Yuan strengthens against greenback

The central parity rate of the Chinese currency renminbi, or the yuan, strengthened 15 pips to 7.1840 against the US dollar on Tuesday, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System. In China's spot foreign exchange market, the yuan is allowed to rise or fall by 2 percent from the central parity rate each trading day. The central parity rate of the yuan against the US dollar is based on a weighted average of prices offered by market makers before the opening of the interbank market each business day.

Railway operators enhance services

Chinese railway operators are enhancing passenger services. At Yuci Railway Station in North China's Shanxi province, which is under China Railway Taiyuan Group, passenger channel signs have been set up at the entrance and at security checks to aid passengers in need of help. Free charging stations have also been installed, providing five-hole sockets and various charging interfaces, as well as multiple mobile power banks for passengers to fast charge devices. In addition, the station has established a "safe escort" team to provide one-stop services for key passengers such as the elderly, children, the sick, pregnant women and people in need of assistance.
