Online orders for food must be backed up by real restaurants and permits, said a guideline released by the State Council Food Safety Commission and 13 other departments.

The document covered the food chain from farmland to the table and aimed to improve food safety from service to management. Restaurants in key areas such as shopping malls and top tourism destinations should make their kitchens open and visible to customers, the guideline said.

Meanwhile, stricter governance will be carried out to control the number of unpermitted restaurants and outdoor food vendors, the document added.

Unemployment insurance to be raised to boost jobs

The country will steadily raise the unemployment insurance to 90 percent of the minimum wage, said a recent guideline by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance.

The insurance should be raised to ensure its two roles of ensuring basic needs and promote employment, based on the regulation on unemployment insurance, the guideline said.

With the unemployment insurance fund running safely, steps should be taken to raise the standard of coverage, the document added.
