Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visits AIDS orphans in Shangcai County, central China's Henan Province, on November 30, a day before the 20th World AIDS Day.

The region of Shangcai has the highest concentration of people living with HIV/AIDS in China.

The Chinese Government has released a package of policies that offer people living with HIV/AIDS free medicine, health checks and consultations, as well as free

schooling to AIDS orphans.

With the establishment of Red Ribbon Homes in Beijing and other charity and

volunteer institutes, people living with HIV/AIDS are being given more access to social care and state financial aid.

An official report said that there are now close to 1 million people living with HIV/AIDS in China.
