    China rolls out free HPV vaccination

    China has made a major update to its National Immunization Program (NIP) by including a domestically produced HPV vaccine, offering it free to school-aged girls. This first revision in 17 years is a significant public health advancement, driven by a growing national focus on preventive care and rising cancer awareness. By providing widespread, free access, the policy directly tackles barriers of cost and availability, promising to drastically reduce cervical cancer rates and protect the long-term health of millions of women.

    Employee training in decline?

    American firms are cutting back on employee training, while Chinese companies are expanding their programs. Despite these opposing approaches, workers in both countries say the training they receive is often irrelevant to their real needs. If this is the case, is anyone actually helping employees build the skills required to advance in their careers? / Heart to Heart - please send your audio questions to roundtablepodcast@qq.com.(17:58) On the show: Heyang, Steve & Li Yunqi

    Less stress, more vacation time for students!

    In an effort to ease the burden on elementary and middle school students, some Chinese schools are embracing more vacations and fewer study aid workbooks. This new approach is designed to give young minds time to rest, recharge, and explore beyond the classroom. The critical question is whether these measures will genuinely reduce stress and enhance learning, or if parents and educators will find new ways to fill that freed time with academic pressures.

    Is pet tech just 'meh' tech?

    Our deep bond with pets often conflicts with modern demands like work and travel, leaving a lingering sense of guilt. Tech companies now promise solutions through gadgets that automatically feed, water, and entertain pets in our absence. But we must wonder whether these tools represent true progress in pet welfare or merely a way to profit from our emotional vulnerability. / Your milk tea comes with a cliffhanger on the receipt (14:30).
