The Chinese government attaches great importance to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers and has always required overseas Chinese companies to abide by local laws and regulations, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
Guo made the statement in response to a media query about a Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer' employment conditions in Brazil.
"As we have emphasized many times, the Chinese government attaches great importance to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers and has always required Chinese-funded companies to operate in accordance with laws and regulations. China is willing to continue to work with Brazil to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in various fields on the principle of equality, mutual benefit, win-win cooperation," he said.

Starting from Jan 1, "Beijing Service," a service platform backed by the Beijing municipal government, extended its coverage to the city's two international airports, setting up 24-hour kiosks to facilitate visitors from abroad.
On the first day of 2025, two Beijing Service kiosks near the international arrivals areas of Beijing's Capital International Airport and Daxing International Airport were put into use, with well-trained staff providing 24-hour multilingual services for global travelers.
"This year we have set up service stations in Beijing's Capital International Airport and Daxing International Airport to provide travelers with one-stop services including payment setup, mobile phone services, and transport and tourism consultation, covering four categories of more than 20 convenient services. The services aim to further facilitate foreigners to study, travel, or live in Beijing, and to upgrade the level of Beijing's international services," said Zhang Li, division chief of the Beijing Municipal Administration of Government Services and Data Management.
The move came after the city's recent poll with international visitors on what could be done to improve their experience in China, aiming to better support the surging global visitors brought by the country's visa-free policies.
The Beijing Service platform can now provide a one-stop solution to newcomers, and address most of the common concerns of foreign travelers.
"So far, I haven't had any problems, and it seems quite straightforward and it's easy to follow the instructions, everyone gives clear instructions, so it's quite easy to follow. So far everyone I have talked to is able to give feedback (on) what I needed, so it's been good," said Rahima Siddiqui, a traveler from New Zealand.
