One year ago, during a significant national meeting in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping introduced the Xi Jinping Thought on Culture. This concept emphasizes the importance of building stronger cultural confidence among the Chinese people.
In his vision, Xi incorporated core socialist values into the basic policies aimed at upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. By promoting these values, he seeks to reinforce the cultural identity and unity of the nation.
But what indeed is his vision on promoting Chinese culture? While the key quotes were highlighted during the meeting, the essence revolves around fostering a culture that is deeply rooted in the country’s rich history and traditions, while also embracing modern development.
Xi Jinping’s focus on culture underscores the belief that a nation’s strength is not only measured by its economic or military might but also by the vitality of its cultural heritage and its people’s confidence in it.
