Chinese leader Xi Jinping is set to publish a pivotal article on Saturday in the 22nd issue of Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. The article focuses on supporting Chinese modernization through high-quality population development.
Xi emphasizes that population development is crucial for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. He highlights the significant shift in China's population dynamics, noting trends such as a declining birth rate, an aging population, and regional disparities in population changes.
The article calls for a comprehensive understanding and accurate assessment of the new population development situation. Xi advocates for improved strategies in population development for the new era, aiming to enhance the overall quality of the population while maintaining an appropriate birth rate and population size.
To achieve these goals, several key tasks are outlined, including:
- Deepening reforms and innovations in education and health services
- Establishing and refining supportive childbirth policies
- Strengthening the development and utilization of human resources
- Implementing a national strategy to address population aging
By addressing these areas, Xi Jinping aims to foster a robust population framework that supports China's ongoing modernization efforts.
