兩部委:任何國有企業不得拒絕接收退役士兵
The Chinese government has told state-owned companies they must help absorb soldiers laid off due to military reforms, as part of their contribution to the army's modernization and social stability.
由於國家軍隊改革，鑑於退役老兵曾爲國家軍隊的現代化和社會穩定做出過重要貢獻，國家政府部門最近就國有企業接收安置退役士兵作出部署。Chinese President Xi Jinping unexpectedly announced in September that he would cut troop numbers by 300,000, or some 13 per cent of the world's biggest military, currently 2.3-million strong.
中國擁有堪稱世界上最壯大的軍隊，共計約有230萬人，今年九月，國家主席習近平出乎意料地宣佈裁軍30萬人，這一數量約佔軍隊人數的13%。The cuts come at a time of heightened economic uncertainty in China as growth slows, its stock markets falter and the leadership grapples with painful but needed economic reforms.
由於中國經濟增長放緩，經濟態勢緊張不穩，股票市場漂浮不定，政府需要盡力解決棘手的經濟改革問題，所以政府作出了此次裁軍的決定。
China has previously faced protests from demobilized soldiers, who have complained about a lack of support finding new jobs or help with financial problems.
因退役士兵找新工作缺乏政府支持和經濟幫助，中國政府之前受到了退役士兵的無奈抗議。The official People's Liberation Army (PLA) Daily, in a story on Tuesday (Dec 29), said the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Civil Affairs Ministry had ordered state-owned firms to help find jobs for demobbed troops. "Resettling and receiving ex-servicemen is connected to the overall picture of military construction and social harmony and stability," the newspaper said.
本週二，來自人民解放軍日報一則消息稱，國資委和民政部已下令國有企業幫助安置退伍老兵。“接收安置退役軍人關係到軍隊建設的大局，關係到社會和諧穩定，”該報如此報道。State-owned companies must not put forward any "discriminatory documents" targeting ex-servicemen nor refuse them nor offer limits on their numbers, the report said.
該報道還指出，任何企業不得下發針對退役士兵的歧視性文件，不得拒絕接收退役士兵或者限制、禁止下屬公司接收退役士兵。These rules are an important, practical measure to help support military reforms, it said, adding that state-owned firms have already shown a willingness to help.
這些措施對於幫助支持軍隊改革至關重要，國有企業已經表示願意配合政府工作來幫助退役老兵。
