Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival.
With the Spring Festival—the most significant traditional festival for Chinese people—approaching on January 29 this year, Xi continued his long-standing tradition of connecting with ordinary citizens before the holiday.
During his visit to Shenyang, Xi toured a bustling food market and a local residential community. He learned about the supply of goods during the festive season and examined measures implemented to meet residents' daily needs and enhance public services.
Xi engaged with local vendors and residents, emphasizing the importance of ensuring ample supplies and stable prices of essential commodities during the holiday period.
