On September 14, the Information Office of the State Council held a series of press conferences on the theme of “Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan”. The National Health Commission, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the National Administration for Disease Control and Prevention introduced decisive progress in promoting the construction of a healthy China. Lei Haichao, director of the National Health Commission, mentioned that our country now has a total population of 1.405 billion, and it will remain a populous country for a long time in the world. There has been negative population growth in the last 4 years, but the fundamentals of populous countries have not changed. Higher education is booming. Every year, more than 10 million new students are enrolled in colleges and universities, which can provide the community with high-quality labor resources. Although the number of new births has declined in recent years, it is still in the order of 8 million. Compared to other developed and developing countries, the number of births is still very small at this level, so there will still be plenty of labor resources in the future.
