Tax fight escalates into Zhejiang riot as 28 are detained

浙江商人拒交赋税，导致警民冲突，28人被拘

Hundreds of business owners have clashed with riot police in east China's Zhejiang province after a row over taxation.

The unrest was sparked when the owner of a children's clothing firm in Huzhou's Zhili township refused to pay his tax bill.

Reports say the man gathered friends to attack the local tax collector, and the row snowballed into a riot where people threw stones and overturned cars.

The vendor from Anhui Province who led the riot has reportedly refused to pay taxes several times.

Netizens on Weibo.com claim the town of Zhili had forced local vendors to turn in additional taxes, which triggered the wide anger.
Officials contacted by journalists on Thursday said the situation was now calming down.

About 1.26 billion people are now covered by the basic form of health insurance, 13 times the number in 2002.

Xin stressed that in the next five years, China will strengthen legislation in the social field to guarantee and improve the people's livelihood, concerning employment, labor protection, social security, education, medical care, housing and so on.

According to the white paper, China has already established a legal basis in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological areas.

The next step is to guarantee the effective enforcement of the Constitution and laws and the building of a socialist country under the rule of law.

The white paper also says China will explore channels and forms for the public to participate in legislation activities.
Thanks,Shuangfeng for the report.

Curbs on home purchases to be 'phased out'

中国住建部官员称限购令有望“逐步取消”

A top housing official says restrictions on home purchases will be scrapped following the completion of a national database of property ownership.

China's minister of housing and urban-rural development says the restrictions will be quote "phased out" upon the establishment of a national housing information system.

The database is designed to increase the transparency of the property market, and prevent excessive price swings resulting from speculation.
The minister says the system can give the government a basic idea of the property status of an individual and their family members.

But some experts say the database doesn't necessarily mean the government will ease curbs on home purchases.

Experts are sharply divided about whether tightening measures will continue.
