Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the critical role of the working class in advancing national rejuvenation during a major event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions on Monday. Speaking as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Xi urged unity and collective effort among workers to transform China's long-term development goals into reality.
"The strength of our working class is the foundation for building a modern socialist country," Xi stated, addressing attendees at the gathering, which also honored model workers and exemplary individuals. He highlighted the need for "down-to-earth hard work" to achieve the nation's ambitious vision of rejuvenation by 2049.
The event underscored the CPC's focus on labor-driven growth as a pillar of economic stability. Analysts note that Xi's remarks align with China's dual-circulation strategy, which prioritizes domestic innovation and self-reliance amid global uncertainties. With over 300 million workers in China's industrial sector, their productivity remains central to sustaining the country's development trajectory.
