Xi Jinping, the central figure in China's political landscape, has called on Hainan, the nation's southernmost province, to spearhead a new chapter in advancing Chinese modernization.
In a recent address, Xi, who also serves as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, praised Hainan's accomplishments across various sectors. He outlined clear directives for the province's future endeavors.
Xi emphasized Hainan's strategic role as a pilot zone for comprehensive reform and opening-up, ecological conservation, international tourism, and major national strategy services. He encouraged the development of a modern industrial system that capitalizes on Hainan's unique strengths, particularly in tourism, modern services, high-tech industries, and tropical high-efficiency agriculture.
Furthermore, Xi stressed the importance of robust reforms, urging Hainan to align with international economic and trade standards, aggressively promote systematic opening up, and establish a first-class business environment that is market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized.
With these directives, Hainan is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping China's economic future.
