In the 14th Five-Year Plan period,China’s service sector boasts huge potentials and is expected to maintain steady growth. By2025, the service sector is expected to account for 59.05% of total value added, 54.96% ofemployment, 60.51% of fixed asset investment, and 50.04% of consumption. Service laborproductivity will rise from 143,400 yuan/person in 2019 to 178,400 yuan/person by 2025.It can thus be concluded that in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China’s service sectorwill play a dominant role in the economy and head toward higher quality development. Toachieve this goal, we must allow for the decisive role of the market and the fundamentalrole of the government, and open up new prospects in development of the service sector withrespect to digilitalization, platform-based operations, smart technology, integration, andstandardization.展开更多

文摘China’s human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS)prevention and control efforts have entered a new stage,necessitating the exploration of more effective intervention strategies.HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP)is a proven method to prevent HIV infection,but its promotion in China faces challenges such as low public acceptance and inadequate service capacity.To further promote PrEP,the“HIV PrEP Model Exploration Project”was launched,exploring three PrEP service models:PrEP clinics,Digital services and physical testing,and PrEP self-service vending machines.The project achieved certain results,establishing a PrEP service network,training professional staff,and promoting the use of PrEP.In the future,it is necessary to further expand publicity channels,enhance public awareness and acceptance,optimize follow-up management,and promote the popularization of PrEP and HIV/AIDS prevention and control efforts.
