Wang Haidong, from the National Health Commission, said that there is also an application portal for childcare subsidies on third-party platforms such as Alipay and WeChat.

Wang Haidong, Director of the Population and Family Department of the National Health Commission, stated at a press conference on July 30 that applying for childcare subsidies is mainly done online through a national unified childcare subsidy information management system. The National Health Commission has also opened a special area for applying for childcare subsidies on local government service platforms, and has set up entrances for applying for childcare subsidies on third-party service platforms such as Alipay and WeChat, making it possible to apply for childcare subsidies without leaving home, anytime, and easily. The National Health Commission also retains offline channels for processing and manual services.
