Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored the necessity of high-quality economic development during his two-day inspection of Guizhou Province this week, highlighting reform and modernization as critical drivers for sustainable growth in Southwest China.
As both head of state and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Xi urged local officials to maintain confidence and adopt “steady, pragmatic steps” toward advancing Chinese modernization. His remarks emphasized leveraging innovation and comprehensive reforms to address regional disparities while maintaining environmental stability.
Guizhou, once a mountainous frontier province, has transformed into a hub for big data and eco-tourism under national poverty-alleviation initiatives. Analysts note Xi’s visit signals continued focus on balanced regional development and tech-driven industrial upgrades ahead of key economic policy discussions this year.
