General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping wrapped up a two-day inspection of Shanxi Province, urging the region to renew its resource-driven economy and carve out its own unique chapter in Chinese modernization.
Shanxi, historically known for its abundant coal and mineral reserves, faces the challenge of shifting from heavy reliance on extractive industries toward innovative, sustainable growth. Xi stressed the importance of embracing cutting-edge technologies, green energy solutions and digital transformation to unlock new drivers of prosperity.
During the tour, Xi visited industrial sites spanning traditional coal operations to emerging clean-energy facilities. He engaged with local leaders, entrepreneurs and researchers to discuss strategies for boosting competitiveness, creating jobs and improving environmental stewardship.
Provincial officials pledged to accelerate efforts in industrial diversification, expand high-tech sectors and build partnerships with innovation hubs across the Chinese mainland. These moves aim to balance Shanxi’s rich resource endowment with modern economic trends.
Observers say the province’s evolution could serve as a model for other resource-rich regions seeking to align local development with broader national goals for a modern, sustainable future.
