As the Chinese Lunar New Year nears, President Xi Jinping’s Beijing tour—from innovation centers to senior homes and holiday stalls—served as a platform to inspire progress and share Year of the Dragon felicitations with compatriots everywhere.
The visit began Monday at Yizhuang’s premier IT innovation venue, where Xi explored advanced info-tech, AI, and robotics showcases. Dialogues with experts highlighted self-sufficient R&D as essential for a robust socialist future; Beijing should lead accordingly.
Tuesday brought Xi to Shijingshan’s ‘Wulao-Xinchye’ elder care precinct. He evaluated dining for the aged, service standards, and paused to honor resting delivery personnel for their toil. Traditional elder respect and communal care responsibilities were his keynotes.
At Longfu Block’s bustling walkable market zone, Xi engaged shoppers, bought festive tokens, and conveyed New Year warmth, pressing for welfare-centric and safety-assured celebrations.
Greetings flowed to every Chinese soul, Hong Kong-Macao allies, Taiwan relations, and overseas kin—wishing robust health, career wins, family harmony, national wealth, peace, and joy.
Beijing earned kudos for its path; Xi rallied it toward elite development, innovation drives, and synergy, to emerge as an international benchmark for livability and cohesion, modeling national aspirations. Urban ops, environment, services, and Party probity got spotlighted.
