【正确答案】正确答案： Children' s survival, protection and growth have a direct bearing on a country and a nation's future and destiny. The Chinese nation has long cultivated the traditional virtues of "bringing up the young" and "caring for the young. " An old Chinese saying that "Love our own and others' children" is still very popular. The Chinese government, with an earnest and responsible attitude, always attaches vital importance to children's survival, protection and growth. It regards "providing education for children to improve the quality of the whole nation" as a fundamental policy for its socialist modernization drive. The government urges the society at large to " protect and educate children, and set an example and do practical things for children. " It spares no effort to create favorable social conditions for the progress of children's undertakings. Since the implementation of the policy of reform and opening to the outside world, children's programs in China have further moved into social, scientific and legal tracks; and children's programs have become an important part of the nation's construction and the duties of the whole society. To truly protect children's rights and interests, China's legislative, judicial and relevant government departments as well as mass organizations have set up corresponding mechanisms to supervise, facilitate and promote the sound development of the work concerning children's protection. The National People's Congress, the highest organ of state power in China, has under it the Committee for Internal and Judicial Affairs, which is responsible for legislation for the protection of the rights and interests of women and children as well as for the supervision and examination of law enforcement. This committee has a special group for women and children staffed with full-time personnel. The Chinese government always gives priority to children's education in the promotion of education in general. Thanks to the concerted efforts made by the government and the society, children's education has seen great progress in the past few years, with many indexes higher than those of other developing countries and some indexes close to those of developed countries. The Chinese government has done a great deal to mobilize all sectors of society to care for, in various manners, the growth of disabled children, to greatly encourage the spirit of unceasing self-improvement among physically disadvantaged children and to advocate the social virtues of unity, friendship and mutual aid. The media actively reports on their living conditions and work. Radio and TV stations offer special programs with sign language and captions for physically disadvantaged children. To create a favorable social environment for physically disadvantaged children's survival and growth, China has set and gradually implemented standards for the design of urban roads, buildings, and other obstacle-free facilities for their convenience. To promote international cooperation in the protection of children, the Chinese government and society at large have taken an active part in global and regional international cooperation and exchanges regarding children's survival, protection and growth while devoting themselves to this cause in a down-to-the-earth and effective manner. In recent years, China has effectively cooperated with the UN Children's Fund, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the World Health Organization in its work to protect children. This has been highly appreciated by international organizations and experts.
