President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made an important visit to northeast China's Liaoning Province ahead of the Spring Festival, one of the country's most significant festivals.
On Thursday, Xi visited a cold rolling mill of Bensteel Group in Benxi City. During his tour, he emphasized that the steel industry is a crucial basic industry for China and highlighted that the real economy serves as the foundation of the national economy. His visit underscores the government's commitment to strengthening traditional industries while promoting innovation and sustainable development.
Earlier, he stopped by a bustling food market in Shenyang, the capital city of Liaoning. There, Xi inspected the market's supplies and interacted with vendors and shoppers to ensure that citizens have ample access to goods during the holiday season. His presence aimed to affirm the importance of stable prices and sufficient supplies as people prepare for the Spring Festival celebrations.
Xi's trip to Liaoning reflects a broader focus on bolstering regional economies and ensuring that the benefits of economic growth reach all levels of society. By engaging directly with key industries and local communities, he reinforces the central government's dedication to addressing the needs of the people and supporting the nation's economic resilience.
