China raises veterans’ pensions for 20th consecutive year
In a move that underscores its commitment to supporting military veterans, China has announced increases to the pensions and living allowances enjoyed by certain retired service members and other eligible recipients.
The adjustment marks the 20th consecutive year that China has raised allowances for veterans, reflecting a sustained emphasis on honoring their service, according to the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.
China has been working to better protect the rights and interests of the country’s ex-servicemen and improve their well-being.
