In the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, Chinese leadership emphasizes improving living conditions for residents and addressing issues that people consider urgent or difficult. According to President Xi Jinping, the main goal is to ensure that the results of China's modernization benefit all residents as evenly as possible.
Questions about people's daily lives have long been a topic of interest for Xi Jinping during his working trips and meetings.
After celebrating the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, on July 1st, he visited the Xincun residential area in Shanghai. The area, which was once known for its old and small houses, has undergone extensive renovation. During his visit, Xi Jinping praised the changes achieved and emphasized that every issue directly affecting the lives of residents must be addressed properly, and their living standards should be continuously improved.
Chinese leadership also pays attention to the aging population. Before this year's Spring Festival, Xi Jinping visited a senior care center in Beijing. He recalled that respect and care for older people are part of traditional Chinese values, and that responsibility for a dignified old age is shared by families, society, and public institutions.
According to him, local party and government bodies should better coordinate available resources, expand the capacity of social services, improve their quality, and create conditions for their long-term sustainable development.
Another important topic is employment. In Beijing, Xi Jinping met with couriers and other workers in new forms of employment. He was interested in their working and living conditions and praised their daily work and contribution to society.
Attention is also focused on the younger generation. During his March visit to the new Xiong'an area in Hebei Province, Xi Jinping visited a local school, where he encouraged students to study diligently, stay active, and develop together with the rapidly changing region.
According to Chinese leadership, improving living conditions also includes a quality environment. During this year's spring voluntary tree planting event in Beijing, Xi Jinping emphasized the need to involve the general public in afforestation and nature conservation, and to further improve environmental conditions in the country.
Healthcare remains an important area. During this year's Two Sessions, Xi Jinping stated that building a "healthy China" must be based on domestic conditions and continue along the path of healthcare tailored to Chinese specifics.
During the April collective study session of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, attention was also focused on preventing natural disasters and crisis management. On this occasion, Xi Jinping called for strengthening the ability to prevent disasters, mitigate their consequences, and protect the lives and property of residents.
In this way, Chinese leadership emphasizes the principle of being people-centered in the modernization of the country. The goal of each measure is to gradually improve the living standards, sense of security, and overall quality of life for residents.
