"I have a question, the vast majority of Shanghai government documents are only available in Chinese. Foreign companies can only rely on their own translations for the English version, which results in misunderstandings among different companies due to different translations." Han Li, Vice President of New Zealand's Evergrande Group in Greater China, bluntly stated that this will affect the business environment in Shanghai. "The situation you mentioned does indeed exist, and we are also working to improve it. In the future, our government website will not only have an English version, but also a multilingual version in French, Spanish, Japanese, and other languages." Kong Fu'an, Director of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, told Han Li that Shanghai has launched the bilingual "Shanghai Information Weekly" in both Chinese and English since July 5th, covering important foreign-related information and policy interpretations in the past week.

For this meal allowance, Uncle Huang, who lives with his son, is arguing to move back to his old house in Huangpu. Today, the third meeting of the 16th Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress listened to and discussed the report of the Municipal Government on the improvement of elderly care policies and mechanisms in the city.
