Strengthen the weak links

补齐短板(buqi duanban)

One of the key phrases in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) is "strengthen the weak links" in the country's development over the next five years. While the country has laid firm foundations for accomplishing the first centenary goal of comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society by 2020, there are obvious undertakings that still need to be accomplished, for example, equal education, critical illness insurance, reform of the house-hold registration system and ecological and environmental protection. Moreover, the situations may differ in various localities and hence should be solved accordingly.
