On October 15-16, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Fujian Province to review its work and accomplishments, receiving reports from the Provincial Party Committee and government. He acknowledged the achievements made in various sectors and provided clear guidance for future endeavors.
During his visit, Xi encouraged Fujian to maintain its focus on the goal of building a “new Fujian,” characterized by a dynamic mechanism, high-quality industries, prosperous citizens, and a beautiful environment. His remarks set a clear direction for Fujian’s high-quality development, injecting strong momentum into the collective efforts of its cadres and citizens. This approach aims to propel Fujian to the forefront of China’s modernization efforts.
Fujian holds special significance for Xi Jinping, having been his workplace and a key location for the development of Xi’s Thoughts on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. He introduced essential concepts such as “weak birds fly first,” and the “dripping water pierces stone” philosophy. He oversaw the creation of the “3820” strategic project, spearheaded environmental projects like the governance of Yunding Lake and the protection of Gulangyu Island, emphasized the preservation of historical and cultural heritage during urban renovations, and promoted initiatives like “Digital Fujian” and the “Jinjiang Experience.” The transformative changes he initiated in Fujian reflect not only this strategic thinking but also a commitment to the well-being of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation.
Fujian is a significant province for private enterprise, recognized as one of the “greenest” in the country and the first ecological civilization pilot zone. With its rich and diverse culture, it shares close ties with Taiwan. In the new era and on the new journey ahead, Fujian must leverage its unique advantages, embrace responsibility, and strive to excel within the broader context of China’s modernization.
During this investigation, Xi reiterated a series of crucial directives for Fujian’s high-quality development, urging the province to forge new paths in integrating technological and industrial innovation, to excel in deepening reforms and expanding openness, to set an example in coordinating regional development, and to consistently enhance cultural influence while showcasing a fresh image of Fujian.
Local Party committees and governments at all levels are tasked with implementing Xi’s important instructions in detail, fully embracing the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee. They must take decisive action and overcome challenges to lead Fujian in the construction of Chinese-style modernization. Key initiatives include accelerating the establishment of a comprehensive innovation support system, advancing integrated reforms in education, science, technology, and talent, upholding the principle of “two unwavering commitments,” innovating the “Jinjiang Experience,” building cross-strait integration demonstration zones, and enhancing cooperative mechanisms between mountainous and coastal regions.
Fujian’s vibrant landscape serves as a fertile ground for nurturing the spirit of perseverance and innovation. The province’s cadres and citizens are called upon to deeply implement Xi’s guidance with unwavering commitment, continuously advancing with agility and strength. They should aim for significant progress in building a modern economic system, contributing effectively to the new development paradigm, exploring new avenues for cross-strait integration, and achieving greater breakthroughs in quality of life. Together, they will contribute to the comprehensive advancement of national strength and the rejuvenation of the nation within the framework of Chinese-style modernization.
