Chinese President Xi Jinping has visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year. During his visit on Thursday, Xi, who is also the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, inspected local communities and markets to assess preparations for the holiday.
At a bustling food market, Xi interacted with vendors and shoppers, inquiring about the supply and prices of goods during the festive season. He emphasized the importance of ensuring abundant supplies and stable prices to meet the needs of residents during the most important festival for the Chinese people.
Xi then visited a residential community in Shenyang, where he learned about measures taken to improve public services and enhance the daily lives of residents. He expressed appreciation for efforts made in optimizing community services and encouraged local officials to continue prioritizing the well-being of the people.
For over a decade, it's been a tradition for Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits reflect a commitment to understanding the needs and concerns of the populace, fostering a closer connection between the government and its citizens.
The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, is a time of family reunions and cultural celebrations across the nation. Xi's visit to Shenyang underscores the significance of the festival and the government's dedication to ensuring a prosperous and harmonious holiday for all.
