On Thursday, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, conducted an inspection tour in Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province. The visit comes just days before the Spring Festival, the most significant and festive occasion for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29 this year.
Amid the bustling preparations for the lunar new year, Xi visited a local food market, immersing himself in the lively atmosphere and engaging with vendors and shoppers. He inquired about the supply and prices of essential goods during the holiday season, emphasizing the importance of ensuring ample provisions to meet the rising demand.
Following the market visit, Xi toured a residential community in Shenyang. There, he learned about the measures implemented to optimize public services and support residents' daily needs. He listened attentively to the concerns and suggestions of community members, expressing his commitment to improving people's livelihoods and enhancing community welfare.
For over a decade, it has been Xi's tradition as the top leader of the Party and the state to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits underscore a dedication to staying connected with citizens across the nation, particularly during times of cultural significance.
Xi's trip to Shenyang highlights the government's focus on the well-being of its people and the importance of regional development in northeast China. By engaging directly with local communities, Xi reinforces the Party's commitment to fostering prosperity and harmony throughout the country.
