How can the responsibility for saving grain be firmly placed on enterprises' shoulders?
Opening remarks: China's grain production has had consecutive bumper harvests, and at present grain production and demand remain basically balanced.

How can family urbanization be advanced? Five suggestions for reference
China's urbanization differs from the family-led population migration of other market economy countries; instead, it is rural migrant workers working and integrating into cities.
