Chan, a former political assistant to the HKSAR government's secretary for food and health, defeated the other four candidates in the by-election, and filled a vacancy in the sixth LegCo membership. Voting for the by-election was held from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. local time on Sunday. Six members of the sixth LegCo were disqualified by the court for invalid oath-taking at their swearing-in ceremony in 2016. Four of the six vacancies were filled in a March by-election. After Sunday's by-election in the Kowloon West geographical constituency, there is still one vacancy in the LegCo to be filled. The LegCo is the legislative body of the HKSAR. Each term of office of the LegCo is four years, except for the first term when it was set to be two years. The term of office of the sixth LegCo began on Oct. 1, 2016. 1 inch wide silicone wristbandsmontre tommy hilfiger homme bracelet siliconeimprinted rubber braceletssilicone diabetic braceletsblank wristband
[Photo/CGTN] A national political adviser has suggested promoting diet education among the public to improve the overall health of the population and promote sustainable development. With Chinese people changing their diet habits and the excessive intake of nutrition and calories becoming an increasingly common problem, it is necessary to promote public education on healthy dietary habits, Gu Jianwen, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said. Diet education should be promoted in various sectors, including schools, healthcare, agriculture and food production and sales, he said. In many developed countries, regulations have been established to promote diet education, but such regulations and systems are lacking in China, Gu, also president of the People's Liberation Army 306 Hospital, said. Promoting diet education is particularly important to minors to help them form good habits at the start, which will contribute to their physical and psychological health over their entire life, he said. Diet education also promotes people's awareness of the protection of natural resources and helps establish harmonious relationships between man and nature, he said.
