Chinese leader Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited Zhaoxing Dong Village in Guizhou Province's Liping County this week, spotlighting efforts to advance rural development while preserving cultural heritage. The tour centered on strategies to strengthen grassroots governance, improve social services, and integrate ethnic traditions into modernization initiatives.
During his inspection of the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture village, Xi engaged with local officials and residents to discuss progress in rural revitalization—a national campaign aiming to boost infrastructure, economic opportunities, and quality of life in China's countryside. The village's success in balancing tourism-driven growth with the protection of Dong ethnic architecture, crafts, and customs was highlighted as a model for sustainable development.
Analysts note the visit underscores the CPC's emphasis on reducing urban-rural disparities and fostering social stability through inclusive growth. The region's focus on ethnic cultural preservation aligns with broader efforts to promote national unity while leveraging local strengths for economic diversification, a theme increasingly relevant to investors eyeing China's inland markets.
