A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official emphasized the nation's commitment to advancing cultural development during a high-profile forum in Zhejiang Province on Monday. The event marked the 20th anniversary of eight landmark cultural projects initiated by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his tenure as the province's Party chief.
Li Shulei, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of its Publicity Department, addressed attendees in Hangzhou, highlighting the enduring impact of Xi's cultural policies. The projects, launched in 2003, focused on producing quality cultural works, preserving heritage, and advancing academic research—efforts credited with shaping Zhejiang's cultural landscape.
Forum participants reviewed achievements in implementing Xi's vision, which has driven innovations in traditional culture preservation and digital-era cultural promotion. Officials pledged to strengthen China's global cultural influence through creative adaptations of traditional values and enhanced digital storytelling strategies.
The gathering, co-hosted by Zhejiang's provincial Party committee publicity department and provincial Academy of Social Sciences, underscored the CPC's ongoing prioritization of cultural development as a cornerstone of national rejuvenation.
