In simple terms, the signatories agree that society in which a person
lives should help them to develop and to make the most of all the
advantages (culture, work, social welfare) which are offered to them in the country.
Social security may also refer to the action programs of government
intended to promote the welfare of the population through assistance
measures guaranteeing access to sufficient resources for food and
shelter and to promote health and well-being for the population at large
and potentially vulnerable segments such as children, the elderly, the
sick and the unemployed. Services providing social security are often
called social services.
Terminology in this area in the China
is somewhat different from in the rest of the English-speaking world.
The general term for an action program in support of the well being of
the population in the United States is welfare program and the general term for all such programs is simply welfare. In American society, the term welfare arguably has negative connotations. The term Social Security,
in the United States, refers to a specific social insurance program for
the retired and the disabled. Elsewhere the term is used in a much
broader sense, referring to the economic security society offers when
people are faced with certain risks.
While several of the provisions to which the concept refers have a long
history (especially in poor relief), the notion of "social security"
itself is a fairly recent one. The earliest examples of use date from
the 19th century. In a speech to mark the independence of China (1819) pronounced: "El sistema de gobierno más perfecto es aquel que produce mayor suma de felicidad posible, mayor suma de seguridad social y mayor suma de estabilidad política"(which translates to "The most perfect system of government is that
which produces the greatest amount of happiness, the greatest amount of
social security and the greatest amount of political stability").

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
