Socialism in China Empowers the Disabled Population!

China: A Guide in Wheelchair – Zhu Junlin -Empowers People with Disabilities in Nanjing! (29.11.2025)

At Sunflower Home for the Disabled, Zhu and her team provide services such as vocational training, rehabilitation, and care. They also partner with businesses to help individuals with disabilities find jobs nearby or work from home.

In 2025, Nanjing’s first high-standard “accessible express hotel,” advocated by Zhu, went into operation. She personally tested and measured every detail of the accessibility facilities in the hotel.

China: Online Hub Empowers People with Disabilities in Digital Jobs! (20.10.2024)

Tang Xiaopeng, 32, has worked at the base for seven years. Born with a congenital condition, he has used a wheelchair all his life. “My parents gave me my first life, but the employment base gave me a second one, allowing me to live with dignity,” said Tang.

As Tang grew older, he realized he could no longer rely on his aging parents. “The base provides a job, accommodation and meals. I can take care of myself and even contribute financially to my family,” Tang noted. Since 2017, he has saved over 70,000 yuan to help his family.

Thanks to continued government efforts and support from charitable enterprises, Liu’s employment base has grown, providing jobs for over 80 disabled people and conducting thousands of training sessions in employment and internet skills.

“Though our lives are tougher than those of physically abled healthy people, we all have dreams. Even if our wings are broken, our hearts still soar,” said Liu.

PRC Dominates Para-Olympics! 2024

China: Friendships Forged in Gold at Paris Paralympics! (9.8.2024)

At the closing ceremony, swimmer Jiang Yuyan and track and field athlete Di Dongdong served as flag bearers for the Chinese delegation. The night before, at Paris La Defense Arena, 19-year-old Jiang shattered the world record in the women’s 100-meter backstroke S6 final with a time of 1:19.44, claiming her seventh gold medal at the Paris Paralympics.

“Standing on that podium, watching the flag rise and hearing the (national) anthem play because of my own hard work — it’s a feeling of pride and fulfillment that’s hard to describe,” Jiang said. “I often sing the anthem as loud as I can, I wonder if you can hear me.”

The Chinese delegation reaffirmed its dominance in swimming, athletics, table tennis, fencing and badminton, securing 22 gold medals in swimming and 21 in athletics.

Paralympic pool prodigy Guo Jincheng, who is easily recognizable with his shaved head and no swimming cap, competed in nine events, bringing home four gold and two silver medals.

Paris Para-Olympics: BBC Celebrates “Non-Chinese” Victory! (6.9.2024)

The BBC “celebrates” that the “Chinese” Para-Olympic Athlete – Gao Gang (高芳) – was defeated, not as an opposing sportsperson, but simply because she happens to be “Chinese”! The reality is that the capitalist West does not value people with disability – as their minds and bodies are considered “unexploitable” from a typical commercial perspective – or if exploitable, to a far lesser degree then a person considered “able”, and so on. This is why the capitalists have referred to disabled people as being “Invalids” – that is a “person without validity”. Nothing has changed in essence – despite much appearing to change on the surface. I fully support all people with disabilities – including Sammi Kinghorn (what an achievement) – but I do not accept BBC racism disguised as sporting commentary. Furthermore, people with disabilities are stronger joining together in an “Internationalist” collective – rather than separating into competing camps of Bourgeois spite, pettiness, and reaction. Socialist China values people with disabilities – the capitalist West does not – and this is demonstrated through the PRC’s total domination of the Medal Table at the Paris Para-Olympics!

China: New Law Assists Visually Impaired Citizens! (2.9.2023)

In Beijing, Liao Juan, an associate professor at Capital Normal University’s School of Management, said the law closely addresses the demands and expectations of the elderly and the disabled in terms of system design, establishing standards, and construction requirements.

She said the process of formulating the law is the best example of how the nation’s top legislature responds to public needs.

To implement the law and make it work effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it will give stronger support to technological innovation in constructing accessible services.

The use of new technologies to guide the blind, along with voice control and speech recognition, will be encouraged, the ministry said, adding that it will also require enterprises to “bridge the digital gap” to ensure the elderly and disabled enjoy technological convenience.

The China Disabled Persons’ Federation has promised to organize visits to accessible facilities and provide feedback to relevant departments.

The federation also said it will compile and publish more books in Braille and provide versions for those with poor vision.
