments made their debuts, including the National Health Security Administration, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Ministry of Natural Resources. In addition, there are some "old faces" among the speakers who appear in "new identities".
The State Medical Insurance Bureau is a newly established department after the institutional reform of the State Council, and Yan Qinghui, director of the office, became the first spokesperson of the department, and the release of the directory is the first time that Yan Qinghui appeared as a spokesman in public reports.
According to public information, Yan Qinghui was born in February 1972, with a master's degree in law, and from December 2013 to May 2018, he served as deputy director of the Department of Medical Insurance of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and later transferred to the director of the office of the State Medical Insurance Bureau.
In May, Yan Qinghui talked about the issue of medical insurance improvement at the 14th China Health Industry Summit Forum. He pointed out that the improvement of medical insurance should be talked about from two aspects, one is basic security, and the other is multi-level security.
He pointed out that at the level of basic security, the imbalance between the basic medical insurance fund areas is a big problem. The next step of work needs to promote system integration, improve the basic medical insurance financing and treatment adjustment mechanism, improve the regional balance adjustment mechanism of medical insurance funds, and innovate medical insurance management services.
Yan Qinghui said that at present, China's multi-level medical insurance has a preliminary framework, but there is still a problem that the overall scale of commercial health insurance is not large, and it is difficult for social medical assistance to bear the bottom responsibility. Therefore, the next step also needs to improve the multi-level medical security system. One of the most important is to increase the power of rescue for the people in need and achieve the bottom of the rescue.
In fact, before the release of this list, there were already a number of spokesmen for newly formed departments in public appearances, and on November 27, Wang Zhiming, spokesman for the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and director of the General Office, introduced the overall situation of information collection for veterans and other preferential care recipients.
Wang Zhiming is no stranger to the resettlement of demobilized military personnel, he has successively performed his duties in the former Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, served as the director of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the director of the Department of Resettlement of Demobilized Military Personnel, and has 3 years of experience in aiding Tibet. After the establishment of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, Wang Zhiming first served as the leader of the two groups of the Ministry's government affairs group and the resettlement group for demobilized military personnel, and then served as the director of the general office of the Ministry of Affairs, and concurrently served as a press spokesman.
Guang Defu, the first spokesman of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, served in the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the former Ministry of Agriculture, served as the director of the Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Supervision Bureau of the former Ministry of Agriculture, and became the director of the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in August this year.
In an interview in August, Guangdefu said that in the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs should adhere to the problem orientation, continue to exert efforts around prominent problems, weak links and key areas, and strictly prevent, strictly manage and strictly control the quality and safety risks of agricultural products. Increase the intensity of law enforcement and case handling, severely crack down on illegal additions, the manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods, private slaughter and indiscriminate slaughter, and the illegal use of agricultural inputs, promptly publish typical cases, deter lawbreakers and criminals, and truly form the effect of investigating and punishing one case and warning one piece.
In addition, Cong Liang, secretary general of the National Development and Reform Commission, Yuan Da, director of the Policy Research Office; Mi Feng and Hu Qiangqiang, deputy directors of the Publicity Department of the National Health Commission; Wei Dong, director of the Legislative Affairs Department of the Ministry of Transport; Cai Tuanjie, deputy director of the Department of Transport Services; and Mao Jian, deputy inspector of the Department of Comprehensive Planning, are also "new faces" in the press spokesperson team.
The governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat id: capitalnews) noticed that there were also some "old faces" who appeared in the list as "new identities".
For example, Xiong Yuanming, director of the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and Yu Jiannan, deputy director of the Ministry of Culture, were the former spokesmen of the Ministry of Culture; Chen Shuyu, deputy director of the Office of the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, was the spokesman of the former State Grain Administration; and Xia Jun, deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources, was the spokesman of the former Ministry of Land and Resources.
"The spokesperson is not a 'single soldier'. Behind every press spokesperson, there is a strong team that supports and collaborates. Liu Youbin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and director of the Department of Publicity and Education, said that in the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, because of the professionalism and complexity of the problem, behind every release and response, it is inseparable from the support of the leaders of the ministry and a large amount of materials provided by the relevant business departments. Press spokespersons need to build on these "raw materials" and strive to disseminate them in an accurate and more understandable direction.
Colonel Ren Guoqiang, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense and deputy director of the Information Bureau, pointed out that as the most authoritative release of the country in the military field, the spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense should promptly release information, refute rumors, clarify the situation, and work with the media to expose the violation of sovereignty in a timely manner. "There is a deterrent effect on potential enemies, but not a threat to friendly countries." There is deterrence without threat, which is the best state. ”
