HONG KONG Guangdong wants to train 200,000 Teen shot by cops charged with rioting, attacking police domestic helpers

JULIE ZHU

HE Guangdong government is Tseeking to cooperate with Macau and Hong Kong’s domestic helper service organizations in order to train as many as 200,000 domestic helpers across the province. Recently, Guangdong province’s information bureau released a do- mestic helper plan to support the employment market. The project sti- pulates that the province will specifi- cally enable Guangdong’s workers to enter the domestic help industry. According to this plan, by 2021, Guangdong hopes to achieve the following specific goals: to build and to support 50 provincial level domestic help service training de- monstration bases; to build and to support 100 leading domestic help service companies; to encourage and to guide 1,000 qualified and capable training organizations to participate in the province’s training of domes- tic help service providers; to carry out domestic help service training to 200,000 people; and to create more than 400,000 jobs. The project, which presently con- sists only of general guidelines, is di- vided into three parts with a total of 22 polices, including organizing re- levant entities to improve skills, star- ting entrepreneurship projects, deve- loping brands, and protecting rights, among others. In order to achieve its goals, Guangdong province officials believe it will be beneficial to further regional cooperation under the Greater Bay Area framework. Ge Guoxing, deputy head of the social security department of Guang- dong province’s human resources of- fice, said that the two SARs had exper- tise to share in regard to the domestic helper market. “Hong Kong and Macau have many different practices in domestic help services, have many good and qualified agencies, and have many domestic help service employees warrants, among other executive already enjoys ve the situation,” while after Lam refused to rule be used to delay the from overseas,” said Ge. “Their measures.

All those weapons seemed in- tended to imbue China with the AP PHOTO ability to back up its territorial claims with credible threats, es- pecially against the possibility of U.S. intervention. Many, inclu- ding the already deployed DF- -21D anti-ship ballistic missile, are seen as standoff weapons to keep U.S. aircraft carriers at bay while subjecting bases such as Guam to the possibility of attack. China has also responded to what it sees as U.S. moves in the region that threaten its own se- curity. That includes the deploy- ment of the advanced THAAD air defense system in South Korea and Washington’s stated deter- mination to deploy a land-based intermediate-range missile in the Asia-Pacific “sooner rather than later,” following its withdrawal last week from the Intermediate- -Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. China said in August it “will not stand idly by” and would take countermeasures if the U.S. goes ahead with those plans. “China should develop mis- siles that can hit any corners of the world especially the U.S. as a means of counter-attack,” Yue Gang, retired colonel and military commentator said. “China must have the deterrent to curb the use of nuclear weapons ...
