The council, which gathers about 150 CFOs from some of the largest public and private companies in the world, said those CFOs responding to this quarter's survey feel more optimistic about the Chinese economy as the country is embracing a steady economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
该委员会称，随着中国经济正从新冠疫情中稳步恢复，本季度受访的首席财务官们对中国经济感到更加乐观。该委员会的成员包括全球一些最大的国有和私营企业的约150名首席财务官。

>'Cooling-off period' added
离婚冷静期新规将施行
Under the Civil Code, which comes into effect on Jan 1, couples will have a 30-day cooling-off period after handing their divorce application to the civil affairs department. During the period, either party can withdraw the application.
根据2021年1月1日将施行的《中华人民共和国民法典》，夫妻向民政部门提交离婚登记申请后将有30天的冷静期，在此期间，夫妻任何一方都可以向登记机关撤回离婚申请。
Yang Zongtao, a senior official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' social affairs department, said at a news briefing on Friday that the application system should only be used by couples who had reached an amiable agreement. Situations involving domestic violence are better served through the court system, Yang said. His remarks were directed at concerns raised by many Chinese internet users that this new rule might make it more difficult for people suffering from domestic violence to seek an end to a miserable relationship.
许多网友担心冷静期新规可能让家暴受害者更难逃脱一段不幸的婚姻，民政部社会事务司二级巡视员杨宗涛在12月4日的发布会上表示，离婚冷静期的规定只适用于协议离婚。对于有家暴情形的，当事人可向法院起诉离婚。
Wang Jinhua, director of the social affairs department, said the cooling-off period is in fact designed for couples to avoid making impulsive decisions.
民政部社会事务司司长王金华表示，离婚冷静期的设置主要是为了避免冲动离婚。
"The period offers them an opportunity to give a second thought to their marriage, to think whether they have really fallen out, and whether they have properly arranged their matters afterward concerning children or other family members," he said.
王金华表示，冷静期给了那些冲动离婚的人一剂后悔药，夫妻双方应妥善考虑，是不是感情确已破裂，是不是对子女抚养等问题都进行了妥善安置。
