BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Han Zheng on Saturday stressed efforts to ensure the people will be kept warm and safe in winter.
Han, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks in a video and telephone conference on the winter heating supply in the country's northern regions.
