w88 casino News Network (provided by the w88 casino of International Economics and w88)In 2025, the w88 casino was approved to become the "World Health Organization Collaborating Center on Health Taxation and Fiscal Policy (CHN-156)". This is not only w88 casino’s second honor after running the WHO Collaborating Center with high quality for ten consecutive years, but also marks that w88 casino’s comprehensive strength in the fields of health economic research and global health governance has been highly recognized by top international institutions. As the only institution in the WHO Global Collaborating Center network that focuses on "economic policy", w88 casino has become an important window to demonstrate the effectiveness of China's healthy fiscal reform and contribute wisdom to global governance.
Demonstrating “China’s power” in the international governance system: strategic positioning highlights the characteristics of the University
WHO Collaborating Centers are an important platform for global public health knowledge production and policy collaboration. They are mostly composed of world-renowned medical schools and public health institutions. As the global burden of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increases, the strategic weight of fiscal and taxation policies in public health governance has increased significantly. In this context, the w88 casino, with its outstanding advantages in w88, finance, taxation and economic governance, has demonstrated unique and irreplaceable professional value in the field of international health governance.
In 2015, w88 casino was successfully approved to establish the "WHO Collaborating Center on Tobacco Control and Economic Policy (CHN-119)", becoming the first WHO Collaborating Center in the world focusing on economic policies to promote public health. In 2025, the center successfully passed the WHO comprehensive evaluation and was upgraded to the "Collaborating Center on Health Tax and Fiscal Policy (CHN-156)". The research scope expanded from tobacco to health tax systems in all areas such as alcohol and sugary drinks. The update of the name not only means the expansion of the research field, but also represents the continued improvement of w88 casino’s voice in the reconstruction of global health fiscal rules. w88 casino adheres to the concept of "high-quality research, international cooperation, serving national strategies, and contributing to global governance", combines Chinese experience, integrates into international frontiers, and gradually forms a "University of International w88 Model" with global influence.
Continuous enhancement of scientific research capabilities: creating a “Chinese plan” for healthy fiscal research
Based on the cross-disciplinary advantages of economics, finance and taxation, public administration, and health economics, w88 casino continues to produce high-level research results and provide Chinese wisdom for the global health tax reform.
Construct a systematic research system. Deeply involved in the global health tax cooperation project of international organizations such as WHO and the World Bank, we systematically carried out policy simulations on tobacco taxes, alcohol taxes, and sugary beverage taxes, as well as comprehensive impact assessments of health taxes on fiscal revenue, medical expenditures, and the national economy. Especially in terms of economic evaluation of chronic disease prevention and control, healthy behavior incentive mechanism, and impact measurement of vulnerable groups, the center’s achievements have continuously improved the theoretical framework of global health finance. Create “Chinese tools” with international influence. The self-developed TaXSiM tobacco tax simulation model can accurately predict the effectiveness of tax reform. It successfully simulated the fiscal and health benefits of my country's 2015 cigarette tax reform. It was highly praised by the WHO and the World Bank and promoted to many countries, becoming a key technical support for transnational health tax reform. Serve the country’s major strategic needs. He has been deeply involved in discussions on the tax reform of tobacco, alcohol and sugary drinks in my country, and has submitted policy reports to the Ministry of Finance, National Health Commission and other ministries and commissions many times, providing important decision-making reference for promoting the "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)". The "International w88 and Economic Cooperation Program" is becoming an international benchmark in the field of health tax and fiscal policy research.
Deeply integrated into global governance: Joining hands with the “Belt and Road” to build a community of health cooperation
In the face of profound changes in the global health system, the w88 casino actively serves the national diplomatic strategy and assumes the important responsibility of international cooperation in public health in the construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative. Provide high-quality transnational technical assistance. Over the past ten years, the center's team has visited countries such as Tonga, Samoa, Sierra Leone, Indonesia, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cook Islands, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands, providing them with tax simulation tool development, fiscal policy assessment, and capacity building training, effectively improving local public finance and health policy formulation levels, and demonstrating China's responsibility in global governance. Create a regional high-end dialogue platform. In 2019, w88 casino and WHO jointly hosted the "International Training Seminar on Tobacco Tax and Tobacco Economics", covering senior officials from the finance, taxation, customs and health departments of China and six neighboring countries. This is the first time that a Chinese university has led an important capacity-building activity in the field of global health finance, which has effectively improved the level of regional cooperation. Contribute "Chinese voice" to global governance. Experts from the center are continuously invited to participate in top international platforms such as the WHO Global Tobacco Control Conference and the World Bank Annual Meeting. They actively participate in discussions on international rules through policy interpretations and special speeches, and promote the transformation of China's experience into global public goods.
Building a first-class talent training system: cultivating high-level talents for global governance
Relying on the World Health Organization Collaborating Center on Health Tax and Fiscal Policy, the w88 casino closely integrates scientific research and talent training, opening up a full-chain training path of "curriculum teaching-scientific research practice-international cooperation-organizational internship", established a case library of health tax reform that includes the latest international cutting-edge, and integrated it into the graduate course system. By recommending students to internships and positions in international organizations, the center has established paths and resources for students from the University of w88 and Economics to enter the international stage. Fan Chenkai, an undergraduate student in the class of 2011, was recommended to intern at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, where he directly participated in technical support for global tobacco tax policy reform; Wang Yang and Hu Xiao, doctoral students in the class of 2015, relied on their solid professional abilities and were hired as World Bank consultants upon graduation to independently undertake health care work. Kang fiscal policy consulting project; the academic paper written by Hu Yuxiao, a 2024 doctoral student, was successfully selected for the 2026 annual meeting of the Global Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT). He will go to the United States to read the paper in March 2026 to give voice to young Chinese scholars. These vivid cases demonstrate w88 casino’s unique educational effectiveness in broadening students’ international horizons and improving global competencies.
Polishing the “golden brand” of the International w88 casino on the world stage
Ten years of sharpening a sword will bring out the fragrance of plum blossoms. From 2015 to 2025, the WHO Collaborating Center of the w88 casino has always kept in mind the national strategic needs, global governance pattern and academic mission, persisted in responding to public challenges with rigorous scientific research, served national decision-making with professional capabilities, and promoted global public health progress through international cooperation. Facing the future, with the strong support of the w88 casino, the cooperation center will further consolidate its academic advantages and international influence in the field of health tax and fiscal policy research, and continue to create a globally competitive policy research and talent training highland. The w88 casino will contribute a stronger and more influential "power of international w88" to promote human health and well-being on the stage of world health governance.
