Children played "stoning the five pests" at a Dragon Boat Festival kindergarten celebration in China. The festival commemorates the poet Qu Yuan.
China plans to enhance its childcare system, aiming for affordable and reliable care for infants and toddlers. The goal is over 80% coverage in major cities within a decade. The NHC will expand services for both the elderly and young children, increasing affordable facilities.
Public childcare will expand, with a focus on community and family options. Kindergartens will be encouraged to add childcare. Inclusive services will be integrated into employee welfare.
The government has improved support policies, including tax deductions. Local governments are encouraged to develop childcare, with subsidies and vouchers. Standards for childcare institutions have been established. Healthcare institutions will provide health management services.
The supply of childcare services is being improved with central funding. Services include various care options. Demonstration projects will guide cities.
The NHC will continue to increase inclusive childcare. A framework will be established, including various service types. Integrated early childhood education and care will be promoted.
Quality will be improved through medical institution support, facility upgrades, staff training, and safety inspections.

It's hard to trust a government that allows games promoting violence at children's celebrations!

Celebrating a poet should not involve promoting violence in any form, even as a game.

So while you're celebrating a cultural history, we're also normalizing violence with children's games?

Great, more childcare options! But let's hope they start prioritizing what children learn in the process.

Is stoning the five pests really an appropriate game for children? Seems cruel and outdated.

Community-focused childcare options will truly help to strengthen family bonds and social ties.
