Compar the Welfare system in China with the Welfare system in the UK

In China the low retirement pensions for employed women at 60 and men at 65, but in UK it has some differnet for women or men, it also to be equalized at 65 from 2011. In China there are some old people to work because some company allow their staff working until 70 age. Sometimes old person' wages maybe more than younger person. In UK unemployed people can get benefits from government's financial helping. This is the same for China there are unemployed people can take the lowest wage from government in every months.
There are some benefits exist in my country. For example, there are housing benefit, sickness benefit , maternity benefit and death grants. We have many social workers in my country and they are very popular in my country. In my country we called charities :Red Cross Society and The Hope Project. Red Cross Society is the important charity in my country. They not only help  disaster area people, homeless people and so on, but also help other country people. Charities collect money from people's fundraising and some from governments. There is not an equivalent of the Cities Advice Bureau in my country. Nowadays we have some heath service equivalent of the National Health Service(NHS) in my country.However, urban areas have different system for rural areas.In UK they usually earn over 1000 GPs. However, in China when people get sick, they often go to hospital to see a doctor, but now China governments start learn overseas government to develop family doctors. There are a few doctors into people's life. In China a typical nurse's uniform in most part is the same for UK. In my country the emergency telephone number is 110, 120 and 119. 110 calls policeman. 120 calls ambulance. 119 calls fire alarm. The popular 'alternative medicines' in my country is the Chinese medicines and aspirin.

Media continued( Newspaper)

Newspaper:DAILY&EXPRESS
Date: Tuesday May 10, 2011

In this newspaper the top story of the day is the Diana Inquest Samples Switched. I knew this story was the top story because the title was biggest than other tittle and the title had over half space in the first page. MIRROR report the similar news, but it is on the different page. Because if every newspaper has the same top story, people don't choose what newspaper they need. There are no fresh idea for people. In the Daily Express there are one page give the top story. However, in the Mirror  there are a quarter of one page give the story. Daily Express has a special space for the Comments/ Editorial section at page 26. Because in the top title called the similar as Comments.
Princess Diana's post-mortem samples were switched with those from another woman, an explosive new book claims. Wreck of the Mercedes in which Princess Diana was killed in August 1997.Morgan says he has uncovered a litany of conflicting data over Diana's death.

In conclusion, in my country there are the same type of newspaper for UK. However, we have not the Comments in newspaper.

Media TV

There are many different media TV programmes in UK. For example, BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5. On 3rd May 7 p.m.these programmes showed 'The One Show', 'Coast','Emmerdale' and 'News' respectively. 'The One Show' is talkshow programmes.Matt Baker and Alex Jones are programmes' compere. 'Coast' showed journeys along the south and west coast of Wales. It was a suggest a story idea.'Emmerdale' is shortlisted for popular programmes in ITV1 2011. Channel 4 and Channel 5 showed news programmes on 3rd May 7 p.m. In British, the most famous soaps is "coronation street".

In China a majority of TV programmes showed 'CCTV NEWS'. The news are civil news, international news and weather forecast. Some channel showed cartoon or series of drama.I think almost media is the same. The big different factor is China not have pay every Channel , people only pay 35 yuan to watch all programmes in TV.
